Abstract: A process for purification of sodium chloride containing sodium impurity which has definite composition. The invention consists of a composition of Didwana salts found in the Didwana region of Rajasthan State containing less percentage of impurities which are within the permissible limit for industrial grade salt.The principle of the process is based on the phase equilibrium of NaCl-Na2SO4-H2O.The salt obtained is the upgraded salt. It provides Glauber"s salt and is a cyclic process with cost effectiveness. The resultant salt is named as salt efficient brine (SDB) . Moreover, induced crystallization in the invention makes the process energy efficient which with high industrial applicability.
