Abstract

Sodium chloride itself has thousands of uses. It is also the base for many high-volume chemicals. Commercially, the most important of these are chlorine and its coproduct alkalis. Salt is a raw material in the production of synthetic soda ash and, by extension, bicarbonate and a broad range of silicates. Derivative products in clude hydrochloric acid, chiefly a byproduct, and a number of sulfur compounds. Sodium chlorate and its derivatives are other products of the electrolysis of salt. The characteristic applications of chlorine and some other products are in bleaching and disinfection. This chapter reviews production, processing, and application of all materials.
