Description
Sodium Sulphate Anhydrous is the anhydrous, sodium salt form of sulfuric acid. Anhydrous sodium sulfate (Anhydrous sodium sulfate), known as the rare mineral thenardite, is a drying agent in organic synthesis.
Chemical Properties
Sodium Sulphate Anhydrous is a crystalline solid white granular powder. It is the anhydrous, sodium salt form of sulfuric acid. It is very hygroscopic, highly soluble in water, and has a slight characteristic odor or no odor. This material is a high-quality, natural Sodium Sulfate from raw salt (Glauber’s salt) from a natural alkali lake deposit.
Uses
Sodium Sulphate Anhydrous disassociates in water to provide sodium ions and sulfate ions. The sodium ion is the principal cation of the extracellular fluid and plays a large part in the therapy of fluid and electrolyte disturbances. Sodium Sulphate Anhydrous is an electrolyte replenisher used in isosmotic solutions so that administration does not disturb normal electrolyte balance and does not lead to absorption or excretion of water and ions.
Preparation
Vacuum evaporation method: clarify the natural Glauber's salt after dissolving it; put the clarified solution for vacuum evaporation dehydration, thickening, centrifugation and separation and drying to obtain Sodium Sulphate Anhydrous. The reaction equation is: Na2SO4·10H2O → Na2SO4 + 10H2O
