7757-82-6 | Sodium Sulfate (Na₂SO₄)

Chemical type

• Ionic salt

Key properties

• Provides ionic conductivity
• Used to minimize electrode reactions (compared to NaCl)

• Solubility in water at 20°C: 1.354 mol/L.
• Present in pore solution; contributes to osmotic suction.
• Can crystallize as mirabilite (Na₂SO₄·10H₂O) or thenardite (Na₂SO₄) during phase change, leading to salt expansion.
• At 0.5°C, the solubility is 50.6 g/L.
• Its addition to loess increases pore solution concentration.

• Electrolyte solution in the electrode chambers (EC) of the experimental ED setup.

• Used to prepare saline loess samples to study salt weathering mechanisms in check dams.
• Identified as the primary culprit for salt weathering hazards in field surveys of loess check dams in northern Shaanxi.

Classification by use

• Supporting electrolyte in electrochemical systems

• Chemical used in geotechnical/civil engineering research
