Chlor-alkali plants now rely on caustic soda to operate
Currently, chlor-alkali plants rely on two products: caustic soda and hydrogen. That’s what our plant does nowadays
The prices of liquid chlorine and hydrochloric acid are insane – they’re almost as expensive as a bottle of Nongfu Spring.
It’s given away for free, to avoid cluttering the warehouse and affecting caustic soda production.
