INDUSTRIAL SALT USES
The chemical industry is by far the largest consumer of salt. Its compounds make salt one of the most important materials in the industry as it is used for the chemical synthesis of more than 50% of chemical products. It is also used in the manufacturing of thousands of other commodities such as glass, paper, rubber, and textiles as well as in water softening systems for industry and domestic use.
Salt is an essential raw material for the production of chlorine and caustic soda performed through the electrolysis of salt brine.
** Chlorine**
Chlorine is one of the most abundant and common chemical elements on Earth. It is an extremely effective disinfectant mostly known for its use in cleansing drinking water and swimming pools. Chlorine also contributes to advances in areas as diverse as medicine and public safety by easing everyday life.Moreover, many chemicals, plastics and medicines depend on chlorine during the manufacturing process, although the chemical is not contained in the end product.
** Caustic soda **
Caustic soda solution is an essential ingredient in many industrial operations, including pulp and paper, detergent and the chemical processing industry. It is also used in the alumina, petrochemical and textile industries.
** Soda ash **
Soda ash is one of the three main elements for glassmaking as it helps lower the temperature of the melt during the process. Soda ash is also the raw material for the production of many sodium compounds, such as sodium silicate, sodium bicarbonate and sodium tripolyphospate. Furthermore, the pulp and paper industry uses soda ash in the chemical pulp manufacturing process.
