Reactivity of energy gypsum was investigated. The method is based on the conversion reaction of aqueous suspension of gypsum with ammonium carbonate solution. Rate of the conversion of all investigated samples, including gypsum originating from flue gas desulphurization (FGD), was high and 80 % conversion was achieved during one hour. It was found that there is a correlation between BET specific surface and the rate of the conversion reaction.
