Abstract
Plaster of Paris (POP) is an important building material. Most of the units producing POP are in small scale sector. These units use
wood, coal to calcine gypsum. The average consumption of wood to produce one ton of POP is 300kg. The electrical energy constitutes
only 5% while rest is thermal energy. Most of POP units are situated in western Rajasthan. This region has about 300-320 days of clear
sun shine. Since thermal energy has major contribution in energy mix, it makes sense to supplement the same with concentrated solar
technology. Experiments were conducted to establish feasibility. A commercial parabolic concentrator of 4 sqm was used to calcine
small samples (5kg) and the result show great promise. An industrial method of producing POP using commercially available solar
concentrator technologies (CST) has been proposed. The payback period is observed to be of the order of 4 years.
Keywords: Gypsum, Plaster of Paris, Solar energy, Scheffler reflector, parabolic concentrator

1. INTRODUCTION
Plaster of Paris (POP) is chemically hemihydrates of calcium
sulfate (Ca SO41/2 H2O). It is produced by calcination / heating
of gypsum, a di-hydrate of caocium sulfate (Ca SO42 H2O). It
has applications in construction industry, ceramic industry,
sculptures, chalk pieces, medical (dental and surgical) etc. Most
of the units producing POPs are in small scale sector with
capacity ranging 10-20 T/D, only a small number of units are in
large scale sector 100-200T/D.
The POP units use both thermal (wood, coal and diesel) and
electrical energy for the production of POP(Plaster Of
Paris).The electricity consumption is only 5% of total energy
used thus the cost of producing POP depends on the cost of
thermal energy, which is increasing every month. On an average
a rotary kiln calciner uses about 300 kg of wood per ton [1].The
monthly average energy consumption is of the order of 15000
kWh per ton. Since energy used is in thermal form, it makes
sense to use concentrating solar power technology to generate
required process heat. Maximum numbers of POP
manufacturing units are based in western Rajasthan. This region
has clear sun shine for about 300-320 days in a year. Solar
resource map show that this region receives more than 6 kWh
per day, which shows suitability of the site. The Indian CST
industry has developed good expertise to tap the solar thermal
energy with 40 to 70% efficiency, using tracking type
concentrators.
If we assume efficiency of collection as 60% then each meter
square of concentrator will generate around 4 kWh in a day with
dual axis true parabolic concentrators. Even a fixed focus
Scheffler dish can generate about 40 kwh in a day. Salman and
Khraishi [2] studied the decomposition of lime and gypsum
using solar energy. Narendra et al [3] proposed use of solar
energy in calcining gypsum, however, actual experiments were
simulated with electrical energy. Present paper reports results of
experiments done to calcine gypsum for production of POP
using a commercial parabolic solar concentrator of 4 sqm and a
proposed commercial method for production of POP using solar
thermal energy.
2. PLASTER OF PARIS; REVIEW OF
MANUFACTURING PROCESSES
The gypsum is a mineral available all over the world, it is also
produced as a byproduct of fertilizer industry. In India the largest
deposits are in Rajasthan followed by Tamilnadu, Jammu,
Gujrat ,UP, MP and West Bengal. The gypsum is used in the
manufacture of hydraulic cements, ammonium sulfate fertilizer,
sulphuric acid, and reclamation of acidic soil for agricultural
purpose. Chemically gypsum is CaSO4. 2H2O , and has a
molecular weight of 177.17
2.1 Plaster of Paris
The plaster of Paris, is a white binder produced from gypsum by
removing water of crystallization .This is done by heating the
raw gypsum at temperatures of the order of 120-180℃. This
removal of water is described by equation[1]
CaSO4. 2H2O + ∆H → βCaSO4.

2.1.1 Manufacturing Processes for Plaster of Paris
Gypsum as such does not possess binding properties. Industrial
importance of gypsum is attributed to production of
hemi–hydrate, obtained by heating gypsum to temperature in the
range 120-180℃. Gypsum plaster is manufactured in different
grades like medical, building and pottery grades. The production
of different grades needs controlling calcining parameters. There
are many methods of manufacturing POP. Some commonly used
techniques are discussed.
