Currently, chlorine in the domestic chlor-alkali industry is mainly used to produce polyvinyl chloride; a small portion is used to produce methyl chlorides. Other products include hydrochloric acid, trichlorosilane, and chlorine dioxide.
1. Production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC): the price is over 7,000 yuan per ton (using the calcium carbide method). 2. Production of MDI (using the phosgene method): the price is over 20,000 yuan per ton. 3. Production of chloropropylene: the price is over 40,000 yuan per ton. 4. Production of neoprene: the price is over 20,000 yuan per ton. There are many other products as well, such as chlorobenzene and nitrochlorobenzene
It mainly produces vinyl chloride, as well as other products such as chloropropane :)
The country mainly produces PVC, with trichloroethylene being another product.
Its use in the production of silicone monomers is likely to be the main direction for future development! Just like what the original poster mentioned regarding the production of methyl chlorides.
Some companies use it for propylene oxide, titanium dioxide, chlorinated polyethylene, etc
