ELETTROLISI DI UNA SOLUZIONE ACQUOSA DI CLORURO DI SODIO

摘要

An electrolysis of an aqueous solution of sodium chloride is carried out by employing a fluorinated cation exchange membrane having an ion-exchange capacity of 0.8 to 2.0 meq/g dry polymer and having carboxylic acid groups as functional groups and maintaining a concentration of an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide in a cathode compartment in a range of 20 to 45 wt. % and maintaining a calcium concentration in the aqueous solution of sodium chloride to lower than 0.08 mg/liter. The purification of the aqueous solution of sodium chloride to reduce the calcium concentration is carried out in a system comprising the first and second chelate ion-exchange towers which are connected through a detector for detecting impurities in the aqueous solution.
