Chlorine itslf is not mined. The materials used to produce chlorine (NaCl) is mined. Chlorine is produced by electrolytic reaction of a chloride solution (e.g. NaCl) in a process involving a diaphragm cell or a mercury cell. The mercury cell process has been largely discontinued because of its associated loss of mercury to the environment.

Asbestos and polymers which make up the diaphragm are readily abundant and cheap and make the production of chlorine by the diaphragm method an economically advantageous process.
