The regeneration of calcium oxide from gypsum is the interest of this research. Gypsum was converted to calcium oxide via a two-step process involving chemical and thermal reactions. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to analyse the samples to identify the samples. Laboratory grade gypsum (LG) and w...
