Which chemical products are produced by chlor–alkali electrolysis?
Introduction Chlor–alkali electrolysis simultaneously produces two chemical products via electrolysis of sodium chloride (NaCl) solution (i.e., brine); namely, chlorine (Cl 2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
What is a typical chlor-alkali electrolysis?
Typical chlor-alkali electrolysis (i.e. brine electrolysis) consists of two half reactions: the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) on the cathode and the chlorine evolution reaction (CER) on the anode, which is accompanied by sodium hydroxide (NaOH) formation in the electrolyte.
What is electrolysis of alkaline chlorides?
Production of the caustic solution, Chlorine, and Hydrogen from an aqueous solution of alkaline chlorides by application of direct current known as the “Electrolysis of Alkaline Chlorides” is being practiced in the Chloralkali industry for several years.
Will membrane electrolysis be the predominant process for chlor alkali production?
It has become the consensus of expert opinion that membrane electrolysis will be the predominant process for Chlor alkali production in the future. This is based on the following advantages : Reduced energy consumption in the membrane Chlor-alkali process through the utilization of perfluoro membranes suitable for the production of 30-33 % NaOH.
What is an example of cell voltage fluctuation during alkaline water electrolysis?
Fig. 8.14 shows an example of cell voltage fluctuation during alkaline water electrolysis with different diaphragms where the gas effect cannot be ignored. The hydrophilic treatment of a membrane strongly affects both the stability and reduction in cell voltage. Another example of cell voltage fluctuation is the gas bubble situation.
Is chlor-alkali electrolysis a membrane-free process?
The chlor-alkali process is an important industrial process to make commodity chemicals; however, it usually requires the use of dangerous chemicals as membrane material. Here, the authors demonstrate clean, membrane-free chlor-alkali electrolysis, where chlorine evolution and hydrogen/sodium hydroxide production are completely decoupled.
