There are five basic stages in gypsum processing: Excavation is sometimes carried out by digging out an area of ground where the gypsum is located using open-cast techniques. To reach deeper deposits drift or shaft mines may be needed. The drilling and digging equipment is applied to dig out the gypsum ore in excavation stages.
ContactFeb 17, 2021Gypsum mining in Iowa has been confined to two localities: One, in Webster County in the immediate vicinity of Fort Dodge, is slightly north and west of the center of the State; the other is at Centerville in Appanoose County in the southeastern part of the State (fig. 1). All currently active mines and plants in Iowa are in the Fort Dodge area.
ContactGypsum is a common mineral in Kansas. It is found in thick beds amid layers of sedimentary rocks, such as limestone, shale, and sandstone. Of the three varieties of gypsum—selenite, satin spar, and rock gypsum—Permian-age rock gypsum is mined in Barber County in south-central Kansas and in Marshall County in northeastern Kansas.
ContactIn 1898 William T. Powers began constructing a gypsum mine one hundred feet below the bed of the Grand River. The mine shaft was located at the most westerly span of the Blue Bridge, formerly the Grand sIndiana Railroad Bridge. Powers owned land on the west bank, extending from where the bridge crossed the river to the Sixth St. Bridge.
ContactGypsum is a non-metallic mineral, found in rock form. It is composed of 79.1% calcium sulphate and 20.9% water, by weight. Chemists call it Hydrous Calcium Sulphate, and as there is one molecule of calcium sulphate combined with two molecules of water. It has the chemical formula CaSO 4 2H 2 0.
ContactGypsum is a very soft mineral that is easily identified by its hardness, cleavage, and solubility in water. Typically clear to white, gypsum may be colored reddish to brown or yellow if impurities are present. Most gypsum occurs in its massive form, as layers of rock that often intercalate layers of shale, limestone, or dolostone.

ContactNov 15, 2017The Gypsum Mine was where they used to mine gypsum. Eventually the mine was closed. They turned this for trails and a lovely lake, where people swim in it, generally in the evening. Everyone we met, encouraged us to visit this abandoned mine. It was amazing. I liked the lake the most, especially since the sun was reflecting its rays on it.
