Chlorine production

Chlorine production typically involves electrolysis, where an electric current is passed through a brine solution (saltwater). This process splits the salt (sodium chloride) into its components: chlorine gas, sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), and hydrogen. The chlorine gas is collected and purified for various uses, such as disinfectants, water treatment, and manufacturing chemicals. This method is efficient and widely used because salt is abundant, making chlorine production both cost-effective and sustainable.
