Phosphogypsum and desulfurization gypsum are industrial solid wastes with the largest storage capacity,and transforming them into hemihydrate gypsum as building materials is the best way for resource recycle.The α-hemihydrates gypsum was obtained by autoclave method from different industrial gypsum including desulfurized gypsum(FGD),phospho-gypsum(PG)and natural gypsum(NG)as a control group.The effects of crystal modifiers including sodium dodecyl ben-zene sulfonate(SDBS),aluminum sulfate[Al2(SO4)3]and compound crystal modifier(CM)on the morphology and strength of α-hemihydrates gypsum were investigated.The results showed that under autoclaved pressure at 135℃ for 5 h,α-hemi-hydrate gypsum could be prepared by three types of gypsum stably,three types of crystal modifiers had no impact on the phase composition of hemihydrate gypsum.0.4%CM could reduce the aspect ratio of crystals effectively.Based on T-test,the crystal modifiers had significant enhancing effect on the compression strength of α-hemihydrate gypsum prepared from FGD and NG,which was increased by more than 2 times to 13.59 MPa and 17.45 MPa,respectively.However,the strength of α-hemihydrates gypsum prepared by PG had no obvious change by adding crystal modifiers.The results exhibited that 0.4%CM could reduce the aspect ratio of crystals and improved compressive and flexural strength significantly of α-hemihy-drates gypsum prepared from FGD and NG.The crystal modifier had no obvious impact on α-hemihydrates gypsum pre-pared from PG due to impurities.The results of the study provided a certain degree of theoretical guidance for the industrial production of different gypsum.
