3 methods used to produce chlorine?
Mercury cell process: Electrolysis of brine (sodium chloride solution) using a mercury cathode. Membrane cell process: Electrolysis of brine through a membrane that selectively allows sodium ions to pass while blocking other ions. Diaphragm cell process: Electrolysis of brine separated by a porous diaphragm to prevent mixing of products and byproducts.
Advantages of membrane cell - chloralkali process?
The membrane cell chloralkali process offers advantages such as higher energy efficiency, lower maintenance costs due to reduced corrosion, and better product quality compared to the mercury cell process. Additionally, it eliminates the need for mercury, making it more environmentally friendly.
What are the economic advantages of using a diaphragm cell for chlorine production?
The economic advantages of using a diaphragm cell for chlorine production include lower energy consumption compared to other methods, such as mercury or membrane cells, resulting in cost savings. Additionally, diaphragm cells have a longer lifespan, reducing maintenance and replacement costs. The simplicity of the design also contributes to lower capital investment and operational expenses.
What are advantages of using mercury cell over membrane cell except the quality?
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.
What is the difference between a plasma membrane and a Cell?
A plasma membrane is a structure that surrounds the cell and separates it from its environment, controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell. A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life, consisting of various organelles surrounded by the plasma membrane. Thus, a cell encompasses the plasma membrane within its boundaries.
What are the economic advantages of using the diaphragm cell for Chlorine production?
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.
What pumps in the cell membrane?
The sodium potassium pump is a form of active transport in which sodium and potassium end up switching places (one into the cell and one leaves the cell). The pump is located in the cell membrane.
What Controls what moves in and out of the cell?
Cell membrane
Another name for plasma membrane?
A cell membrane is also known as a plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane. The cell membrane separates the interior of a cell from its outside environment. The main function of a cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings.
What is the thin flexible membrane around all cells?
the cell membrane is as flexible barrier outside of the cell.
Which contains the other cell membrane or phospholipid?
the cell membrane
What controls the entering and leaving of a cell?
cell (plasma) membrane
