Process for continuously calcining gypsum to low dispersed consistency stucco

摘要

Wet chemical gypsum cake may be directly fed to a continuous kettle calciner to produce a stucco having lowered dispersed consistency. Pre-drying of the chemical gypsum is eliminated and the thus produced stucco may be used in the formulation of building plasters and in gypsum wallboard manufacture that will use less fuel for drying excess gauging water.
