Chemical industry on Sodium Sulphate (Anhydrous)



What is Sodium Sulphate (Anhydrous) ?


Sodium sulfate, also known as anhydrous sodium sulfate, is a chemical compound with the formula Naâ‚‚SOâ‚„. It forms a white, crystalline solid that is very soluble in water. The adjective "anhydrous" in this name indicates that it does not have water, which distinguishes it from its hydrated forms, the sodium sulfate decahydrate (Glauber's salt).


Key properties of Sodium Sulphate (Anhydrous) are - 


  • Chemical Formula: Naâ‚‚SOâ‚„.


  • Appearance: It usually exists as an inorganic compound, as a white, crystalline solid.


  • Solubility: Sodium sulfate is freely soluble in water. Its solubility increases with a rise in temperature.


  • Density: Its density is about 2.664 g/cm³.


  • Melting Point: The melting point of sodium sulfate is about 888°C 1630°F.


  • Boiling Point: Sodium sulfate decomposes before boiling, and so it doesn't have a defined boiling point.


  • Hygroscopicity: This is not very hygroscopic in its anhydrous form; that is, it does not absorb much moisture from the air.


  • pH: The acidity of sodium sulfate in solution tends to be neutral with a pH of about 7.


Why should one choose Sodium Sulphate (Anhydrous) 


  • Sodium sulfate (anhydrous) has diverse applications across different industries, which can provide a broad market base and multiple revenue streams.

  • Detergents and Soaps: Used as a filler in powdered detergents and soaps to give them strength and to reduce the cost of production.

  • Glass Making: This is an application as a flux in glass making, and also helps in reducing the melting point of raw materials.

  • Textiles: The compound is applied in the textile industry for the dyeing and printing processes.

  • Pulp and paper industry: Used in the kraft process for paper production; helps in the regeneration of chemicals used for pulping.


  • Chemical Manufacturing: Used either as a raw material or by-product in the manufacture of other chemicals.
