Dating the gypsum quarrying Pottery found at the site conirms the observation made by Caton-hompson and Gardener (1934), indicating a strong presence during the Old Kingdom (especially 3rd to early 4th Dynasties) (El-Senussi 2006). his group of pottery dominates in most of the quarry area, as well as in the vessel workshops, suggesting peak ...
Gypsum is a naturally occurring mineral, and its extraction involves mining or quarrying activities. Extraction can disrupt ecosystems, destroy habitats, and cause soil erosion. The use of natural resources in gypsum production raises concerns about sustainability and conservation, further contributing to its classification as a non-green material.
This project profile summarizes a proposed gypsum quarrying and processing plant in Dejen Woreda, East Gojjam Zone, Amhara Region of Ethiopia. The project is promoted by Two A Brothers Trading PLC and involves quarrying gypsum rock from a 10 hectare site, extracting and processing it. The study found the market and technical feasibility to be promising. The plant …

The first recommendation refers to the need for harmonization between mining activities and the protection of the gypsum karst. Undoubtedly, the gypsum karst of Sorbas constitutes not only an area of environmental interest but it also accommodates mining interests, which bring positive benefits to the economy of the area.
Roman-period extractive sites in gypsum outcrops are very rare, and most have become very degraded by later weathering or quarrying activities. This paper describes, using laser scanning, photogrammetry and survey using a UAV-based survey, the uniquely well-preserved Roman-period gypsum quarry of Ca' Castellina (Northern Apennines, Italy).
The remains from gypsum quarrying and working, extraction of secondary stone resources for tools, and quarries targeting domestic utensils, collectively illustrate the interaction between man and the geological resources throughout the landscape, and illuminate the problem of delineating a small part of this landscape for preservation ...

Gypsum has been an important industrial mineral in Manitoba since 1901, with current gypsum quarrying activities significantly contributing to the cement and wallboard manufacturing industry in the province. The gypsum-based wallboard manufacturing company in Win-nipeg is the only one of its kind in Manitoba and has strong
Mining activities are a potentially important contributor to water contamination. Discussions in the literature on impacts of gypsum mining on water quality are not conclusive as they tend to be site specific and lack in details. This study sought to establish the impacts of gypsum extraction activities on water quality in Kajiado.
Eurogypsum's Vice-President Dr. Jörg Ertle commented on the needed supply of essential raw materials such as gypsum to address Europe's housing and climate policy challenges. He stressed the potential for biodiversity management during gypsum quarrying ... All EUROGYPSUM meetings and activities are conducted in strict compliance with ...
Quarrying Gypsum and Increasing Biodiversity 1. Quarrying Gypsum in Line with Nature The mineral Gypsum precipitated some 10-400 mil-lion years ago when sea water evaporated. From a chemical point of view, it is Calcium Sulphate Dihydrate (CaSO4.2H2O) deposited in sedimentary layers on the sea bed. Under high pressure and temperature or under high
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are a key component of dryland ecosystems worldwide. However, large extensions of biocrusts are disturbed by human activities, gypsum quarry being an outstanding example. Restoration techniques applied have offered satisfactory results for vascular plants but they could greatly differ in promoting biocrust recovery. A basic …
