Are shielded pumps suitable for use in the chlor-alkali industry?

I’m wondering whether canned pumps are suitable for use in the chlor-alkali industry: they don’t leak, produce less noise, and don’t require seal water, which reduces the need for frequent repairs. ， ， -
It can certainly be used in the chlor-alkali industry.
Shielded pumps are used in the chlor-alkali industry primarily for transporting liquid chlorine. Cavitation can occur easily during the transport of liquid chlorine, and shielded pumps have a low cavitation margin. Since chlorine is highly toxic, the use of leak-proof shielded pumps helps to prevent leaks of liquid chlorine.
