Process for converting FGD gypsum to ammonium sulfate and
A continuous countercurrent flow process for converting FGD gypsum to ammonium sulfate and calcium carbonate comprising the following steps: separating an aqueous slurry of FGD gypsum to result in a FGD gypsum liquid residue and a FGD gypsum cake; combining the FGD gypsum cake with an ammonium carbonate solution and an ammonium sulfate solution in a first reactor to chemically react and form an ammonium sulfate solution containing a precipitated calcium carbonate and a FGD gypsum remnant
