| Title | Cleaner Production of Alkali | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Type | Modernisation of technology | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Technology and equipment for ion membrane alkali production with automatic instrumentation and controls will be imported to replace a 40,000 t/a graphite anode diaphragm electrolyser for alkali production in the Zhuzhou Chemical Plant in Hunan province. Personnel will be trained in the new technology. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Rationale | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The existing technology of the plant, a 40 percent graphite anode diaphragm electrolyser, consumes more power, graphite and asbestos and causes greater pollution than the new technology. Ion membrane alkali production, a new processing and manufacturing technique developed in 1980 's and characterised by less energy consumption, higher product purity, non-pollution, convenient operation and safety, is the trend of the chloro-alkali industry. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Products | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ion membrane solid alkali (98%): 20,000 t/a Ion membrane liquefied alkali: 20,000 t/a | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Location | Zhuzhou city, Hunan province | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
