Anhydrous Sodium Sulphate PlantSodium sulfate, known as disodium sulfate and Sodium sulphate, in its anhydrous form with high purity, is used in the manufacturing of detergents, paper, and glass and has many chemical applications. It is produced from natural minerals like Mirabilite, Glauberite and Thernadite, or from natural salt lakes and as a byproduct of a verity of chemical manufacturing processes, such as ascorbic acid, battery acid recycling, boric acid, cellulose, chromium chemicals, lithium carbonate, rayon, resorcinol, and silica pigments. Manufacturing of anhydrous Sodium Sulphate involves following process,
Production and preparation :Sodium sulfate can be obtained directly from the minerals or from the treatment of sodium chloride with sulfuric acid and evaporating to Crystallization:It is also produce industrially by the reaction of magnesium sulfate and sodium chloride in solution followed by crystallization. In both cases, Sodium sulfate is subsequently crystallized as the decahydrate product which can easily convert to anhydrous form upon heating. Applications:
1. The anhydrous salt is used for drying
certain organic liquids, Because of its
moisture-adsorbing ability. |