2.2 Gypsum Calciners
2.2.1 Rotary Drum Calciner
The rotary drum calciners are horizantal drums, made up of mild
steel.These rotates along a horizontal shaft at slow speed of
10-12 rpm.The capacity of drum is about one ton.The batch time
varies from 1 hour to 4 hours. The time depends on quality of
desired product and end use of product .The drum is heated from
bottom by fire wood. On the average 300 kg of wood is used to
calcine one ton of gypsum[1].The dried gypsum powder is
loaded manually.Dust emission occurs during loading un
loading and during rotation of drum, steam is ejected,and along
with steam dust is also emitted This emission of dust causes loss
of heat.In this system heat from flue gases is not recovered, and
the process emits CO and particulate matter, mostly carbon.
2.2.2 Pan Type Calciners
The Pan type calciners are stationary vertical cylindrical drums.
Powdered gypsum is loaded manually. In earlier models they
were heated by fire wood. In this process material is heated in
two stages: pre-heat chamber (where it is heated up to
80-100℃ through flue gases of main chamber) and in the main
chamber the charge is heated up to desired temperature of 180℃
for 3-4 hours .Batch capacity of these calciners is 600-800kg.
The CBRI has suggested [3] a double walled cylindrical
calciner. The gypsum is heated by circulating hot thermic fluid
in outer shell. The powdered material is gently agitated by a
pedal agitator.
2.2.3 Kettle Calciner
These are the continuous type of calciners used in large scale
unit producing POP at the rates 10-12 T/hour. The temperature
of calciner is about 160℃ − 180℃. The amount of heating oil
used is about 28-32 liters/ton. Loading and un- loading is done
automatically. Heat from flue gases is recovered.
2.2.4 Fluidized Bed Technique of Producing POP
2.2.4.1 Principle of working
The main principle of drying system using fluidized technique is
to fluidize the powdered gypsum by a root blower blowing hot
air from bottom of the boiling furnace body. The chamber is
heated by delicate and intensive net work of steel pipes. A heat
conductive oil/steam is circulated in these coils; this circulating
fluid releases the heat into the inside of furnace. There is a roots
blower under the bottom of boiling furnace, and it blows hot air
into the furnace, until powder is in boiling status. Under a certain
temperature, the dried and dehydrated powder becomes lighter,
and gets carried away with hot air automatically. The quality of
this kind of gypsum powder is stable, because the equipment
adopts dried electrostatic dust remover, so the dust-removing
efficiency is above 95%. The fluidized bed technique there are
no moving parts.
2.3 Energy Used In Calcining Gypsum.
Thermodynmic calculation predict [1] that 166 kWh is needed to
calcine one ton gypsum. Different calciners have different
energy efficiency. The rotary calciner is most in efficient in
terms of heat utilization, besides it emits large amount of dust
and smoke .The Pan type calciner suggested by CBRI uses
thermic fluid for heating, It appears that the most efficient
technique is fluidized technique. In this both thermic fluid and
steam can be used to heat the charge to required temperature.
The systems using steam are comparatively less efficient in
comparison to the thermic fluid. To minimize the capital cost of
solar concentrating system the most efficient method of
calcination must be tied up with such systems.
3. EXPERIMENTAL FEASIBILITY OF USING
SOLAR ENERGY TO PRODUCE POP
To test the feasibility of using solar heat for calcination of
gypsum was carried out in December 2012. Experiments were
conducted at hotel Gaj Kesri Bikaner using their parabolic solar
cooker, PRINCE-40, a model developed by PRINCE group.
This cooker can cook 5 kg rice in an hour. Gypsum was
powdered and placed in a household pressure cooker with
blackened bottom. After about 5 minutes steam started coming
out from top of cooker, indicating starting of dehydration
process. The cooker was frequently shaken to homogenize the
product. In around 30 minutes steam stopped coming out
signaling end of dehydration. The pressure cooker was removed,
and allowed to cool. The product was tested for setting time and
whiteness. It took around 13 minutes for setting the plaster. The
whiteness was the best for product obtained from selinite
crystals. The experiment was repeated many times using gypsum
from open cast mines and crystalline form, giving almost similar
results. The experiments conclusively proved that solar
concentrators can be a feasible technology for dehydrating
gypsum.
