Design And Production Of Ceiling Board Using Plaster Of Paris (Pop) Gypsum Material         Chapter One 1.0     Introduction This project deals with the design and production of ceiling board using POP gypsum materials. Plaster of Paris (POP) which is calcium sulphate with half molecule of water of crystallization (CaSO 4 .1/2H 2 0)  and  hygroscopic characteristic obtained by duly  calcined the material that is Gypsum (CaSO 4 .2H 2 0). It possess an outstanding property of setting and subsequent hardening when mixed with water (Smith, 1896). Gypsum is basically the raw material require to manufacture Plaster of Paris. This is cleaned and washed for removal of impurities, dried in sunlight and then pulverized. Gypsum powder are calcined in a rotary drum calcinatory using light diesel oil/firewood/coal as fuel.
