Ammonium chloride in soda ash is used to produce hydrochloric acid

I would like to ask the experts and knowledgeable individuals: Is it feasible for our company to use ammonium chloride produced in the soda ash manufacturing process to produce hydrochloric acid? Are there any companies working on this? I would like to ask about the main process flow and consumption.
Regarding what the original poster mentioned, I have seen information on this topic before; this technology is still under research, and I haven’t heard much about its industrial application, haha… Here’s some information for your reference: “Status and Prospects of Ammonium Chloride Conversion Technology” by Zeng Fengchun, published in the September 2009 issue of “Inorganic Salt Industry”; “A Preliminary Study on the Production of Ammonia and Hydrochloric Acid from Ammonium Chloride” published in the April 1991 issue of “Guizhou Chemical Industry”
I’ve never heard of this new technology; these days, hydrochloric acid is mostly produced by synthesizing chlorine and hydrogen in the caustic soda industry, right?
Reply to 1# torch123: Using ammonium chloride to produce hydrochloric acid – regardless of whether the production process is already established or not – considering the current market prices of ammonium chloride and hydrochloric acid, it is not economical to do so. Currently, the price of ammonium chloride is around 1,000 yuan per ton, while the price of hydrochloric acid at about 30% concentration is around 400 yuan per ton. Is there any room for profit under these conditions? Skeptical about this issue.
