  • Mineralogical and Chemical Properties of FGD Gypsum from Florina, Greece

Box 60228, 153 10 Ag. Paraskevi, Athens, Greece 2University of Athens, Department of Geology & Geoenvironment, Section of Economic Geology & Geochemistry, 15724, Panepistimiopolis, Athens, Greece Abstract BACKGROUND: The aim of this work is to define the chemical and mineralogical composition of the fuel gas desulphurization (FGD) gypsum produced from the Meliti thermal power plant in the region of Florina in North West Greece, in order to investigate potential uses in the cement industry. Mineralogical and microprobe analyses were carried out on FGD gypsum samples collected from the Meliti 330 MW lignite-fired power plant. RESULTS: Results show that the main component of the FGD gypsum is pure mineral gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O). The particle size of the gypsum ranges from 5 to 50 µm and the crystals are mainly of rhomboid shape. Microprobe analysis shows that the concentration of CaO and SO3, which are the main components, range from 31.9%–32.5% and from 45.90–46.40%, respectively. CONCLUSION: This FGD gypsum can easily substitute the natural gypsum used in the production of cement. 2007 Society of Chemical Industry Keywords: petrography; SEM; FGD gypsum; X-ray diffraction INTRODUCTION fly ash, for mine reclamation, to fill in openings that In 2001 the European Commission introduced the are left following the completion of mining activities.

However, a key part of the National Energy and Climate Plan is to gradually phase out the use of lignite, which includes the decommissioning of all existing lignite units by 2023, except the Ptolemaida V unit, which will be closed by 2028. This plan makes Greece a frontrunner among countries who intensively use lignite in energy production. In this context, this paper investigates the environmental, economic, and social state of Megalopolis and the related perspectives with regard to the energy transition, through the elaboration of a SWOT analysis, highlighting the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the municipality of Megalopolis and the regional unit of Arcadia.

We are referring to the political refugees of the Greek Civil War, who were excluded from general repatriation and live mainly in FYROM, and have the citizenship of this state. Andreas Loverdos: "…what functions as obstacles for the visit of these persons to Greece could very well be overcome in a simple but technical way. We are seeking a technical solution and have found a number of them." Journalist: This concerns the freedom to visit and communicate with relatives, which is the primary issue.
