The Chlor-Alkali Industry
Production of Major Products in the Caustics Chain (1997)Chlorine ( billion lbs)Sodium Carbonate ( billion lbs)Sodium Hydroxide ( billion lbs)Source: CMA 1998. The Overview of the Chlor-AlkaliIndustry Chlorine, Sodium Hydroxide, and SodiumCarbonate Are Primary Products of theChlor- alkali IndustryThe caustics chain begins with sodium chloride(NaCl) and forms the basis for what is oftenreferred to as the Chlor-Alkali Industry . Majorproducts of the Chlor-Alkali Industry includechlorine, sodium hydroxide (caustic soda),soda ash (sodium carbonate), sodiumbicarbonate, potassium hydroxide, andpotassium carbonate. Of these products,chlorine, sodium hydroxide, and soda ash accountfor the largest share of shipments from the Chlor-Alkali Industry . These products are also veryimportant economically, being the chemicalsproduced in the eighth, ninth, and tenth largestamounts in the United States (in 1997, theircombined production was over 72 billion pounds)(CMA 1998).
