Chlorine Dioxide from Sodium Chlorate (Hydrochloric Acid Process)
Chlorine Dioxide Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This study presents the costs associated with the construction of a plant for Chlorine Dioxide production from sodium chlorate in the United States. This process is based on the reduction of sodium chlorate, using hydrochloric acid as reducing agent, to produce Chlorine Dioxide.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Chlorine Dioxide production and related Chlorine Dioxide production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Chlorine Dioxide production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Chlorine Dioxide plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Chlorine Dioxide plant operating costs (Opex).
The Chlorine Dioxide production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Chlorine Dioxide plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Chlorine Dioxide plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.

Product
Chlorine Dioxide. Chlorine Dioxide (a.k.a. ClO2) is a very unstable gas, which easily decomposes into chlorine and oxygen when exposed to light or mild heating. This gas is a potent oxidizing agent, widely used in disinfection applications.
Raw Materials
Sodium Chlorate. Sodium Chlorate is an oxidizing agent used in the production of chlorine dioxide for bleaching paper pulp and in herbicides. It is valued for its strong oxidizing properties and efficiency in industrial applications. Sodium chlorate is produced through the electrolysis of sodium chloride solution and stored as a crystalline solid.
Hydrochloric Acid. Hydrogen Chloride (HCl), commonly found as hydrochloric acid (a.k.a. muriatic acid) when dissolved in water, is a highly important industrial chemical. Hydrochloric acid has widespread applications in various industries, with major uses in steel pickling, pH control, water treatment, and as a catalyst in chemical synthesis. It is also employed in the production of chlorides, fertilizers, dyes, and in food processing. Hydrogen chloride is primarily produced through the direct synthesis of hydrogen and chlorine, or as a by-product of chlorination reactions in various organic processes. The HCl gas can be absorbed in water to produce aqueous hydrochloric acid, which is the form most widely used industrially.

Chlorine Dioxide Production from Chlorine
This study presents the costs associated with the construction of a plant for Chlorine Dioxide production from chlorine in the United States. Initially, sodium chlorate is produced from caustic soda and hydrochloric acid solution via electrolysis. Hydrogen and chlorine are reacted in a furnace to form the pure hydrogen chloride. The sodium chlorate formed is then reduced with the hydrogen chloride to chlorine dioxide.

Hydrogen Chloride Production from Polyvinyl Chloride Waste
This study approaches the economics of gaseous Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) production from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) waste in the United States. The process under analysis is a pyrolysis conducted in two continuous reactors. Initially, HCl and chlorinated hydrocarbons (Cl-HCs) are removed from the plastic in the first reactor and HCl is purified. The plastic is then sent to a second reactor to finish pyrolysis and, finally, the pyrolysis gases are directed to distillation to produce benzene and fuel oil as by-products
