PROJECT REPORT
ON
SODIUM SULPHATE
INTRODUCTION:
Sodium sulphate is the sodium salt of sulphuric acid. When anhydrous, it is a white
crystalline solid, the decahydrate Na2SO4ꞏ10H2O has been known as Glauber's salt.
Sodium sulphate is mainly used for the manufacture of detergents and in the Kraft
process of paper pulping. About two-thirds of the world's production is from mirabilite,
the natural mineral form of the decahydrate, and the remainder from by-products of
chemical processes such as hydrochloric acid production. Sodium sulfate is chemically
very stable, being unreactive toward most oxidizing or reducing agents at normal
temperatures. Sodium sulfate is a neutral salt, which forms aqueous solutions with pH of
7. The neutrality of such solutions reflects the fact that Na2SO4 is derived, formally
speaking, from the strong acid sulfuric acid and a strong base sodium hydroxide.

Its specific gravity is 1.464 and melting point is 888ºC. It loses the water of hydration at
100ºC. It is neutral, non-toxic and highly soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol and
noncombustible. Anhydrous sodium sulphate is odorless, bitter saline taste, soluble in
water and glycerol.
MARKET POTENTIAL:
Sodium Sulphate is used as raw material in the manufacture of Kraft paper, paper board
and glass. It is also used as filler in synthetic detergents, Sodium salts, Ceramic glazes,
Processing textile fibres, dyes, tanning, pharmaceuticals, freezing mixtures laboratory
reagent and food additive, sodium sulphate decahydrate is used in solar heat storage
and air conditioning. With growing demand of above items the product has good market.

TECHNICAL ASPECTS:
PROCESS OUTLINES:
Sodium Chloride (Common Salt) and concentrated Sulphuric Acid are heated in a furnace
at high temperature and thereby Sodium Sulphate in the form of niter cake is formed.
Hydrochloric Acid gas formed during the process is absorbed in water in fibre glass re- in
forced plastics absorption tank. The nitre cake formed is dissolved in water as saturated
solution. Decahydrate sodium sulphate is crystallized by evaporating the water.

POLLUTION CONTROL NEEDS:
The unit comes under the category of polluting Industries and thus a small effluent
treatment device has to be installed under the able guidance of State Pollution Control
Board.
ENERGY CONSERVATION:
Proper maintenance of machinery and judicial use of them will conserve energy. Proper
maintenance of power operated machines and judicious use of them will conserve energy.
However, pipelines of boiler shall be properly insulated and priority should be given to
install energy efficient machinery and equipment.
