Calcium sulfate, chemically CaSO4, is a versatile compound with various industrial, medical, and agricultural applications. Calcium sulfate has been known since ancient times for its presence in natural deposits and minerals. It is composed of calcium ions (Ca�?) and sulfate ions (SO4�?). The compound exists in a variety of forms, including gypsum (CaSO4�2H2O), which is the common hydrated form found in nature, and anhydrous gypsum (CaSO4), which is less common and usually found in dry environments.

Gypsum is the hydrated form of calcium sulfate and a key ingredient in building materials. It is used in gypsum board (drywall), cement, and plaster to improve fire resistance, sound insulation, and structural integrity. Gypsum board is widely used for interior walls and ceilings due to its ease of installation and durability. In the cement industry, calcium sulfate acts as a setting regulator and strength enhancer. It helps control the setting time of cement and improves its workability, contributing to the production of high-quality concrete and mortar used in construction projects around the world. Calcium sulfate is used as a soil conditioner to improve soil structure and fertility. Gypsum helps loosen compacted soil, enhance water penetration and root growth, and reduce nutrient loss. It is particularly beneficial to agricultural soils with high clay content.

Calcium sulfate is added to fertilizers as a source of calcium and sulfur, essential nutrients for plant growth and development. It helps improve soil pH balance, promotes root health, and increases crop yields, especially in areas where soil calcium levels are insufficient.

Calcium sulfate is used as a food additive in the food industry to adjust and enhance the texture of various products. It is used as a firming agent, stabilizer, and coagulant in foods such as tofu, baked goods, and dairy products. Calcium sulfate helps maintain product consistency and shelf life. In pharmaceutical formulations, calcium sulfate is used as a filler and binder in tablet manufacturing. Its inertness and compressibility make it suitable for ensuring uniform distribution of active ingredients and improving the mechanical properties of tablets.

Plaster of Paris is a hemihydrate of calcium sulfate that is used in orthopedic medicine to make casts and molds to immobilize broken bones and support injured limbs during healing. It solidifies quickly and forms strong, lightweight structures, making it ideal for medical applications.
