ADVANTAGES:

• Average production cost of 1,000 kg of chlorine gas is at least 1.5 times less than the average cost of chlorine gas sold in cylinders and 2.5 times less than the cost of sodium hypochlorite in FAC terms.
• EMERALD ECOCHLOR devices has a capacity from 0.25 to 3.0 kilograms of chlorine per hour producing wet or dry chlorine gas under pressure and caustic soda solution, eliminating the need for chlorine drying, transportation, storage, as well as the safety and security system for chlorine handling.
• Chlorine in any technology is used in a gaseous state, so ECOCHLOR devices of the required capacity will meet the needs of any enterprise with safe chlorine, yielding caustic soda solution as an additional valuable product.
• The devices do not fall under the licensed type of activity, excluding costs for ensuring industrial safety requirements.
• EMERALD ECOCHLOR devices don’t have replaceable or fast-wearing parts eliminating maintenance costs for traditional membrane electrolysers and regular replacement of NAFION polymer membranes.

APPLICATION:

• Chlorine consuming processes in chemical, mining, processing, pharmaceutical, food industries, water treatment, agriculture.
• At metallurgical and chemical enterprises for leaching of rare, non-ferrous and noble metals by hydrochlorination method from ores and wastes to extract gold, silver, copper, platinum, palladium. The advantage is the high chemical activity of chlorine at the time of its formation.
• In uranium mining and processing technology, including the intensification of uranium in-situ leaching (ISL) processes, regeneration of uranium ISL solutions and the use in liquid radioactive waste treatment technologies.
• To dissolve platinum group metals instead of the traditional technology using “aqua regia” (a mixture of concentrated nitric (HNO₃) and hydrochloric (HCl) acids), which eliminates the emissions of toxic nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere while obtaining an additional product – caustic soda.
• Yields a 15-20% caustic soda solution (NaOH), which is a valuable co-reagent and is used in various industries: textile, chemical, food, oil, etc.
• Production of 360 liters per day of 20% hydrochloric acid (HCl capacity of one EMERALD ECOCHLOR 3000 device).
