2. Prices of chemical elements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prices_of_chemical_elements

   As chlorine is manufactured together with sodium hydroxide in chloralkali process, relative demand for one product changes the price for the other. When demand for sodium hydroxide is relatively high, chlorine price can fall to arbitrarily low levels, even to zero. [30] 18: Ar: Argon: 0.0017837: 3.5 (9.695 × 10 16 kg) 0.931: 0.001 66: 2019 ...

3. Sodium hydroxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hydroxide

   Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, [1] [2] is an inorganic compound with the formula NaOH. It is a white solid ionic compound consisting of sodium cations Na + and hydroxide anions OH −. Sodium hydroxide is a highly corrosive base and alkali that decomposes lipids and proteins at ambient temperatures and may cause severe ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodity_chemicals

   Commodity chemicals (or bulk commodities or bulk chemicals) are a group of chemicals that are made on a very large scale to satisfy global markets. The average prices of commodity chemicals are regularly published in the chemical trade magazines and web sites such as Chemical Week and ICIS .

5. Lye - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lye

   A lye refers to sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. The word lye most accurately refers to sodium hydroxide (NaOH), [citation needed] but historically has been conflated to include other alkali materials, most notably potassium hydroxide (KOH). In order to distinguish between the two, sodium hydroxide may be referred to as soda lye while ...

6. Chloralkali process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloralkali_process

   The process has a high energy consumption, for example around 2,500 kWh (9,000 MJ) of electricity per tonne of sodium hydroxide produced. Because the process yields equivalent amounts of chlorine and sodium hydroxide (two moles of sodium hydroxide per mole of chlorine), it is necessary to find a use for these products in the same proportion ...

7. Sodium - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium

   Sodium was first isolated by Humphry Davy in 1807 by the electrolysis of sodium hydroxide. Among many other useful sodium compounds, sodium hydroxide is used in soap manufacture, and sodium chloride (edible salt) is a de-icing agent and a nutrient for animals including humans. Sodium is an essential element for all animals and some plants.
