    Gypsum with a purity of over 80% calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4.2H2O) is considered suitable for maintaining sulfur trioxide (SO3) in cement. Gypsum with very low purity can cause high insoluble residue and decreased strength due to high clay content. However, gypsum with a high purity of around 88% is ideal, but the amount of tricalcium aluminate (C3A) in the cement should also be considered when deciding the SO3 target.

    Purity of gypsum

    Generally Gypsum having purity more than 80% as CaSO4.2H2O is considered suitable for
    mentaining SO3. If Gypsum having very Low purity can cause high innsoluble residue in cement
    and decrease the strenght due to high caly content. However high purity of gypsum ~88.0% is
    ideal.But u should count C3A in cement before deciding SO3 target.
