Understanding Chlor-Alkali and Its Industrial Importance
The term chlor-alkali refers to the process used to produce chlorine and sodium hydroxide (commonly known as caustic soda), which are fundamental chemicals across many industries. This group of chemicals, including chlorine, hydrogen, and sodium hydroxide, is generated through the electrolysis of saltwater. Chlorine produced by this method is essential for various industries as a key ingredient in bleaching agents, solvents, construction materials, and insecticides.
