Understanding Gypsum

Gypsum can also be produced by capturing ("scrubbing") sulfur from the emissions of factories and power plants to reduce pollution levels in exhaust gasses. This type of gypsum is called "flue gas desulfurization" (FGD) gypsum. Chemically, FGD gypsum is the same as mined gypsum.
