Sulfate chloride


The sulfate chlorides are double salts containing both the sulfate and chloride anions. They are distinct from the chlorosulfates which have a chlorine atom attached to the sulfur and contain the formula ClSO3.
Many minerals in this family exist. Many are found associated with volcanoes and fumaroles. As minerals they are included in the Nickel-Strunz classification group 7.DG.
Hey's CIM groups these as 12.2
