Extractions: Third Edition, 1993 by G. C. Adams, Introduction Uses of Gypsum and Anhydrite Nova Scotia's Resources History of Gypsum and Anhydrite Mining in Nova Scotia ... Natural Resources Home Page The word gypsum is derived from the Greek gypsos, meaning chalk. Anhydrite is merely gypsum without water. These minerals are formed through the evaporation of salt waters are frequently found interbedded with limestone, dolomite and shale. Deposits of gypsum and anhydrite are found worldwide on all continents with the possible exception of Antarctica. Back to Contents Approximately 75 per cent of the gypsum used in North America is calcined, meaning that three-quarters of the water has been removed by heating to form stucco or plaster of Paris. Calcined gypsum is one of the most common building materials in the world. It is used for interior wall partitions and ceilings, either as plaster or in prefabricated products. Regular wallboard and type-x wallboard with its fire-resistant characteristics make up over three-quarters of the market for calcined gypsum. Minor uses for calcined gypsum include dental plaster, modelling casts, moulds, surgical casts and drilling muds. Uncalcined gypsum and anhydrite are used in much the same way. After crushing and grinding, their principal use is as a set retarder for cement. When a small amount of gypsum or anhydrite is added to Portland cement, the set of the cement is slowed, but the tensile strength is not lessened. Another important use is in the agriculture industry where gypsum and anhydrite have a beneficial effect on many crops. They can decrease the salinity of salty soils, improve the permeability of clayey soils and provide sulphur, calcium and catalytic support in order to decrease fertilizer use and maximize crop production.

Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... H > Archdiocese of Halifax A B C D ... Z (HALIFAXIENSIS) Jesuits In 1801 Father Edmund Burke left Quebec to enter upon his useful work in Halifax, which at that time formed part of the Diocese of Quebec and so remained until it was made a vicariate in 1817. Father Burke was consecrated Vicar Apostolic of Nova Scotia in 1818, and filled the office until his death in 1820. It was not until 1827 that his successor, Rt. Rev. William Fraser, was appointed. The vicariate was erected into a diocese 15 Feb., 1842, and was called the Diocese of Halifax. It included the whole of Nova Scotia. In 1844 the diocese was divided; Bishop Fraser became Bishop of the new Diocese of Arichat; and Bishop WILLIAM WALSH, who had been Bishop Fraser's coadjutor, "with the right of succession", became Bishop of Halifax. In 1852 Halifax was made an archdiocese. Archbishop Walsh administered the affairs of his see until his death in 1858. He was scholarly and devout, and although at that time the feeling between Protestants and Catholics was occasionally somewhat bitter, the "British Colonist", a newspaper owned and edited by
