Abstract
This paper examines the effect of mechanical activation by impact and attrition milling in planetary and ball ring mills on the phase composition of gypsum. Partially dehydrated powders obtained without heat treatment contain up to 60–70% β-CaSO4 · 0.5H2O (impact milling) and up to 40–47% α-CaSO4 · 0.5H2O (attrition milling). On the addition of a set retarder (maleic acid + poly(vinyl alcohol)), such materials acquire high strength during hardening: up to 11–17 MPa in compression and 7–12 MPa in bending.
