This was done in agreement with PlasticsEurope.0EU27 including Norway and SwitzerlandSalt (NaCl) recovered from various sources (rock salt, solar salt, solution-mined brine, vacuum salt) is dissolved in water and the resulting brine is purified and fed to the electrolysis unit where the brine is electrochemically decomposed into chlorine, hydrogen, and sodium hydroxide. Three different electrolysis techniques are applied: Mercury, diaphragm, and membrane cell technology.LCI resultOtherno extrapolation68.0referring to covered chlorine production (68 % of 12208 kt in 2011)Questionnaires sent out to all production units in Europe operated by EuroChlor member companies.noneNo statementexternal review passedMatthias SchulzThomas Fröhlich2021-02-01T00:00:00.000ILCD format 1.1Thomas Fröhlich2021-02-01T00:00:00.00000.00.001Data set finalised; entirely publishedtrueFree of charge for all users and usesGaBi (source code, database including extension modules and single data sets, documentation) remains property of Sphera Solutions GmbH.
