Chlorine and caustic soda production is the industrial process of splitting salt (sodium chloride) and water molecules using electricity to produce chlorine gas, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and hydrogen.
These chemicals are essential for water treatment and the production of paper, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and many other industries, making this process a cornerstone of modern industrial production and public health.

In chlor-alkali production, cathodes drive the reduction reaction of H+ ions from the water molecule into hydrogen gas, leaving hydroxide ions in solution to form caustic soda (NaOH). Cathode performance directly affects energy consumption, product purity, and overall cell efficiency.
De Nora’s cathodes are designed with advanced MMO and noble-metal coatings applied on robust and high-quality substrates, ensuring:
EFFICIENCY
Reducing energy use while maintaining high production levels of hydrogen and NaOH.
RELIABILITY
Stable cell operation ensures continuous production under high current densities.
DURABILITY
Cathodes withstand stress, minimizing maintenance and downtime.
