The purpose is to brainstorm different products that could be made from Cl2 or NaOH; these things are becoming surplus & I am looking into the derivatives
Currently we do produce:
1] HCl via burning H2(g) in Cl2(g) furnaces
2] Hypo solutions via rxn b/w Cl2(g) & NaOH(aq)
3] Bleach powder via rxn b/w Cl2(g) & CaO(s)
4] CaCl2 prills via rxn b/w CaCO3(s) & HCl(aq)
5] CO2(g) from the above rxn
6] Liquid Cl2 ...
