Sodium magnesium sulfate

Sodium magnesium sulfate is a double sulfate of sodium and magnesium. There are a number of different stoichiometries and degrees of hydration with different crystal structures, and many are minerals. Members include:

  • Blödite or bloedite sodium magnesium sulfate tetrahydrate Na2Mg(SO4)2•4H2O[1]
  • Disodium magnesium disulfate decahydrate Na2Mg(SO4)2•10H2O[2]
  • Disodium magnesium disulfate hexadecahydrate Na2Mg(SO4)2•16H2O[3]
  • Konyaite Na2Mg(SO4)2•5H2O[4]
  • Löweite Na12Mg7(SO4)13•15H2O.[5][6]
  • Vanthoffite Na6Mg(SO4)4

Salts containing other anions in addition to sulfate

  • Na2Mg3(OH)2(SO4)4•4H2O[7]
  • Tychite hexasodium dimagnesium sulfate tetracarbonate Na6Mg2SO4(CO3)4[8]
  • Uklonskovite NaMgSO4F•2H2O[9]
