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.

What is free chlorine in a pool?

Free Chlorine is the Chlorine which is free to do its work in the pool, as opposed to Combined Chlorine which is chlorine that has combined with contaminants and is tied up and ineffective as a sanitizer in the pool. Sometimes you will see it abbreviated as FAC, which stands for Free Available Chlorine.


What do you do when your total chlorine is high and your free chlorine is low?

Total Chlorine = Free Chlorine + Combined Chlorineor, put another wayTotal Chlorine - Free Chlorine = Combined ChlorineFree Chlorine is the chlorine that is doing its job.Combined Chlorine is the chlorine that has combined with contaminants such as nitrogen. It is ineffective as a sanitizer and it is noxious.Total Chlorine is the total of these two levels.To eliminate the Combined Chlorine (making all the chlorine in the pool Free Chlorine) you must shock the pool to remove the contaminants. You must reach "Breakpoint Chlorination", which is the addition of chlorine to your pool equivalent to the Combined Chlorine level times 10.example:Total Chlorine = 1.5ppmFree Chlorine = 1.0ppmSo, the Combined Chlorine (the difference between the two tests) is .5ppmBreakpoint chlorination, in this example would be .5ppm X 10 = 5ppm. So, in this example, you would add enough chlorine to your pool to raise the chlorine level up by 5 parts per million.

Where is chlorine found or mined?

Chlorine is primarily found in the Earth's crust as the mineral halite (rock salt), which can be mined from underground salt deposits. It can also be extracted from seawater through a process called electrolysis. Additionally, chlorine is produced commercially through the electrolysis of brine (sodium chloride solution) or by the thermal decomposition of hydrochloric acid.


Is chloride mined?

Chloride is not mined directly; instead, it is usually extracted as a byproduct during the mining of other minerals, such as salt (sodium chloride). It can also be obtained from the extraction of brine from saltwater sources such as salt lakes and underground salt deposits.


Can you mine chlorine?

No, its a gas. You can't mine it.The usual source for Chlorine is common salt, as found in salt mines, salt pans and the sea. Salt is a molecule consisting of one atom of Sodium and one of Chlorine. By breaking the chemical bond between them, Chlorine is released.


Does chlorine come from salt You are in year 8 and doing a science assignment You need to the know mining or the extraction of chlorine but you have no idea where it comes from?

Chlorine is not directly mined, but rather it is extracted from salt through a process called electrolysis. Salt, or sodium chloride, is broken down into its constituent elements of sodium and chlorine using electricity. This process is commonly used in industrial settings to produce chlorine gas.
