sodium sulfate
Sodium sulfate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na2SO4. It is a white, crystalline solid often used in manufacturing glass, detergents, textiles, and other industrial materials. It is also used in labs as an inert drying agent for removing traces of water from organic solutions. Sodium sulfate is generally known for its non-toxic nature, however, when handled improperly it can cause health issues such as skin and eye irritation. It is naturally found in some mineral springs and lakes, as well as a byproduct in several chemical manufacturing processes.

Sodium sulfate
Sodium sulfate is the sodium salt of sulfuric acid. When anhydrous, it is a white crystalline solid of formula Na2SO4 known as the mineral thenardite; the decahydrate Na2SO4·10H2O is found naturally as the mineral mirabilite, and in processed form has been known as Glauber's salt or, historically, sal mirabilis since the 17th century. Another solid is the heptahydrate, which transforms to mirabilite when cooled. With an annual production of 6 million tonnes, it is a major commodity chemical product. Sodium sulfate 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.
