Chloroalkali chemical industry and ethylene glycol are two common chemical substances in the chemical industry, and they have many differences in production and application processes. This article will introduce the differences between the two in terms of scale, production, use, and environmental impact

In terms of scale, chlor alkali chemical industry is a huge industrial system, including three categories of industries: chlor alkali preparation, chlorine chemical industry, and alkali chemical industry. It mainly uses sodium chlorate as raw material to produce sodium hydroxide and chlorine gas through electrolysis, and then undergoes a series of chemical reactions to obtain chlor alkali products. Ethylene glycol is a single organic compound with a relatively small production scale

In the production process, chlor alkali chemical industry requires high-temperature and high-pressure equipment and complex process flow. The production process is relatively complex, and it also involves the handling of some hazardous substances and safety issues. The production of ethylene glycol is relatively simple, mainly obtained through the synthesis of ethylene and water, and the production process is relatively stable

In terms of usage, chlor alkali chemical products are widely used in many fields such as metallurgy, building materials, electronics, textiles, pharmaceuticals, etc. For example, sodium hydroxide is used as a neutralizing agent, leaching agent, ore supplement agent, etc. Chlorine gas has a wide range of applications in water treatment, disinfection, and as a chlorine production agent. Ethylene glycol is mainly used to prepare organic compounds such as esters, ethers, polyethers, and resins, and is widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, plastics, textiles, and inks

In terms of environmental impact, the production process of chlor alkali chemical industry will produce a large amount of harmful gases such as chlorine and hydrogen chloride, causing certain pollution to the environment. The production of ethylene glycol is relatively environmentally friendly and has a relatively small impact on the environment

In summary, there are significant differences between chlor alkali chemical industry and ethylene glycol in terms of scale, production, use, and environmental impact. Understanding these differences helps us better understand and utilize these two chemical substances, promote the development of the chemical industry, and carry out environmental protection work.
