Uses
Industrial field: It is a raw material for manufacturing chemical products such as sodium sulfide and sodium silicate. In the glass industry, it can replace soda ash as a cosolvent to improve the heat resistance and transparency of glass. It is used to prepare vinylon spinning coagulant and used as a cooking agent in the papermaking industry. It can also be used in non-ferrous metal metallurgy, leather and other aspects.
Medical field: Anhydrous sodium sulfate enteric-coated capsules can be used to treat simple and secondary acute constipation.
Other aspects: Used as an auxiliary agent in detergents to enhance cleaning effect and emulsification properties. It can also be used as a desiccant to absorb moisture, and can also be used as a dye diluent, analytical chemical reagent, buffer in water treatment, etc.
Precautions
Corrosive and irritating: Contact with anhydrous sodium sulfate may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Gloves and goggles should be worn during operation.
Avoid reactions: Avoid contact with acidic substances to avoid the production of harmful gases or corrosive solutions.
Storage conditions: It should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from fire and combustibles.
