The main objective of the present work was the thermal and spectroscopic characterization of calcium sulfate dihydrate and hemihydrate. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TGA) thermal analysis techniques were applied, finding characteristic peaks at 102 °C for the hemihydrate, 52.5 and 126.7 °C for the dihydrate. TGA showed a weight loss of 1.5% at 38.27 °C, 3% at 73.14 °C and 8.5% at 110 °C for the hemihydrate, the dihydrate showed weight losses of 17% at 56 °C, 31.6% at 110 ° C and 41.4% at 130 °C. Analysis by FT-IR revealed absorption bands between 3700 and 3500 cm-1 typical of the water molecules present and bands between 1200 and 900 cm-1 characteristic of the S=O double bond. The 20.72°, 23.38° and 29.14° for the dihydrate form. The determination of heavy metals by atomic absorption showed concentrations below 60 ppm in Na, Fe, Pb, As and Cd. The micrographs taken by SEM revealed the morphology of the crystals for the study compounds, exposing a varied number of sizes. It was found that the product has high purity, without the presence of anhydrites and low concentrations of metals such as Na, Fe, Pb, As and Cd.
