Gypsum is one of the products of sulfur dioxide recycling. The company is currently testing it to see if it can be used in concrete mixes. Early research showed that the material is free of hazardous substances and can be used in the manufacture of building materials.
EKATERINA AKHMADEEVA, Nornickel Director for Production Technology:
“The use of gypsum from Norilsk will allow us to reduce the cost of the global housing upgrade program. We will be able to cut our logistics costs.”
