Title: ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF FLUE GAS DESULFURIZATION GYPSUM
Accession Number: 00646077
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: As a result of sulfur oxides (SOx) emissions control for power plants burning lignite or sulfur coals, 18,000,000 Mg (20 million tons) of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum are generated annually in the United States. One application under which the material is being considered for use is in road base-subbase construction. Presented in this paper is a summary of the physical and chemical characterization, the radiological and leachate analysis, and the mechanical properties of FGD gypsum. Preliminary laboratory data indicate that cement stabilized FGD gypsum mixtures should perform satisfactorily in road base-subbase construction. However, further laboratory and field data are needed to fully understand and evaluate the properties of these materials.
