The chlor-alkali process keeps steadily evolving. Older membrane separation technologies like mercury and diaphragm cells have either become too hazardous or too energy intensive to remain viable.
But one, Nafion Ion Exchange Membrane (IXM) technology, is proving to be the cleanest, most energy efficient choice for chlor-alkali production, says the company. And for good reasons.
Nafion IXMs consume just 2,500 kWh/ton of chlorine produced—compared to diaphragm cells that consume 2,900 kWh/ton. Nafion IXMs also offer enhanced voltage performance, greater mechanical durability, and exceptional resistance to impurities throughout their long service life. They are much safer for workers and their health compared to mercury cells. And, because Nafion IMXs are ionomer based, they selectively conduct ions over a wide range of operating conditions. They offer minimal impact to the environment as well.
Best of all, Chemours’ knowledgeable experts offer you a complete portfolio of Nafion IMXs, so you’re sure to find the one that’s ideal for your process. Why not learn more about how Nafion IMXs can help maximise uptime, process productivity and profitability in your chlor-alkali facility? And about important criteria to consider when selecting the right high-performance membrane.
