- Reclaimed Gypsum is Blended With FGD/Synthetic Gypsum Process Quality is Successful Closed Loop Complete
- Mercury is a concern in synthetic gypsum because of the production process. One of the goals of this study was to see if there is a large difference between natural and synthetic gypsum. We’ve found that synthetic gypsum does have slightly higher mercury levels. In the last column you can see that natural-mined has the highest percentage below detection limit. Since the gypsum source of the demo board is unknown, we also wanted to compare that to new trim. The maximum is higher than new trim but the average is in the same range. In the end, all samples in this pilot are below allowable standard thresholds.
- Recent literature also shows higher levels for synthetic gypsum than for natural-mined. In these studies, the maximum is less than 1 ppm. An interesting idea is gypsum may lose mercury during wallboard production. In the EPA study, they found the mercury concentration of unprocessed gypsum to be 3.1 ppm, more than 3 times that of the processed gypsum in the Sanderson study. This idea is inconclusive though, due to the variety in the synthetic gypsum feedstock and the manufacturing processes.
- in order for wallboard recycling to go mainstream we need wallboard manufacturers to use some of the 4 million tons. “Until costs and legislation associated with the disposal of scrap gypsum in landfills becomes more restrictive, recycling will likely continue to remain a low priority within the industry”.
