Industrial Chemical Production

Chlor-alkali electrolysis converts purified brine into chlorine, caustic soda, and hydrogen through controlled electrochemical reactions. In membrane cell systems, anode coating stability, titanium substrate quality, current distribution, and dimensional accuracy directly affect chlorine evolution efficiency and service life.

Hele Titanium supports chlor-alkali projects with Ru-Ir MMO coated titanium anodes, titanium mesh substrates, replacement anode assemblies, and project-ready technical documentation for OEMs, system integrators, and chemical producers.

ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCESS

How Chlor-Alkali Electrolysis Works

Chlor-alkali electrolysis separates purified brine into chlorine, caustic soda, and hydrogen through a membrane cell. Ru-Ir MMO coated titanium anodes drive chlorine evolution in the anode chamber, while the membrane helps separate products and control ion transport.

1

Purified Brine Enters the Anode Chamber

Sodium chloride brine is purified and fed into the anode side of the membrane cell.

2

Ru-Ir MMO Titanium Anodes Drive Chlorine Evolution

Coated titanium anodes convert chloride ions into chlorine gas under controlled DC current.

3

Sodium Ions Pass Through the Membrane

The ion-exchange membrane separates the anode and cathode chambers while allowing sodium ion transport.

4

Caustic Soda and Hydrogen Form at the Cathode

Water reduction produces hydrogen and hydroxide ions, forming sodium hydroxide in the cathode chamber.

5

Products Are Collected Separately

Chlorine, caustic soda, and hydrogen are collected through separate outlets for downstream use.
