Since it is early inception .NATIONAL Gypsum Company has been catering to the local building sector’s needs for gypsum. Over this period of time , the NGC has developed qualitatively in order to cope with the overall growth and progress of Saudi Arabia . in line with this constant growth , NGC built a additional plants in Dammam, Yanbu and expanded its existing plants in Riyadh, this expansion was to and extent that the production capacity of the company has exceeded the local market needs and extended to cover that the Gulf market and other neighboring countries . the NGC has successively doubled its capital until it reached SR. 316,666,667 during the era of economic boom. God willing, NGC undertakes to keep up its contribution through constant development of this gigantic industrial edifice, NGC will also continue to cope with the constant growth of Saudi Arabia in line with its aspiration for a more promising future under the auspices of the Custodian of Two Holy Mosques, his loyal Crown Prince and HRH the Second Deputy Premier for whom we implore Allah The Almighty to safeguard and to guide their steps.

  • Gypsum and Carbon Amendment's
    GYPSUM AND CARBON AMENDMENT’S INFLUENCE ON SOIL PROPERTIES, GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, GROWTH AND NUTRIENT UPTAKE OF RYEGRASS (Lolium perenne) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Maninder Kaur Walia, M.S. Environment and Natural Resources Graduate Program The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Warren A. Dick, Advisor Rattan Lal Brian K. Slater Frederick C. Michel,Jr. Copyrighted by Maninder Kaur Walia 2015 Abstract Gypsum is a source of calcium and sulfur that improves the physical and chemical properties of the soil. With the benefits associated with gypsum use and the increased availability of synthetic gypsum, its application to soil in Ohio and the Midwest is increasing. Several studies have focused on the effect of gypsum on soil properties. However, little is known about how gypsum affects C stocks in soils. In this study, in addition to gypsum, we also treated the soil with glucose to create a high level of CO2 in the soil profile, and contrasted that with the more slowly released C from plant residues. The overall goal of this dissertation research was to evaluate the effect of plant residues, glucose and gypsum on the growth and nutrient uptake of ryegrass, chemical properties (including total and inorganic C stock) and physical properties of two contrasting soils in Ohio (Wooster silt loam and Hoytville clay loam). Specific objectives of this research were to quantify the effect of (1) gypsum and plant residues on greenhouse gas emissions, (2) gypsum and C amendments on quality of leachate water, (3) gypsum and C amendments addition on C fractions in soils, (4) gypsum, plant residues and glucose addition on soil fertility, growth and nutrients concentrations of ryegrass and (5) gypsum, glucose and plant residues on selected soil physical properties and aggregate-associated C and N.

Townsend May 2003 URL: http:llwww.recyclingtoday,com/arficles/article.asp?lD=4759&CafiD=&SubCatlD= Gypsum drywall is a major component of modern buildings, yet it is often one of the least likely components of debris frem building construction, demolition or renovation to be recycled. Gypsum drywall typically makes up 5 percent to 25 percent of the weight of debris from building-related C&D activities, A typical rule of thumb for drywall generation from construction activities is one pound of drywall per cubic foot of construction. The amount of post-consumer drywall generated in Florida C&D debris in 2000 was estimated at nearly 500,000 tons. Most of this was disposed in unlined landfills. Recovery and recycling is always desired in place of lend- filling when feasible, but several environmentel factors (odor, groundwater contamination) create added incentive for recycling d~JwalL While several gypsum drywall recycling operations exist in North America at the current time, in many areas (Florida for example) drywa!l recycling is relatively nonexistent. This paper describe~ some of the issues facing the C&D debris industry and summarizes the current state of gypsum drywall recycling in North America. DRYWALL BASICS Gypsum drywall, often referred to as gypsum wallbeard or sheet rock, replaced gypsum piaster as the major interior wall surface because of its ease of installation and its fire resistant properties. Gypsum drywal! consists of approximately 90 percent gypsum and 10 percent paper facing and backing. Gypsum is a mineral composed of calcium sulfate (CaSOL and water (H20).

  • Barite–Celestine Geochemistry and Environments of Formation Jeffrey S
    Barite–Celestine Geochemistry and Environments of Formation Jeffrey S. Hanor Department of Geology and Geophysics Louisiana State University Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70803 INTRODUCTION Minerals in the barite (BaSO4)–celestine (SrSO4) solid solution series, (Ba,Sr)SO4, occur in a remarkably diverse range of sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous geological environments which span geological time from the Early Archean (~3.5 Ga) to the present. The purpose of this chapter is to review: (1) the controls on the chemical and isotopic composition of barite and celestine and (2) the geological environments in which these minerals form. Some health risks are associated with barite, and these are discussed near the end of this chapter. Although complete solid solution exists between BaSO4 and SrSO4 most representa- tives of the series are either distinctly Ba-rich or Sr-rich. Hence, it is convenient to use the term barite to refer to not only the stochiometric BaSO4 endmember but also to those (Ba,Sr)SO4 solid solutions dominated by Ba. Similarly, the term celestine will refer here not only to the stoichiometric SrSO4 endmember but to solid solutions dominated by Sr. Such usage is in accord with standard mineral nomenclature. The Committee on Mineral Names and Nomenclature of the International Mineralogical Association recognizes “celestine” as the official name for SrSO4. However, the name “celestite” is still commonly used in the literature. Geological significance of barite and celestine Most of the barite which exists in the Earth’s crust has formed through the mixing of fluids, one containing Ba leached from silicate minerals, and the other an oxidized shallow fluid, such as seawater, which contains sulfate.

  • Replacement of Calcite by Gypsum R
    JOURNAL MINERALOGICAL SOCIET'' OF AXIERTCA 153 REPLACEMENT OF CALCITE BY GYPSUM R. E. R-r'rrcrn,Cornell Uni:tersity The writer was recently presented with some specimens of Tertiary fossil shells, which are interesting because they appear to represent a complete replacement of calcite by gypsum' The shells, whose structural features are well preserved, are mainly Vasum-like and, Ctabalithes-like forms. They were col- lected in Peru, South America, where they were found lying in the loose residual material derived from the weathering of a shale, and were distributed over a considerablearea. On superficial examination the specimensseemed to be normal calcareous shells; but closer study reveals occasional reflbcting surfaces of gypsum crystals on the surface of the shell as well as in the cavities of the same. An acid test shows only slight and much localized effervescence,leading one to the conclusionthat very little of the orisinal carbonate of lime remains. The shellshave retained practically their original shape and the surface irregularities are generally well preserved. Several of the specimens are unduly heavy due to the fact that the spiral cavities have been com- pletely filled with gypsum. Examination of thin sections of the shells under the microscope indicate quite clearly that gypsum has not only filled the shell cavities, but that the carbonateof lime of the shellitself has been almost completely replaced by that mineral. Some of the gypsum crystals in the cavities are quite large, several being noticet ftu! were six millimeters in diameter. The structure of the spiral shell is well outlined by a dark substance which appears to be limonite and around which the gypsum has formed.
