Processing of gypsum

Principle

Burnt gypsum can be cured by adding water and is used as a building material. This process is based on the absorption of water and of the consequent reformation of crystalline structures. In this experiment calcined gypsum is hardened by adding water and examined and proofed that gypsum can be used as building material. During the reaction temperature change can be observed.
