We investigated practical methods of using recycled gypsum board paper in the paper industry. Gypsum board paper is used to produce construction gypsum board, and can be recycled through the recycling process of construction wastes. The experiments were carried out in two ways: One was the substitution of recycled gypsum board papers for KOCC, and the other was the use of recycled gypsum board paper powder. Recycled gypsum board paper was not disintegrated easily, but high temperature and the use of chemicals were able to improve their disintegration. The physical properties of handsheets made of the pulp of recycled gypsum board paper exhibited the same performance level as those made from KOCC except in the parameter of compressive strength. The powder of recycled gypsum board paper was manufactured using a grinder and handsheets were made with the powder and KOCC. The bulk was increased, but the strength properties were decreased by the addition of the powder.

Gypsum has been known as a prominent material for improving alkali soil, and this material can be supplied easily in large scale by recycling waste gypsum plasterboard from construction and demolition sites in advanced countries. In April 2000, in the part of western Jilin Province in China, where alkali soil spread vastly, we conducted a cultivating experiment of corn and rice after treating with granule recycled waste gypsum at six alkali soil fields which total area were 14000$m^2$. We confirmed that pH of soil decreased in a short period and alkali soil changed soft a desirable condition for farm work, and furthermore, gypsum caused to accelerate the growth of a plant, both corn and rice.

The use of recycled aggregate, even for low-performance concrete, has been very limited because recycled aggregate, which contains a large amount of old mortar, is very low in quality. To produce a high-quality recycled aggregate, removing the paste that adheres to the recycled aggregate is very important. We have conducted research on a complex abrasion method, which removes the component of cement paste from recycled fine aggregate by using both a low-speed wet abrasion crusher as a mechanical process and neutralization as chemical processes, and well as research on the optimal manufacturing condition of recycled fine aggregates. Subsequently, we evaluated the quality of recycled fine aggregate manufactured using these methods, and tested the specimen made by this aggregate. As a result, it was found that recycled fine aggregates produced by considering the aforementioned optimal abrasion condition with the use of sulfuric acid as reactant showed excellent quality, recording a dry density of 2.4 and an absorption ratio of 2.94. Furthermore, it was discovered that gypsum, which is a reaction product occurring in the process, did not significantly affect the quality of aggregates. Furthermore, the test of mortar using this aggregate, when gypsum was included as a reaction product, showed no obvious retarding effect. However, the test sample containing gypsum recorded a long-term strength of 25.7MPa, whereas the test sample that did not contain gypsum posted a long-term strength of 29.4MPa. Thus, it is thought to be necessary to conduct additional research into the soundness and durability because it showed a clear reduction of strength.

To improve the utilization rate of construction waste as mine backfilling materials, this paper investigated the feasibility of using recycled powder as mine paste backfilling cementitious material, and studied the pozzolanic activity of recycled construction waste powder. In this study, alkali-calcium-sulfur served as the activation principle and an orthogonal test plan was performed to analyze the impact of the early strength agent, quick lime, and gypsum on the pozzolanic activity of the recycled powder. Our results indicated that in descending order, early strength agent > quick lime > gypsum affected the strength of the backfilling paste with recycled powder as a cementitious material during early phases. The strength during late phases was affected by, in descending order, quick lime > gypsum > early strength agent. Using setting time and early compressive strength as an analysis index as well as an extreme difference analysis, it was found that the optimal ratio of recycled powder cementitious material for mine paste backfilling was recycled powder:quick lime:gypsum:early strength agent at 78%:10%:8%:4%. X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscope were used to show that the hydration products of recycled powder cementitious material at the initial stages were mainly CH and ettringite. As hydration time increased, more and more recycled powder was activated. It mainly became calcium silicate hydrate, calcium aluminate hydrate, etc. In summary, recycled powder exhibited potential pozzolanic activities. When activated, it could replace cementitious materials to be used in mine backfill.

In this study, industrial by-products including blast furnace slag, incineration ash and waste gypsum were used with recycled fine aggregates to manufacture the zero-cement mortar.The replacement ratio of dihydrate gypsum and anhydrite gypsum was fixed as 0 and 10%, the replacement ratio fo WA1 was fixed as 0.5% and 1.0%, respectively. It could be identified that when the replacement of gypsum was 10% and WA1 of 1.0%, the strength could be in the range of normal strength.

In this study, industrial by-products including blast furnace slag, incineration ash and waste gypsum were used with recycled fine aggregates to manufacture the zero-cement mortar. The replacement ratio of anhydrite gypsum was fixed as 0, 10%, 20% the replacement ratio fo WA1 was fixed as 0.5% and 1.0%, respectively. It could be identified that when the replacement of gypsum was 20% and WA1 of 1.0%, the strength could be in the range of normal strength.

This study is analysis of effect of binder types and replacement ratio on the properties of blast furnace slag mortar using the recycled fine aggregates. The results of the study were was follows. Compressive strength was increased according to an increase in replacement ratio of fine particle cement and gypsum. Absorption was reduced according to an increase in replacement ratio of fine particle cement and recycled aggregate fine powder.

We were tried to draw a conclusions related to additive amount of gypsum in blast furnace slag in the study. In the result, fluidity of concrete decreased with an increase of gypsum and was not satisfied with KS standard in the cases of natural gypsum and limestone sludge more than 2.6% addition. Early compressive strength of concrete containing desulfurized gypsum, fluosilicic acid gypsum and phosphoric acid gypsum were improved respectively but calcined lime sludge and lime powder were not influenced on strength. If available, additive gypsum should be managed less than 2.0% owing to low fluidity. In low temperature, fluosilicic acid gypsum was to advantages on the fluidity while desulfurized gypsum was in high temperature. There also are conclusions that additive gypsum was to be 2.6% in winter and in summer; it's to be fewer than 2.6%.

Nowadays, research about using recycled aggregate as alkali activator has been investigated. By the mechanism of Alkali activation, blast furnace slag's potential hydraulis property would be activated. Thee application of this technique is considered as fit for low strength concrete, so it's suitable in concrete secondary production such as bricks and blocks. Aside alkali activator, sulfate could also activate blast furnace slag's potential hydranlis property. In this research, gypsum(CaSO4·2H2O)has been added with blast furnace slag. Fundamental experiment such as flow and strength has been tested to evalnate effect of gypsum's activation property.

The aim of the research is providing the application method of recycled materials to manufacture the low costed eco-friend block at currently operated concrete block plant. In this research, based on the previous research results on three types of slag cement with illite, desulfurized gypsum, and wasted refractory products, the actual block product was manufactured by the currently operated plant facility and evaluated their properties to suggest the optimal proportions. As an experimental results, in aspect of compressive strength, absorption ratio, freezing resistance, and pH, type III slag incorporating 5% desulfurized gypsum with 1% replaced illite as an aggregate could be suggested as am optimal proportion. In additionally, considering the high cost of the illite, it can be considered as an optimal proportion that type III slag incorporating 5% desulfurized gypsum for binder.
