Abstract
FGD gypsum is evaluated as a possible partial or total substitute of natural gypsum for the control of cement setting. Extended laboratory and industrial scale trials in cement and concrete mixes were carried out. FGD gypsum after been dried presents an excellent performance compared with natural gypsum.
