Chlor-alkali Electrolysis

A chloralkali process always implies the electrolysis of common salt or sodium chloride. Depending on the method several products beside hydrogen can be produced. If the products are separated, chlorine and sodium hydroxide are the products; by mixing, sodium hypochlorite or sodium chlorate are produced, depending on the temperature.

 

Methods

   
Mercury Process  Membrane Process

Diaphragm Process

 
 
The mercury process will become less important, so that in the future mainly the membrane and the diaphragm processes will be applied.

Here you will find typical applications for Richter products in the Membrane- and Diaphragm Processes.
