Sodium sulphate anhydrous

Sodium sulfate is an inorganic chemical compound, a salt of sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide. It takes an anhydrous or hydrated form - heptahydrate and decahydrate. In nature, it occurs as a very rare mineral thenardite. One of the methods of obtaining sodium sulfate is the Mannheim process based on the reaction of sodium chloride with sulfuric acid. It has a wide range of chemical properties used in many industries. In the glass industry, it is used as an auxiliary agent in the production of glass. Even a small amount of this substance causes clearly visible effects: it improves melting, eliminates the formation of alkaline bubbles and settling of the molten mass. Anhydrous sodium sulphate, thanks to its wide properties, is involved in the process of paper formation. It helps to separate the cellulose from the mother liquor. This agent is also added to various products, an example of such use can be washing powders, paints, dyes, fixatives or developers. This material is also used in medicine as the so-called Glauber salt. Thanks to its hygroscopicity, it can perfectly absorb water from the environment, which makes it an excellent moisture absorber.
