Abstract

The first three sections of this chapter discuss the processing and handUng of the products of electrolysis. Section 9.1, related to chlorine, comprises most of the chapter. Sections 9.2 and 9.3 then cover hydrogen and caustic soda or potash. Section 9.4 discusses applications of several byproducts that are sometimes found useful.
