Abstract[edit]

Sodium sulfate phase III as a metastable and anhydrous phase of sodium sulfate and its properties are presented.

Occurence[edit]

The phase was observed next to thenardite during the evaporation of sodium sulfate solutions above 32.4 °C which is above the transition temperature of mirabilite to thenardite. The amount of metastable phase III increases with increasing temperature [Amirthalingam.etal:1977]Title: Topotaxic phase change in Na2SO4

In addition the phase was detected during evaporation tests with sodium sulfate solutions at room temperature and low relative humidity [Linnow.etal:2006]Title: Investigation of Sodium Sulfate Phase Transitions in a Porous Material Using Humidity- and Temperature-Controlled X-ray Diffraction

With a solubility of 4.4 mol/kg at 20 °C [Steiger.etal:2008]Title: Crystallization of sodium sulfate phases in porous materials: The phase diagram Na2SO4–H2O and the generation of stress

phase III has got a higher solubility than the other phases of the system Na2SO4-H2O (see also sodium sulfate).

The deliquescence humidity of phase III at 20 °C is 82.9 % and it slowly increases with increasing temperature.
