Sodium sulfate
It is also known as Glauber’s salt and sulfate of soda with the chemical formula Na2SO4. It is a mineral salt of sulfuric acid. All structural forms of sodium sulfate are white solids and dissolve in water. It has 3 types of structure: anhydrous sodium sulfate, sodium sulfate heptahydrate, which is very rare, and sodium sulfate decahydrate, known as Mirabilite mineral or Glauber’s salt. May cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air). The toxicological properties of this material have not been fully investigated.
Applications:
- A filler in household detergents and washing powder
- Production of wood pulp
- Application in the glass industry
- Textile production
