Recycling of Industrial Waste Gypsum Using Mineral …
Waste gypsum, among the industrial wastes, has a high calcium (Ca) content; therefore, it has good evaluation potential for CO 2 capture. In the case of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum, the flue gas of the power plant can be used directly, and desulfurized gypsum, the starting material, can be continuously supplied.

FGD Gypsum Production Process – Gypsum Association
FGD Gypsum Production Process. Mineralogically identical to natural gypsum, FGD gypsum, or synthetic gypsum, is produced from gas captured within emission control systems at coal fired electric utilities. An emission that would compromise air quality, sulfur dioxide (SO 2) gas, is the primary contribution coal makes to FGD gypsum.
