Manufacturing process of Sodium Sulphate
Sodium Sulphate is manufactured through a controlled process to ensure high purity, consistent quality, and compliance with pharmaceutical and industrial standards.
Step 1: Raw Material Selection
High-quality sodium and sulphate raw materials are carefully selected and tested to ensure they meet the required quality specifications.
Step 2: Preparation of Solution
The raw materials are dissolved in purified water to prepare a clear reaction solution under controlled conditions.
Step 3: Controlled Reaction
The reactants are combined under controlled temperature, pH, and agitation to form Sodium Sulphate. The reaction is continuously monitored to ensure complete conversion.
Step 4: Purification
The reaction mixture is purified to remove unreacted materials and process-related impurities, ensuring a high-purity product.
Step 5: Concentration
The purified solution is concentrated by controlled evaporation to achieve the required concentration for crystal formation.
Step 6: Crystallization
The concentrated solution is cooled under controlled conditions, allowing Sodium Sulphate crystals to form with the desired purity and particle characteristics.
Step 7: Filtration
The crystals are separated from the mother liquor using suitable filtration equipment and washed to remove residual impurities.
Step 8: Drying
The filtered Sodium Sulphate crystals are dried under controlled temperature conditions until the required moisture content is achieved. The dried product is then ready for milling, quality testing, and packaging.
