        Gypsum Rock to Gypsum Plaster

         

        By drying off some of the chemically combined water from the Gypsum rock, it is converted into gypsum plaster.

        First, the gypsum rock is ground and crushed in the mill to start the process. After that gypsum is heated up on a flat metal plate above a kiln. Heating the gypsum at 120°C for one-hour results in a hemihydrate (CaSO4.1⁄2H2O) – with three-quarters of the water removed.

        This Gypsum hemihydrate is known as Plaster of Paris.

        Prolonged heating for over several hours results in the creation of anhydrite with practically none of the chemically combined water left.

        Anhydrite sets more slowly and is a somewhat stronger plaster than hemihydrate, but it is with the downside of added production cost.

        In practice, a simple production system would most probably give a mixture of the hemihydrate and anhydrite phases.

        Most of the industrially produced commercial plaster today is Plaster of Paris. Gypsum plaster sets by chemically combining with water, where it forms solid calcium sulphate dihydrate.
