You will have to use rather high temperatures (sources state 700°C - 1100°C) to decompose CaSO4 gypsum. "Thermal decomposition of gypsum into CaSO4 and H2O above approx: 140°C (413 K) into CaO and SO3 above approx: 700°C (1273 K)" from: Transmix ( http://www.transmix.co.uk/safety.htm ) Other sources state even higher temperatures required: "thermische Zersetzung ab ca. 1000°C in Calciumoxid und Schwefeltrioxid." thermal decomposition above appr. 1000 °C into CaO and SO3 ( http://www.chdb.de/anorganik/chemikalien/chemikalie_anorg_7778-18-9.htm ) (Translation by me) Same temperture range (above 1000° C) is given in ( http://ceramic-materials.com/cermat/material/834.html ) I hope this helps to solve your question. till-ga Search strategy: ( ://www.google.de/search?sourceid=navclient&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&rls=DVXA,DVXA:2005-05,DVXA:de&q=thermal+decomposition+casO4+so3 )  |
