Acid Leaching Technology for Post-Consumer Gypsum Purification Data

Miguel Castro‐Díaz from Loughborough University published this dataset containing analytical data for gypsum purification. It includes particle size distribution, scanning electron microscopy images, thermal gravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray fluorescence data for samples before and after acid leaching. The dataset supports the publication 'Acid leaching technology for post-consumer gypsum purification'.

Use Cases

• Training computer vision models for material characterization based on scanning electron microscopy images.
• Analyzing the efficiency of acid leaching purification based on thermal gravimetric analysis data.
• Comparing the composition of waste materials before and after treatment using X-ray fluorescence data.
• Studying particle size distribution changes in recycling feedstocks mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Includes multiple analytical techniques (SEM, TGA, XRD, XRF) providing a multi-faceted view of the material.
• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed scientific publication, providing context and validation.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
