Chlorine Dioxide Production from Chlorine
Chlorine Dioxide Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
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.
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.

The process under analysis comprises two major sections: (1) sodium chlorate synthesis; and (2) sodium chlorate reduction.
Sodium Chlorate Synthesis. A brine solution recycled from the Sodium Chlorate Reduction section is subjected to electrolysis, forming sodium chlorite and hydrogen. Sodium chlorite is converted into sodium chlorate through a chemical reaction, that begins to occur in the electrolyzers and is only completed in the retention tank downstream. The hydrogen formed leaves the electrolyzers as a gaseous stream and is passed through two scrubbing stages before being routed to the hydrogen chloride furnace in the sodium chlorate reduction section.
Sodium Chlorate Reduction. The hydrogen gas is fed to a furnace together with a fresh chlorine feed for production of hydrogen chloride. The hydrogen chloride generated is cooled and sent to the Chlorine Dioxide Generators, where it is used in the reduction reaction of the sodium chlorate sent from the retention tank. The reduction reaction generates Chlorine Dioxide, sodium chloride, water and chlorine. Sodium chloride is recovered and recycled as a brine solution to the sodium chlorate synthesis section. Chlorine Dioxide, in turn, leaves the reactor as a gaseous stream along with chlorine. That gaseous stream is fed into absorber columns, from which a Chlorine Dioxide solution is obtained. Unabsorbed chlorine is washed with a dilute sodium hydroxide stream, thus forming a sodium hypochlorite solution.
