🧪 Sodium Sulphate (Na₂SO₄)
Sodium Sulphate is a white crystalline salt, chemically stable and non-toxic. Its most common form is the decahydrate (Na₂SO₄·10H₂O) known as Glauber’s salt, and the anhydrous form is widely used in various industries.
🌍 Sources of Sodium Sulphate
🔹 1. Natural Sources
Found in salt lakes and mineral deposits as mirabilite (Na₂SO₄·10H₂O)
Extracted through solar evaporation and crystallization
Major Indian Sources:
Rajasthan (Sambhar Lake)
Gujarat (Rann of Kutch)
Uttar Pradesh (Etawah region)
🔹 2. By-product in Industries
Rayon/Viscose fibre production
Detergent manufacturing
Glass or dye intermediates
By-product sodium sulphate is common in chemical plants producing hydrochloric acid or sodium dichromate.
