Cement mill Wikipedia
Temperature control Heat generated in the grinding process causes gypsum (CaSO 4 .2H 2 O) to lose water, forming bassanite (CaSO 4 . 2 O) or γanhydrite (CaSO 4 .~ 2 O). The latter minerals are rapidly soluble, and about 2% of these in cement is needed to control tricalcium aluminate hydration.
