A team from China’s Shandong University has developed a cold - hot coupling technology specifically for anhydrous sodium sulphate production. This innovative system recycles heat generated during brine concentration, a key step in the manufacturing process. Compared to traditional thermal drying methods that rely heavily on fossil fuels, the new tech reduces energy consumption by an estimated 35% and lowers carbon emissions by 28%. Pilot tests at a factory in Jiangsu province have already shown stable operation for six months, with production costs dropping by 12%—a significant gain for manufacturers in the competitive chemical sector.
