Chlor-alkali Process

The chlor-alkali process is an industrial method to produce essential chemicals used in various products. It involves passing an electric current through a saltwater solution (brine), which causes the salt (sodium chloride) to split into three main products: chlorine gas, sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), and hydrogen gas. These chemicals are vital for manufacturing plastics, disinfectants, and in water treatment. The process is efficient and essential for supplying key raw materials in modern industry, relying on electrolysis to separate the compounds safely and effectively.