3.1 Solar Concentrator Technologies for Producing
POP
Having proved the experimental feasibility of calcining gypsum,
the next task is to determine what kind of CST can be used?
Since the initial cost of CST is high it is necessary to use most
efficient calcining process. This rules out direct heating system

employed in rotary kiln. Using thermodynamic calculation as a
guide we attempt to select a CPT and determine its economic
viability.
As mentioned in section 2.1 around 170kWh are required [1] to
calcine one ton gypsum. This energy has to be supplied either by
steam generated or by thermic heated by a CST. The heating by
steam is less efficient compared to system based on thermic
fluid.
There are a number of CSTs available commercially. Some of
these show excellent potential for adoption for this application.
Some of these are discussed herewith.
3.1.1 Scheffler reflector
These are flexible surface paraboloidal dishes and have fixed
focus. It has a polar axis tracking for day movement while
seasonal movement is required once in 3-4 days. The geometry
of the parabola changes as per seasonal adjustment. Most
common size of Scheffler concentrator at present is of 16 square
meters. Many steam systems have been installed by Gadhia
solar[5] for cooking at Bhram kumara Ashram, Abu, Rajasthan,
Tirumala temple Andhra Pradesh, Shirdi Sai temple Maharashtra
etc. There are known 95 sites till 2011 and many more are added
every year. . The total energy produced by these dishes for eight
hour in a day is about 37840kcal i.e. @ 41.63 kWh [2]. In
western Rajasthan one can anticipate the output in the range of
45-50 kWh because of higher insolation.
3.2 System Design Calculations
For production of one ton of POP the energy required as per
equation 1 is 170kWh. Assuming each dish produces 48 kWh
per day in Bikaner, the number of Scheffler dishes needed would
be 29 say 30 dishes. Govt. of India provides subsidies for
adoption of these technologies in the range of 30 to 40%. In
addition 80% accelerated depreciation is allowed which turns
out to be 24% cash inflow in first year. The cost per dish is Rs.
3.00 lakh and with subsidy the cost will be in the range of Rs. 1.5
to 2 lakhs. Hence the project cost will be Rs. 45 to 60 lakhs
depending on the financial incentives availed. Cost of firewood
is at Rs. 4000/- per ton and at firewood consumption of 300 kg
per ton of POP, the industry spends around Rs 1200/ton on
firewood. In a 8 ton/day factory fuel cost would be Rs 9600/-,
which amounts to Rs. 30 lakhs per year for 320 days operation.
Thus the cost of project can be recovered in less than two years.
If we assume cost of installing energy efficient system to be 50
lakhs, another 2 years would be needed to recover this cost.
These dishes can also be used to generate hot air for use in
heating fluidized furnaces.
3.3 Dual Axis Tracked Parabolic Dish Concentrators.
These parabolic systems employ duel axis sum tracking. They
are the choice for heating thermic fluid to the temperatures
needed in fluidized bed calciners. Mr. Prashant CEO of Vinayak
Gypsum, Mumbai, a firm specializing in manufacturing
fluidized bed drier quotes the requirement of thermic oil heated
to a temperature of 250℃. Such high temperature cannot be
achieved by Scheffler dishes and it is necessary to use dual axis
tracked parabolic dishes. In India at present two options are
available as ARUN dishes in 100 and 169 sqm while Megawatt
dishes in 90 sqm [7]. In both the cases a system delivering 40000
kcal/hour systems would cost around 22 lakh. Considering the
subsidies of MNRE and accelerated benefits as in case of
Scheffler dishes, the economics work out is similar with payback
period of around 2 years with financial incentives and up to 4
years if financial incentives are not used.
CONCLUSIONS
Gypsum has been calcined using commercial parabolic cooker
having diameter of 4 sqm. An industrial plant for producing
plaster of Paris has been proposed using commercially available
solar concentrators. The payback time has been estimated to be
of the order of 2 to 4 years.

