Effect of Portland Cement on the Selected Properties of Flue Gas Desulfurization Gypsum-Based Plasters
Journal: Materials
Year: 2023

The introduction of the European Union's climate change legislation and the intended use of renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels will significantly reduce the production of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum used as the raw material for gypsum mortar plasters' production. This has forced mortar producers to look for alternative materials, including gypsum-cement composites. This work investigated the mechanical strength and linear extension of four gypsum-cement mortars with the g
