Sodium sulfate is a white crystalline or powdered substance that readily absorbs moisture from the air, transforming into a hydrated form. At 241°C, it transitions to a hexagonal crystal structure. The high-purity, fine-grained anhydrous form is known as "anhydrous sodium sulfate" or "salt cake". It dissolves easily in water, producing a cooling sensation and a taste that is cool and slightly salty. In humid air, it tends to hydrate, forming a powdery hydrated surface layer.
Chemical Industry: Used in the production of sodium sulfide, sodium silicate, water glass, and other chemical products.
Paper Industry: Serves as a cooking agent in the manufacture of sulfate pulp.
Glass Industry: Acts as a substitute for soda ash as a flux.
Textile Industry: Used in the preparation of spinning coagulant for vinylon.
Others: Also used in non-ferrous metallurgy, leather, and as a raw material for producing sodium sulfide, pulp, glass, water glass, ceramic glazes. Additionally, it serves as a laxative and an antidote for barium salt poisoning."
