INTEGRATED UNIT OF LIME STONE TO LIME, SODIUM CARBONATE & BICARBONATE AND CAUSTIC SODA
[CODE NO. 1737]
Alkali chemical constitutes the oldest segment of the chemical industry. These chemicals serve as key inputs for a number of industries such as aluminium, soap, detergent, glass, tyre, rubber, pulp and paper, pharmaceutical, water treatment, textiles, leather, fiber etc. The key chemicals in the chlor-alkali industry are
• Caustic Soda
• Chlorine (including liquid chlorine)
• Soda Ash
Caustic Soda (chemically known as Sodium Hydroxide) and Chlorine are produced
together through the electrolysis of common salt solution (Sodium Chloride or Brine).
Caustic Soda and Chlorine are generated in the ratio of 1:0.89. Demand for chlorine drives caustic soda production globally, but in India the industry has developed in line with the demand-supply balance of caustic soda.
