 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 4 Gypsum and its imitations [Keywords:] gypsum pseudo-product identification For the sulfate mineral anhydrite gypsum plaster family, the main water containing calcium sulfate (CaSO4 * 2H2O). Health with the heat Xiehuo, Chufan thirst quencher. Recently, the author found in the inspection work, a collection of massive crystalline gypsum filling done by them traits, physical and chemical aspects of the identification study to determine the concentrations of the major ingredients of disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4). Now identify the authenticity of goods, described as follows: A test material 1.1 Sample gypsum Siping City Department of Food and Drug laboratory medicine Herbarium of existing specimens; counterfeit Shuangliao City of gypsum from a pharmacy, for testing samples. 1.2 Instrument and reagent PHS  3E-type pH meter (Tianjin second analytical instrument factory), platinum wire, zinc uranyl acetate, concentrated ammonia solution, hydrochloric acid, ammonium oxalate, acetic acid, barium chloride, nitrate, lead acetate, ammonium acetate, silver nitrate, ammonium chloride, magnesium, ammonium, methyl red, phenolphthalein were of analytical grade. 2 Methods and Results 2.1 Identification of gypsum traits: In order to fibrous aggregates, an elongated block, plate-shaped or irregular lumps. White, gray, or yellow, and some semi-transparent. Weight, soft, vertical section with silk-like sheen. Gas micro-, unleavened [1]. Counterfeit goods: In order to prism-shaped crystal, showing blocky or irregular shape. Surface weathering, with a white silty, crisp, fragile, fragment transparent or translucent, glass-like luster. Odorless, tasteless.
