Description
An exciting overview of the latest technologies in use within the chlorine industry is given in Modern Chlor-Alkali Technology Volume 7. International academic and industrial expertise is reported, with chapters ranging from the latest developments in membrane technology, diaphragm cell improvements, operating experiences and high current density operation of membrane cells to the removal of brine. Emphasis is also given to the vital issues of public awareness, environmental aspects and the need for good neighbour relations, with discussions on how to tackle public relations and the public perceptions of the industry. This volume, containing the most up-to-date information available on developments in chlorine technology, will be an essential read for researchers and postgraduates in industry and academe, or indeed for anyone who has contact with chlorine.

Description
Modern Chlor-Alkali Technology reports on developments taking place in chlorine technology, emphasizing both theory and practice. These developments are presented in the context of the economic, political, environmental and safety factors that impinge on the chlorine industry. It demonstrates the importance of technological progress in sustaining the industry, but shows at the same time that this in itself is not enough to guarantee its long-term future. Chlorine is an emotive subject. Its role in society, the public and political perception of it, the relentless pressure for safety and environmental improvement, and the need for effective communication with the public and opinion-formers are issues addressed by this book, and which must in turn be recognized by producers, suppliers and users alike. Modern Chlor-Alkali Technology contains chapters on membrane technology, covering both hardware developments and the practical experience of operators of this technology; diaphragm technology, showing the environmental and efficiency improvements being made in this traditional area; fundamental studies of chlorine evolution reactions applicable to all technologies; and potential new products and applications. It therefore provides a thorough source of information on the modern-day industry for both academics and workers in the field, at research level in applied and physical chemistry, electrochemistry and environmental science. It contains information that is invaluable to safety officers and regulators, and will prove a useful resource for the many people whose lives are affected by the chlorine industry and its products.
