Chlorine is an important chemical element that is widely used in various industries. It is primarily produced through the process of electrolysis, where a salt solution such as sodium chloride (NaCl) is subjected to an electric current.
The electrolysis of salt water involves the decomposition of sodium chloride into chlorine gas (Cl2), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and hydrogen gas (H2). This process takes place in a specialized electrolytic cell known as a chloralkali cell.
Chloralkali cells consist of two compartments separated by a porous diaphragm or a membrane. The anode compartment contains a solution of sodium chloride, while the cathode compartment contains a solution of sodium hydroxide. When an electric current is passed through the cell, several reactions occur simultaneously.
At the anode (positive electrode), chloride ions (Cl-) are oxidized to form chlorine gas. This is known as the oxidation reaction:
2Cl- → Cl2 + 2e-
At the cathode (negative electrode), water molecules (H2O) are reduced to form hydrogen gas and hydroxide ions (OH-). This is known as the reduction reaction:
2H2O + 2e- → H2 + 2OH-
The overall reaction for the electrolysis of sodium chloride can be represented as:
2NaCl + 2H2O → Cl2 + H2 + 2NaOH
The chlorine gas produced during this process is captured, purified, and stored for various industrial applications. It is commonly used in the production of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and other plastics, as well as in water treatment, disinfection, and bleach manufacturing.
The production of chlorine has significant environmental considerations. Chloralkali plants can release chlorine gas into the atmosphere if not properly controlled. However, modern production facilities have stringent safety measures in place to prevent such emissions. Additionally, the byproduct sodium hydroxide generated during chlorine production is a valuable chemical used in various industries.
In conclusion, chlorine is produced through the electrolysis of salt water in specialized chloralkali cells. This process involves the oxidation of chloride ions at the anode and the reduction of water molecules at the cathode. The chlorine gas produced is important for numerous industrial applications, while the byproduct sodium hydroxide has its own uses. Safety measures are implemented to prevent environmental pollution from chlorine gas emissions.

Rapidly expanding manufacturing of zinc-bromine batteries, strong eco-friendly competitors for lithium counterparts, is to stimulate the growth of the global bromine market. Compared to lithium analogues, zinc-bromine batteries are more cost-effective and less flammable because they can function at high temperatures. Developers and producers of zinc-bromine battery components are actively fundraising last year thanks to the high market potential. Gelion launched an IPO on the London Stock Exchange, while Neogen Chemicals’ stocks more than doubled in 2021.
