Introduction to Chlor Alkali Process
Green Power provides the transformer rectifier for the Chlor Alkali electrlysis process Plants producing Chlorine and Caustic Soda are known as Chlor-Alkali plants. For commercial production of chlorine and caustic soda, the following three different processes are presently employed world-wide. ◆ Amalgm Process: The electrolysis using graphite anodes or metal anodes and mercury cathodes. ◆ Diaphragm Process: The electrolysis using graphite anodes or metal anodes and iron cathodes partitioned by diaphragm. ◆ Membrane Cell Process: The electrolysis using metal andoes and metal cathodes partictioned by cation exchange membranes. All the above processes are based upon electrolysis of aqueous solution of sodium chloride. The electrolysis is carried out by passage of direct current through the aqueous solution of sodium chloride. Though the first two processes namely the amalgam process and the diaphragm process are also being employed for production of chlorine and caustic soda, but the focus has now shifted on to membrane cell process because it has got the various advantages over the other processes. Principle of Membrane Cell Process: The membrane is the heart of the membrane cell process. It acts as a barrier between the anode and the cathode compartments of the cell. The membrane is impermeable for liquid and gas. It allows the passage of Na+ cations through it and prevents the passage of OH- inons. The membranes consist of fluorocarbon matrices. The membrane process employs two types of designs namely the bipolar design and mono-polar design. In the mono-polar design, the elements are connected in parallel, thus it has high amperes and low voltage. In bipolar design, elements are connected in series, thus it has low amperes and high voltage. Advantages of Membrane Cell Process: ◆ Reduced energy consumption. ◆ Less space requirement for electrolysis. |
