(PRWEB) July 27, 2012
Chlor-alkali produces three important chemical building blocks such as chlorine, sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) and sodium carbonate (soda ash). These blocks react with other compounds to produce thousands of crucial products, which are used in various applications in day to day life such as energy-efficient building materials and solar energy panels, pharmaceuticals and crop protection products, electronics and fiber optics. However, there are three basic processes for the manufacture of chlorine and caustic soda from brine such as mercury, diaphragm and the membrane.
This report estimates the market size of the global chlor-alkali market both in terms of volume and revenue. The report discusses major technologies such as mercury process, diaphragm, membrane and other as well as by applications such as pulp and paper, organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, soap and detergents, textiles, alumina, water treatment, polymers and others. This segmentation is given for major regions and key countries in those regions. Market drivers, restraints and challenges, raw material and product price trends are discussed in detail. Market share by participants for the overall market is discussed in detail in the report.
