Caustic soda is a co-product in the production of chlorine, 97% of which takes place by the electrolysis of sodium chloride. Caustic soda has an aggressive ...

The Chlor-Alkali process is an industrial technology for the electrolysis of sodium chloride (NaCl) or potassium chloride (KCl). This technology is used to produce chlorine (Cl2), sodium hydroxide (NaOH, caustic soda) or potassium hydroxide (KOH, caustic potash) and hydrogen (H2), which are commodity chemicals required by industry.

Executive summary
NaOH (sodium hydroxide or caustic soda) is a by-product of the chlorine-alkali process. As this process is determined by the long-term demand for chlorine, changes in demand for NaOH does not affect the output of NaOH from this process.

An analysis of the NaOH market reveals that long-term changes in demand for NaOH will affect the least essential uses of NaOH, i.e. those uses where NaOH can readily displace sodium carbonate (soda ash). A long-term increase in demand for NaOH will thus be met by an increased use of sodium carbonate for those uses where NaOH is not essential, e.g. in pulp and paper, water treatment, and certain chemical sectors where it is used as a neutralising agent. Likewise, a long-term decrease in demand for NaOH will lead to increased displacement of sodium carbonate.
