  • History of the Chlor-Alkali Industry
    2 History of the Chlor-Alkali Industry During the last half of the 19th century, chlorine, used almost exclusively in the textile and paper industry, was made [1] by reacting manganese dioxide with hydrochloric acid 100–110◦C MnO2 + 4HCl −−−−−−→ MnCl2 + Cl2 + 2H2O (1) Recycling of manganese improved the overall process economics, and the process became known as the Weldon process [2]. In the 1860s, the Deacon process, which generated chlorine by direct catalytic oxidation of hydrochloric acid with air according to Eq. (2) was developed [3]. ◦ 450–460 C;CuCl2 cat. 4HCl + O2(air) −−−−−−−−−−−−−−→ 2Cl2 + 2H2O(2) The HCl required for reactions (1) and (2) was available from the manufacture of soda ash by the LeBlanc process [4,5]. H2SO4 + 2NaCl → Na2SO4 + 2HCl (3) Na2SO4 + CaCO3 + 2C → Na2CO3 + CaS + 2CO2 (4) Utilization of HCl from reaction (3) eliminated the major water and air pollution problems of the LeBlanc process and allowed the generation of chlorine. By 1900, the Weldon and Deacon processes generated enough chlorine for the production of about 150,000 tons per year of bleaching powder in England alone [6]. An important discovery during this period was the fact that steel is immune to attack by dry chlorine [7]. This permitted the first commercial production and distribu- tion of dry liquid chlorine by Badische Anilin-und-Soda Fabrik (BASF) of Germany in 1888 [8,9]. This technology, using H2SO4 for drying followed by compression of the gas and condensation by cooling, is much the same as is currently practiced. 17 “chap02” — 2005/5/2 — 09Brie:49 — page 17 — #1 18 CHAPTER 2 In the latter part of the 19th century, the Solvay process for caustic soda began to replace the LeBlanc process.

  • Salt In, Salt Out
    chapter 2 Salt In, Salt Out Following their organizational meeting in November 1917, Yongli’s promoters began work on two Herculean tasks: searching for a plant design while raising the needed capital. In the process, problems of technology transfer, shifting government policy, and limitations of China’s capital market plagued them. Yongli’s challenge of Brunner, Mond’s formidable hold on the “well regulated” market and technology was both risky and difficult, which in turn made the task of raising the necessary capital even more daunting as it battled the Rev- enue Inspectorate over the gabelle waiver. Problems of Technology Transfer As Chen Diaofu and his colleagues demonstrated in Fan Xudong’s backyard, the chemistry behind the Solvay process was a public good. However, the engineering to make it work on an industrial scale was not.1 Sodium chloride (salt), one of the three main raw materials for the process, must be purified as a solution cleared of dirt, magnesium, and other impurities. The other essential chemical, ammonia, could be generated through burning coke, or added in liquid form. Reaction is then carried out by passing the concentrated and purified brine through the first of two absorption towers. Ammonia bubbles up to saturate the brine (NaCl + NH3, Step I). Separately, carbon dioxide is produced by heating limestone in a kiln at 950–1100°C. The calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the limestone, the third main ingredient, is partially converted to quicklime (calcium oxide, CaO) and carbon dioxide: CaCO 3 → CO 2 + CaO ( Step II) The carbon dioxide and ammoniacal brine are then fed into a second tower for carbonation.

  • History of the Chemical Industry, 1750 to 1930
    History of the Chemical Industry 1750 to 1930 – an Outline Copyright: David J M Rowe, University of York (1998) Introduction The aim of this survey is to sketch the history of the chemical industry (mainly in Britain), for the period 1750 to 1930, and its relationship with contemporary political, social, and scientific developments; much detail will inevitably be omitted for brevity. It will be argued that the development of the chemical industry arose largely in response to contemporary social needs; and that whereas the development gained much from scientific discoveries, problems encountered in industry also provided fertile ground for scientific enquiry. It is often supposed that pure science is a necessary precursor of technological development but a study of history reveals many cases in which scientific understanding of technology lags behind the technology, sometimes by a long way. Political Background Some major events: • American War of Independence 1775-1783 • French Revolution and Napoleonic Period Revolution 1789, First Empire (Napoleon I) 1804-1815 • American Civil War 1861-1865 • Unification of Italy; completed 1870 • Franco-Prussian War 1870-71 • Unification of Germany; foundation of German Empire 1871 • First World War 1914-1918 • Second World War 1939-1945 Emergence of Britain as the dominant world economic power between the end of the Napoleonic Wars (1815) and the First World War, but rise of Germany as a strong economy after 1871. Emergence of the USA as a powerful economy towards the end of the 19th century, to become

  • Soda Ash Sodium Carbonate
    Alkali-Chlorine & Allied Chemicals Course : ACCE-2221 2nd Year : Even Semester Group-A : Chapter-2 30 January 2016 Course Outline 1. Alkali, Chlorine and Allied Chemicals 2. Sodium Chloride as raw material 3. Manufacture of soda ash, Caustic soda, Chlorine. 4. Manufacture of hypochlorite's and bleaching powder. 30 January 2016 Alkali In chemistry, an alkali is a basic, ionic salt of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal chemical element. Some authorsalso define an alkali as a base that dissolves in water. A solution of a soluble base has a pH greater than 7.0. 30 January 2016 Allied Chemicals Caustic potash Caustic soda Chlorine compressed or liquefied Potassium carbonate Potassium hydroxide Sal soda (washing soda) Sodium bicarbonate Sodium carbonate (soda ash) 30 January 2016 Alkali Metal 30 January 2016 Alkali 30 January 2016 Alkali 30 January 2016 Common properties of Alkali Moderately concentrated solutions (over 10−3 M) have a pH of 7.1 or greater. This means that they will turn phenolphthalein from colorless to pink. Concentrated solutions are caustic (causing chemical burns). Alkaline solutions are slippery or soapy to the touch, due to the saponification of the fatty substances on the surface of the skin. Alkalis are normally water soluble, although some like barium carbonate are only soluble when reacting with an acidic aqueous solution. 30 January 2016 What is soda ash? Sodium carbonate (also known as washing soda, soda ash and soda crystals), Na2CO3, is a sodium salt of carbonic acid (soluble in water). It most commonly occurs as a crystalline hepta-hydrate, which readily effloresces to form a white powder, the monohydrate.
