The invention discloses a method for preparing alpha-type high-strength
gypsum powder. The method comprises the steps: A, preparing a base material, cleaning,
drying and classifying natural
gypsum ore to be placed into a storage, and breaking
gypsum blocks, wherein the content of
crystal water >=19%, and the grade of dihydrate gypsum >=96%; B, stacking the gypsum blocks into charging baskets in a layering mode, using a travelling crane for lifting the charging baskets into still kettles, fixing the charging baskets, and closing kettle covers, wherein two charging baskets are arranged in each kettle; adjusting
intake pressure of the still kettles, heating materials inside the kettles, exhausting
cold air inside the kettles, and starting to conduct steam pressing; C, after the steam pressing is completed,
drying the materials inside the same kettle, conducting
steaming into heating pipes, and conducting
drying; D, conducting slot-type discharging, conducting
grinding, and conducting packaging to obtain the alpha-type high-strength gypsum
powder. The method is easy to implement and convenient to operate, the labor intensity of workers is greatly reduced, and the production cost is reduced. The alpha-type high-strength gypsum
powder produced by the process is high in strength, high in hydration speed, beneficial to saving the stripping time, and capable of being produced in a large-scale mode.
