Problems solved by technology

However, the problems faced by caustic soda production mainly include: (1) high energy consumption for electrolysis: during the electrolysis process, the cathode and anode will continuously produce hydrogen and chlorine, and its theoretical potential is as high as 2.172V. In actual industrial production, the electrolysis voltage is as high as 3V Above, the DC power consumption reaches 2200kWh / t-NaOH, accounting for more than 80% of the total energy consumption of caustic soda production
(2) High risk of operation: liquid chlorine and chlorine gas belong to the first batch of hazardous chemicals under key supervision. Even under strict regulatory policies, safety accidents caused by chlorine gas still emerge in endlessly
(3) Environmental protection pressure is high: chlorine gas, as a highly toxic gas, is the largest by-product of the ion-exchange membrane caustic soda industry, and 0.89 tons of chlorine gas is produced by producing 1 ton of caustic soda
This has brought about many environmental problems: 1. For every ton of chlorine gas produced, 20kg of chlorine-containing waste sulfuric acid will be produced, which has a high environmental risk; The emission concentration limit is changed from 65mg / m 3 reduced to 5mg / m 3 , greatly increasing the cost of environmental protection operation; 3. In the long run, the downstream market of chlorine gas cannot match the production volume of chlorine gas
However, with the development of chemical technology, especially electrochemical technology, and the enhancement of human awareness of environmental protection, economic and environmental problems such as high energy consumption, high emissions, and high safety risks in the two-alkali manufacturing process have become more prominent, which has seriously restricted the development of the two-alkali industry.
