In 1937, the first use of polymethyl methacrylate appeared as an esthetic denture base formed by injection molding a resin slug into a more or less dry gypsum mold holding porcelain artificial teeth. Not a very satisfactory technique, this was replaced by a predoughed, heat curable mixture of polymethyl methacrylate and methyl methacrylate monomer, called gel cake . 

Emissions control systems play an important role at most coal-fired power plants. For example, PC-fired plants sited in the United States require some type of sulfur dioxide control system to meet the regulations set forth in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, unless the boiler bums low sulfur coal or benefits from offsets from other highly controlled boilers within a given utiUty system. Flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) is most commonly accomphshed by the appHcation of either dry- or wet-limestone systems. Wet FGD systems, also referred to as wet scmbbers, are the most effective solution for large faciUties. Modem scmbbers can typically produce a saleable waUboard-quaUty gypsum as a by-product of the SO2 control process (see SULFURREMOVAL AND RECOVERY). 

In general, plants using SO2 gas derived from metallic sulfides, spent acids, or gypsum anhydrite purify the gas stream before drying it by cold, ie, wet, gas purification. Various equipment combinations including humidification towers, reverse jet scmbbers, packed gas cooling towers, impingement tray columns and electrostatic precipitators are used to clean the gas. 

OC-Hemihydrate. Three processing methods are used for the production of a-hemihydrate. One, developed in the 1930s, involves charging lump gypsum rock 1.3—5 cm in size into a vertical retort, sealing it, and applying steam at a pressure of 117 kPa (17 psi) and a temperature of about 123°C (6). After calcination under these conditions for 5—7 h the hot moist rock is quickly dried and pulverized. 

Calcined Anhydrite. Soluble anhydrite, or second-settle stucco, has physical properties similar to those of gypsum plaster. It hydrates to the dihydrate rapidly in water. Its outstanding property is its extreme affinity for any moisture, which makes it a very efficient drying agent (see Desiccants). In ambient moisture-laden air, it readily hydrates to hemihydrate. Soluble anhydrite, under the trade name Drierite, is widely used as a desiccant in the laboratory and in iadustry. A small amount is also used as an insecticide carrier. Small amounts of soluble anhydrite are unintentionally produced in most commercial calciners during hemihydrate production. 

Dental Stones. Dental stones, produced from gypsum, are sold as dry powders in sealed containers. They are prepared for use by mixing with water, in proportions recommended by the manufacturer.

Calcium sulfate hemihydrate []0034-76-1 j M 145.2. Sol in H2O (0.2 parts/100 at 18.75°). Completely dehydrated >650°. Dry below 300° to give a solid with estimated pore size ca 38% of vol. Anhydrous CaS04 has high affinity for H2O and will absorb 6.6% of its weight of H2O to form the hemihydrate (gypsum). It sets to a hard mass with H2O, hence should be kept in a tightly sealed container.
