What are advantages of using mercury cell over membrane cell except the quality?
Wiki User
∙ 16y ago
The Mercury cell produces NaOH of higher concentrations than that which is obtainable in the membrane cell. The Mercury Cell is fairly self sustaining, whereas the membrane used in the membrane cell often gets clogged and impermeable to Na ions. Therefore it must be consistently cleaned - this costs time and money. Furthermore, the membrane itself is made of an expensive material, and overall, the Mercury cell is a cheaper alternative, favouring its usage in industry for those less concerned about the damaging potential of Mercury in the environment - Mercury is poisonous and can cause serious illness in cases of overexposure.
