Flue-gas desuphurization (FGD) gypsum

I got quite a few google hits for this, but in all honesty I am a little out of my depth here.

'desuphurization' should of course read 'desulphuization'

Flue-gas desulphurisation (FGD) of power station emissions is the largest production method of gypsum used in plasterboard manufacture. The emission stacks of fossil fuel power stations incorporate ‘scrubbers’ which remove much of the sulphur from the waste gas, so reducing emissions of sulphur dioxide. The by-product of this process is gypsum. This gypsum is also sometimes referred to as desulphogypsum (DSG).
