Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a process for preparing virtually phase-pure calcium sulphate .beta.-hemihydrate in which finely particulate calcium sulphate dihydrate in the dry state is continuously partially dewatered by appropriate action of heat in a calcination apparatus. In this process, the finely particulate calcium sulphate dihydrate is heated in a first stage to a temperature of from about 110 to 140.degree.C and then, in a second stage, held at a temperature of from 110 to 140.degree.C under a water vapour atmosphere until virtually phase-pure calcium sulphate .beta.-hemihydrate is obtained.
