The usual method is heating to make the anhydrous salt, which is often used as a mild desiccant. The salt is thermally stable and heating in a flow of air can be used to remove unwanted trace organic contaminants as well as the water of crystallisation.
Interesting Saima. sodium sulphate is chemically very stable , being unreactive towards any oxidizing or reducing agents at normal temperatures . at high temperatures, it can be converted into sodium sulphide . sodium sulphate has ten molecules of water of hydration . A simple controlled heating will lead to formation of anhydrous sodium sulphate after loosing water of hydration .
