Used in the textile industry as a leveling agent in dyeing processes, particularly for cotton, to help control dye uptake and ensure even color distribution. Also employed in the manufacturing of detergents and cleaning agents as a filler to maintain consistent density and improve flow properties. In laboratory settings, it serves as an inert drying agent to remove traces of water from organic solvents due to its high affinity for moisture. Additionally, it is used in the Kraft process for paper pulping to maintain the chemical balance in the recovery cycle. Its low cost and chemical stability make it suitable for large-scale industrial applications where high-purity salts are required.
