Description

Sodium sulfate is the inorganic compound with formula Na2SO4 as well as several related hydrates. All forms are White solids that are highly soluble in water. With an annual production of 6 million tonnes, the decahydrate is a major commodity chemical product. It is mainly used for the manufacture of detergents and in the Kraft process of paper pulping.

Corrosivity

The rates of corrosion of iron and steel in water are a function of the specific mineral quality as well as the alkalinity and pH values. Sodium sulfate ... is a strong contributor to the rate of corrosion. For example, in water with 400 mg/l of alkalinity (as CaCO3) at pH 7, the corrosion rate will be zero at 200 mg/l of Na2SO4, but when the concentration of sodium sulfate is 400 mg/l, the corrosion rate will be about 100 mg per square cm per day.
