Optimization of minor-LiCl-modified gypsum as an effective indoor moisture buffering material for sensitive and long-term humidity control

Zili Yang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of minor LiCl addition on the fundamental properties, hygroscopic performance, and moisture buffering ability of gypsum in daily and weekly humidity fluctuations. Results showed that minor addition of LiCl (1%-8%) significantly improves the gypsum board's properties and hygroscopic performance. The LiCl-modified composites can absorb and desorb moisture repeatedly without hysteresis. Modeling analysis demonstrates that these composites effectively control indoor humidity and achieve energy-saving effects. Based on the results, a LiCl-mixing-ratio of around 4% is proposed as the optimum, providing remarkable moisture buffering and energy-saving capabilities.
