VIDEO: Green Chlor-Alkali Plant
I am not that familiar with the chlor-alkali industry aside from the information that it uses electrochemical processing which is getting to be popular as well in its potential to produce renewable carbon-based chemicals (example is Avantium’s Volta technology). Electrochemical processing can use renewable energy sources like solar, thermal or wind power but the problem … Continue reading
