Natural Gypsum is a soft sulfate mineral composed of Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate (CaSO₄·2H₂O). It is widely known for its versatility, purity, and eco-friendliness. Gypsum is one of the most commonly used minerals in construction, agriculture, and industry, making it a vital raw material worldwide.
Chemical Composition of Natural Gypsum
- Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate (CaSO₄·2H₂O): 90–95%
- Silica (SiO₂): 1–3%
- Alumina (Al₂O₃): < 1%
- Iron Oxide (Fe₂O₃): < 1%
- Minor traces: Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium
