CAUSTIC SODA MANUFACTURING PROCESS
MEMBRANE CELL
BRINE PURIFICATION
General
Brine for Ion Exchange membranes Chloro-alkali process is prepared by dissolving salt
through salt feeding facilities into the return brine from the electrolysis plant, and
purified in primary brine purification plant.
The membrane Chloro-alkali process, however, requires a secondary brine purification
process also.
After the conventional treatment, brine is purified with brine filter and ion exchange
resin column in order to obtain suitable quality for the ion exchange membrane Chloro-
alkali process.
Primary Brine Purification
Primary brine purification section is composed of salt conveyor system. Salt saturator,
reactor, Clarifier, clarified brine tank and associated facilities.
This process includes salt saturation, chemical dosage, reaction and sedimentation. The
purpose of this process is to re-saturate the return brine with raw salt and to remove
impurities from the saturated raw brine.
The return brine is fed to the top of salt saturator and is saturated with salt while the
brine flows upward through the salt bed in salt saturator. The salt is continuously
supplied at the top of salt saturator by salt conveyor system.
The saturated raw brine overflows from salt saturator and flows into reactor. Chemicals,
such as Barium chloride, Sodium carbonate, Caustic Soda and flocculent along with re-
circulated sludge from brine clarifier, are fed to reactor.
Calcium, Magnesium and other multivalent cat ions in the raw brine react with those
chemicals and are changed to suspended solids while the brine is fed into clarifier.
The suspended solid in the brine are removed by settling separation in clarifier. The
brine, thus clarified, flows into clarified brine tank over the weir of clarifier. Slurry on the
bottom of clarifier is pumped out and re-circulated to the brine line before reactor.

M/s. Lords Chloro Alkali Ltd. 35
A part of slurry is purged to clarifier slurry pit and pumped out to sludge filtration section.
Secondary Brine Purification
Secondary brine purification section is composed of brine filter and Ion exchange resin
column.
The suspended solids in the brine is filtrated by brine filter and discharged with filter aid
to filter slurry put. The discharged brine with filter aid is pumped out to sludge filter
section. Ion exchange resin column packed with special ion exchange resin is operated
and controlled automatically from control room.
This specially developed ion exchange resin can remove multivalent cat ions harmful to
the ion exchange membrane to such an extent as cannot be achieved by conventional
chemical treatment. It ensures stable operation of Ion exchange Membrane cell.
ELECTROLYSIS
The electrolysis section is consists of electrolyzers, catholyte and anolyte circulation
tanks.
Electrolyzer
Electrolyser is composed of a number of bi-polar cell frames with metal anodes and
activated cathode, ion exchange membranes press unit for mounting cell frames, sub
headers for anolyte and catholyte sub headers for discharging electrolysis products.
Anolyte circulation
Anolyte is fed from anolyte circulation tank to each of anode compartment through sub
headers and hoses and re-circulated to anolyte circulation tank. Purified brine is fed to
the anolyte tank in order to keep anolyte concentration within designed level. The dilute
brine is sent to return brine tank for de- chlorination.
Catholyte circulation
Catholyte is fed from catholyte circulation tank to each of catholyte compartment
through sub headers and hoses and re-circulated to catholyte circulation tank. Caustic
soda concentration is continuously monitored to designed level by feeding DM water.
Caustic soda generated is sent to caustic soda tank.

STABLE BLEACHING POWDER MANUFACTURING PROCESS
PROCEDURE
Received Hydrated Lime as taken in hopper to the required level. Attain a vacuum of 640
mm of Hg. Confirm liquid chlorine has been taken in storage tank. Now liquid chlorine outlet
valve of chlorine tank and inlet valve in the header to chlorination drum is opened,
subsequently chlorine charging nozzle valves (4 Nos.) are opened. The flow of chlorine
starts due to pressure differential between drum and chlorine storage tank. The vacuum
drops which is seen with the help of manometer. During chlorination vacuum is lowered by
about 20 mm mercury. The opening of nozzle valves are adjusted accordingly, the liquid
chlorine get vaporized as it enters the drum because of low pressure. The chlorine reacts
with Hydrated Lime according to following chemical reaction.
2 Ca(OH)2 + 2 Cl2 = Ca(OCl )2 + CaCl2 + 2 H2O + Heat

Pre - feasibility Report
M/s. Lords Chloro Alkali Ltd. 41
The reaction is exothermic. To control the rise in temperature cooling water from cooling
tower pumps is circulated in the jacket of the drum. Chlorine feeding rate, temperature and
vacuum is recorded after every 15 minutes during chlorination (while 30 minutes for drying
and cooling) by taking reading of weighing scale of chlorine storage tank, temperature gauge
and vacuum gauge. The water formed due to reaction is partly get evaporated continuously
due to low pressure of the system utilizing the heat of reaction.
At the end of chlorination a bleaching powder with about 2-3 percent water is obtained with
the increase of chlorine absorbed. Temperature is not allowed to exceed 60C at the end of
the chlorination. For a batch of 6.5 MT SBP and 35-37 % of available chlorine. 2400 – 2700 Kgs
of chlorine is utilized. The amount varies from batch to batch due to variation in the quantity
of lime and chlorine absorbed.
The water let out at the end of chlorination is removed by drying the product using steam in
the jacket under vacuum at 600-700 mm of Hg.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS CHLORINATED PARAFFIN WAX (CPW)
About chlorinated paraffins:Chlorinated paraffins are manufactured by the chlorination of n-paraffin or paraffin wax,
normally in a batch process. The reaction is exothermic and leads to the generation of the by-
product hydrochloric acid. After removing residual traces of acid, a stabilizer is added to
produce finished batches.
Increasing the chlorine content results in products with higher viscosity and density.
Liquid grades of chlorinated paraffin are produced in various ranges generally from 42 to 62%
chlorine.
Raw materials:
Heavy normal paraffin (HNP) , Wax, Chlorine, Stabilizers, Hydrated Lime.

It is a batch process consisting of the reaction as shown above and is highly exothermic
therefore heat is continuously with the help of cooling water circulated in the outer jacket.
CPW is the chlorine derivative of straight chain hydrocarbons.
As chlorine increases in the system HCl vapors also produced simultaneously are absorbed in
water to make acid. When chlorine content in CPW is reached in the range 42 – 62 % (as
desired) , the chlorine supply is cut off to stop the reaction and air is generally passed to CPW
in degasser but as a modification now we propose to pass nitrogen to eliminate excess
chlorine to enhance better product quality and at the end of chlorination hot water is
circulated to avoid retention of high un-reacted high chlorine.
Now CPW is further stabilized with suitable stabilizers for stability and packed in HM-HDPE
barrels. We also get HCl as by- product and HYPO produced by absorption of traces of un-
reacted chlorine in alkali are also saleable.