Production of plaster of paris using solar energy

  • 1. IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology ISSN: 2319-1163 __________________________________________________________________________________________ Volume: 02 Issue: 04 | Apr-2013, Available @ http://www.ijret.org 516 PRODUCTION OF PLASTER OF PARIS USING SOLAR ENERGY H.N. Acharya1 , Ajay Chandak2 1 Former Professor and head department of physics, Indian Institute of Technology Khararpur, 2 PRINCE, Suman Foundation, Shamgiri, Agra Road, Deopur, DHULE harnarayan@gmail.com, renewable.india@gmail.com Abstract Plaster of Paris (POP) is an important building material. Most of the units producing POP are in small scale sector. These units use wood, coal to calcine gypsum. The average consumption of wood to produce one ton of POP is 300kg. The electrical energy constitutes only 5% while rest is thermal energy. Most of POP units are situated in western Rajasthan. This region has about 300-320 days of clear sun shine. Since thermal energy has major contribution in energy mix, it makes sense to supplement the same with concentrated solar technology. Experiments were conducted to establish feasibility. A commercial parabolic concentrator of 4 sqm was used to calcine small samples (5kg) and the result show great promise. An industrial method of producing POP using commercially available solar concentrator technologies (CST) has been proposed. The payback period is observed to be of the order of 4 years. Keywords: Gypsum, Plaster of Paris, Solar energy, Scheffler reflector, parabolic concentrator ---------------------------------------------------------------------***------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION Plaster of Paris (POP) is chemically hemihydrates of calcium sulfate (Ca SO41/2 H2O). It is produced by calcination / heating of gypsum, a di-hydrate of caocium sulfate (Ca SO42 H2O). It has applications in construction industry, ceramic industry, sculptures, chalk pieces, medical (dental and surgical) etc. Most of the units producing POPs are in small scale sector with capacity ranging 10-20 T/D, only a small number of units are in large scale sector 100-200T/D. The POP units use both thermal (wood, coal and diesel) and electrical energy for the production of POP(Plaster Of Paris).The electricity consumption is only 5% of total energy used thus the cost of producing POP depends on the cost of thermal energy, which is increasing every month. On an average a rotary kiln calciner uses about 300 kg of wood per ton [1].The monthly average energy consumption is of the order of 15000 kWh per ton. Since energy used is in thermal form, it makes sense to use concentrating solar power technology to generate required process heat. Maximum numbers of POP manufacturing units are based in western Rajasthan. This region has clear sun shine for about 300-320 days in a year. Solar resource map show that this region receives more than 6 kWh per day, which shows suitability of the site. The Indian CST industry has developed good expertise to tap the solar thermal energy with 40 to 70% efficiency, using tracking type concentrators. If we assume efficiency of collection as 60% then each meter square of concentrator will generate around 4 kWh in a day with dual axis true parabolic concentrators. Even a fixed focus Scheffler dish can generate about 40 kwh in a day. Salman and Khraishi [2] studied the decomposition of lime and gypsum using solar energy. Narendra et al [3] proposed use of solar energy in calcining gypsum, however, actual experiments were simulated with electrical energy. Present paper reports results of experiments done to calcine gypsum for production of POP using a commercial parabolic solar concentrator of 4 sqm and a proposed commercial method for production of POP using solar thermal energy. 2. PLASTER OF PARIS; REVIEW OF MANUFACTURING PROCESSES The gypsum is a mineral available all over the world, it is also produced as a byproduct of fertilizer industry. In India the largest deposits are in Rajasthan followed by Tamilnadu, Jammu, Gujrat ,UP, MP and West Bengal. The gypsum is used in the manufacture of hydraulic cements, ammonium sulfate fertilizer, sulphuric acid, and reclamation of acidic soil for agricultural purpose. Chemically gypsum is CaSO4. 2H2O , and has a molecular weight of 177.17 2.1 Plaster of Paris The plaster of Paris, is a white binder produced from gypsum by removing water of crystallization .This is done by heating the raw gypsum at temperatures of the order of 120-180℃. This removal of water is described by equation[1] CaSO4. 2H2O + ∆H → βCaSO4. 1 2 H2O + 3 2 H2O (1) ∆H = 597,200kJ/ton=142,600kcal/T=165.9kWh/T
