Gypsum can be added to bedding material to absorb moisture produced by animals housed in sheds. Gypsum has a chemical reaction with the animal's urine that locks up the ammonia in the urine to form ammonium sulphate. This reduces odour significantly and reduces the effects of the ammonia creating burning or marking on the animals.

Ammono-carbonation reaction of any kind of gypsum (pure, PG or FGD gypsum) with ammonium carbonate known as Merseburg Process is used to produce ammonium sulfate and calcium carbonate. This study ...
Ammonium sulfate is also produced from gypsum, which is calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO 4 • 2H 2 O), via the Haber process. This involves first converting natural gas (methane) into hydrogen, then reacting the hydrogen with nitrogen to produce ammonia, and finally, the ammonia is reacted with the gypsum to yield ammonium sulfate. ...
The present invention relates to a recycling method for producing, to a high purity of at least 95%, calcite and ammonium sulphate generated by means of a carbonation reaction for fixing carbon dioxide inside the crystal structure of a mineral, and, in the present invention, waste gypsum is reacted with carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas, such that the carbon dioxide is fixed …
