CONT

Most of the chlorine produced in the world is manufactured by electrolysis of sodium chloride brine. Two processes are in common use: the mercury cell process and the diaphragm cell process.

CONT

In production of chlorine by the diaphragm cell process, salt is dissolved in water and stored as a saturated solution. ... The purified saturated brine is then fed to the cell which typically is a rectangular box. It uses vertical anodes ... The cathode is perforated metal which supports the asbestos diaphragm. ... The diaphragm serves to separate the anolyte (the feed brine) from the catholyte (brine containing caustic soda). Chlorine is evolved at the anode.