  • 2. IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology ISSN: 2319-1163 __________________________________________________________________________________________ Volume: 02 Issue: 04 | Apr-2013, Available @ http://www.ijret.org 517 2.1.1 Manufacturing Processes for Plaster of Paris Gypsum as such does not possess binding properties. Industrial importance of gypsum is attributed to production of hemi–hydrate, obtained by heating gypsum to temperature in the range 120-180℃. Gypsum plaster is manufactured in different grades like medical, building and pottery grades. The production of different grades needs controlling calcining parameters. There are many methods of manufacturing POP. Some commonly used techniques are discussed. 2.2 Gypsum Calciners 2.2.1 Rotary Drum Calciner The rotary drum calciners are horizantal drums, made up of mild steel.These rotates along a horizontal shaft at slow speed of 10-12 rpm.The capacity of drum is about one ton.The batch time varies from 1 hour to 4 hours. The time depends on quality of desired product and end use of product .The drum is heated from bottom by fire wood. On the average 300 kg of wood is used to calcine one ton of gypsum[1].The dried gypsum powder is loaded manually.Dust emission occurs during loading un loading and during rotation of drum, steam is ejected,and along with steam dust is also emitted This emission of dust causes loss of heat.In this system heat from flue gases is not recovered, and the process emits CO and particulate matter, mostly carbon. 2.2.2 Pan Type Calciners The Pan type calciners are stationary vertical cylindrical drums. Powdered gypsum is loaded manually. In earlier models they were heated by fire wood. In this process material is heated in two stages: pre-heat chamber (where it is heated up to 80-100℃ through flue gases of main chamber) and in the main chamber the charge is heated up to desired temperature of 180℃ for 3-4 hours .Batch capacity of these calciners is 600-800kg. The CBRI has suggested [3] a double walled cylindrical calciner. The gypsum is heated by circulating hot thermic fluid in outer shell. The powdered material is gently agitated by a pedal agitator. 2.2.3 Kettle Calciner These are the continuous type of calciners used in large scale unit producing POP at the rates 10-12 T/hour. The temperature of calciner is about 160℃ − 180℃. The amount of heating oil used is about 28-32 liters/ton. Loading and un- loading is done automatically. Heat from flue gases is recovered. 2.2.4 Fluidized Bed Technique of Producing POP 2.2.4.1 Principle of working The main principle of drying system using fluidized technique is to fluidize the powdered gypsum by a root blower blowing hot air from bottom of the boiling furnace body. The chamber is heated by delicate and intensive net work of steel pipes. A heat conductive oil/steam is circulated in these coils; this circulating fluid releases the heat into the inside of furnace. There is a roots blower under the bottom of boiling furnace, and it blows hot air into the furnace, until powder is in boiling status. Under a certain temperature, the dried and dehydrated powder becomes lighter, and gets carried away with hot air automatically. The quality of this kind of gypsum powder is stable, because the equipment adopts dried electrostatic dust remover, so the dust-removing efficiency is above 95%. The fluidized bed technique there are no moving parts. 2.3 Energy Used In Calcining Gypsum. Thermodynmic calculation predict [1] that 166 kWh is needed to calcine one ton gypsum. Different calciners have different energy efficiency. The rotary calciner is most in efficient in terms of heat utilization, besides it emits large amount of dust and smoke .The Pan type calciner suggested by CBRI uses thermic fluid for heating, It appears that the most efficient technique is fluidized technique. In this both thermic fluid and steam can be used to heat the charge to required temperature. The systems using steam are comparatively less efficient in comparison to the thermic fluid. To minimize the capital cost of solar concentrating system the most efficient method of calcination must be tied up with such systems. 