Sodium Chloride Product Ecology

Basics

• This page aims to lay out all the products that can be produced from Sodium Chloride and/or a Water-Sodium Chloride Solution (ie Brine )

List

• Via Brine Electrolysis :
  • Hydrogen
  • Sodium Hydroxide
  • Chlorine Gas
  • If the Sodium Hydroxide and Chlorine are combined in the Hooker Process (Sodium hypochlorite Production) Sodium hypochlorite (aka Bleach) is produced
• Via the Solvay process :
  • Sodium carbonate
    • This can be made into Sodium bicarbonate
      • Via the addition of one or more Powdered Acids and Starch , Baking Powder is formed

Misc to figure out later

• Calcium chloride
• Mannheim process
• Sodium ferrocyanide ( Anti-Caking Agent and precursor to Prussian blue )
• Sodium chlorate
  • Used to make Sodium chlorite
• Sodium Metal
  • Sodium-Vapor Lamps
  • Sodium-Ion Battery
  • Misc Chemistry Uses; Birch reduction , Sodium Fusion Test , education
  • Use as a High Temperature Heat Transfer Fluid (including usage as a sort of internal Heat Pipe in Internal Combustion Engine Poppet Valves
