Textile & Leather
Industry
Sodium sulphate is used as a
"leveling" agent where it reduces the
negative charges on fibers. By doing
so, it allows dyes to penetrate the
textiles evenly and effectively.Sodium
sulphate anhydrous also used in
leather industry for tanning.
Detergent Industry
The major use of sodium sulphate is
as a filler in powder products, for
example in detergents. Nowadays,
liquid detergent that doesn't include
sodium sulphate has become more
popular which decreasing the used of
sodium sulphate.
Paper Industry
In paper industries,sodium sulphate is
use in the Kraft process of wood pulp.
The wood chips loaded by sodium
sulphate and being heated.This cause
the sodium sulphate reduce into
sodium sulfide that breaks the bond in
cellulose of the wood, therefore the
wood chips become soft and easily
form into wood pulp.
Glass Industry
Another common use of sodium
sulphate is in glass industries to
prevent the formation of air bubbles in
molten glass. Sodium sulphate also act
as dryer for organic compound. It
removes water from organic compound,
although it remove slower than
another drying agent such as magne-
sium sulphate,it is more efficient.

added to ensure proper adhesion of
the dyes to the cellulosic fibers.This
can be done before dyeing, after
dyeing or before mixing with the dye.

in the pulping process because of the
need for precise and constant pH
control to increase efficiency. It also
helps neutralize the waste stream
and dispose of waste paper.