3. EXPERIMENTAL FEASIBILITY OF USING SOLAR ENERGY TO PRODUCE POP To test the feasibility of using solar heat for calcination of gypsum was carried out in December 2012. Experiments were conducted at hotel Gaj Kesri Bikaner using their parabolic solar cooker, PRINCE-40, a model developed by PRINCE group. This cooker can cook 5 kg rice in an hour. Gypsum was powdered and placed in a household pressure cooker with blackened bottom. After about 5 minutes steam started coming out from top of cooker, indicating starting of dehydration process. The cooker was frequently shaken to homogenize the product. In around 30 minutes steam stopped coming out signaling end of dehydration. The pressure cooker was removed, and allowed to cool. The product was tested for setting time and whiteness. It took around 13 minutes for setting the plaster. The whiteness was the best for product obtained from selinite crystals. The experiment was repeated many times using gypsum from open cast mines and crystalline form, giving almost similar results. The experiments conclusively proved that solar concentrators can be a feasible technology for dehydrating gypsum. 3.1 Solar Concentrator Technologies for Producing POP Having proved the experimental feasibility of calcining gypsum, the next task is to determine what kind of CST can be used? Since the initial cost of CST is high it is necessary to use most efficient calcining process. This rules out direct heating system

Using thermodynamic calculation as a guide we attempt to select a CPT and determine its economic viability. As mentioned in section 2.1 around 170kWh are required [1] to calcine one ton gypsum. This energy has to be supplied either by steam generated or by thermic heated by a CST. The heating by steam is less efficient compared to system based on thermic fluid. There are a number of CSTs available commercially. Some of these show excellent potential for adoption for this application. Some of these are discussed herewith. 3.1.1 Scheffler reflector These are flexible surface paraboloidal dishes and have fixed focus. It has a polar axis tracking for day movement while seasonal movement is required once in 3-4 days. The geometry of the parabola changes as per seasonal adjustment. Most common size of Scheffler concentrator at present is of 16 square meters. Many steam systems have been installed by Gadhia solar[5] for cooking at Bhram kumara Ashram, Abu, Rajasthan, Tirumala temple Andhra Pradesh, Shirdi Sai temple Maharashtra etc. There are known 95 sites till 2011 and many more are added every year. . The total energy produced by these dishes for eight hour in a day is about 37840kcal i.e. @ 41.63 kWh [2]. In western Rajasthan one can anticipate the output in the range of 45-50 kWh because of higher insolation. 3.2 System Design Calculations For production of one ton of POP the energy required as per equation 1 is 170kWh. Assuming each dish produces 48 kWh per day in Bikaner, the number of Scheffler dishes needed would be 29 say 30 dishes. Govt. of India provides subsidies for adoption of these technologies in the range of 30 to 40%. In addition 80% accelerated depreciation is allowed which turns out to be 24% cash inflow in first year. The cost per dish is Rs. 3.00 lakh and with subsidy the cost will be in the range of Rs. 1.5 to 2 lakhs. Hence the project cost will be Rs. 45 to 60 lakhs depending on the financial incentives availed. Cost of firewood is at Rs. 4000/- per ton and at firewood consumption of 300 kg per ton of POP, the industry spends around Rs 1200/ton on firewood. In a 8 ton/day factory fuel cost would be Rs 9600/-, which amounts to Rs. 30 lakhs per year for 320 days operation. Thus the cost of project can be recovered in less than two years. If we assume cost of installing energy efficient system to be 50 lakhs, another 2 years would be needed to recover this cost. These dishes can also be used to generate hot air for use in heating fluidized furnaces. 3.3 Dual Axis Tracked Parabolic Dish Concentrators. These parabolic systems employ duel axis sum tracking. They are the choice for heating thermic fluid to the temperatures needed in fluidized bed calciners. Mr. Prashant CEO of Vinayak Gypsum, Mumbai, a firm specializing in manufacturing fluidized bed drier quotes the requirement of thermic oil heated to a temperature of 250℃. Such high temperature cannot be achieved by Scheffler dishes and it is necessary to use dual axis tracked parabolic dishes. In India at present two options are available as ARUN dishes in 100 and 169 sqm while Megawatt dishes in 90 sqm [7]. In both the cases a system delivering 40000 kcal/hour systems would cost around 22 lakh. Considering the subsidies of MNRE and accelerated benefits as in case of Scheffler dishes, the economics work out is similar with payback period of around 2 years with financial incentives and up to 4 years if financial incentives are not used. CONCLUSIONS Gypsum has been calcined using commercial parabolic cooker having diameter of 4 sqm. An industrial plant for producing plaster of Paris has been proposed using commercially available solar concentrators. The payback time has been estimated to be of the order of 2 to 4 years.
