Thanks for quick response. This is related to crude distillation unit. We have H2S in crude feed and we are injecting NaOH into the crude feed. There is problem in chocking of pump strainer. When analyze the plugging material found a Na2SO4. So trying to confirm if SO4(2-) ions can react with NaOH.

I have a condition in which H2S oxidize in the presence of oxygen or air to produce sulfate ion "SO4(2-)". Is this sulfate ion can react with NaOH to produce Na2SO4?
