Gypsum, Ca[SO 4]·2H 2O or CaO·SO 3·2H 2O, is a calcium di-sulfate with a layer structure. In the crystallochemical classification of minerals, gypsum belongs to the oxysalt class, the sulfate subclass, and the gypsum and anhydrite group. In the structural-functional classification of mineral raw materials in mineral material science, gypsum belongs to the category of two-dimensional structural minerals and the subcategory of functional minerals.
