Principles of Electrolysis in Manufacturing Chemicals | Engineering
The principles of electrolysis are used in the manufacture of chemicals, like caustic soda (NaOH), chlorine gas, aluminium sulphate, potassium permanganate, hydrogen and oxygen on large scale. The production of caustic soda when a solution of sodium chloride is electrolysed is obtained by following reaction: The negative chloride (CI) moves towards the anode where they give up the negative charge [...]
