Abstract

Natural or synthetic gypsum is reacted with quicklime in any desired proportions, the heat needed for the complete conversion of gypsum in plaster being supplied, on the one hand, by the exothermic reaction of hydration of the quicklime and, on the other hand, by an external supply of calories obtained by indirect heating of the reaction mixture. This indirect heating may be effected by convection and conduction or by radiation from a metallic wall.
