Bondalti products
Industrial Chemicals - Chlor-Alkali
Bondalti - Hydrochloric Acid
Its formula is HCl. At room temperature, Hydrochloric Acid is a colourless of yellowish gas. It`s usually an aqueous solution, with no colour and a very strong odour. Even in weaker concentrations, it`s still very active, and is sold as Muriatic Acid, an effective remover of humidity stains in several surfaces. It`s one of the gastric acids occurring in our stomach. In Bondalti, Hydrochloric Acid is supplied in its commercial shape, in bulk. Industrially, this product is obtained by the hydrochloric gas in demineralised water. In turn, hydrochloric gas is obtained through the hydrogen combustion in gaseous chlorine. The discovery of hydrochloric acid is attributed by some to a Persian alchemist, Abu Musa Jabir ibn ?ayyan, however, it was most probably discovered somewhere in the Middle Ages.
Chlorine
Chlorine is widely abundant in nature, with the symbol Cl and the atomic number 17. Its name derives from the Greek "khlorós", which means greenish. In Bondalti, Chlorine is supplied in bulk or in containers/bottles. In contemporary Chlorine production, gaseous chlorine derived from sodium chloride electrolysis is cooled, filtered, dried, purified and compressed to allow for its liquefaction and storage.
Bondalti - Sodium Hypochlorite (NaClO)
This substance has the formula NaClO. If highly diluted, this product is commonly known as bleach. In Bondalti, Sodium Hypochlorite is supplied in bulk. It`s obtained from the cold absorption of gaseous chlorine in a sodium hydroxide solution. The current production method is the Hooker process, in which Sodium Hypochlorite and sodium chloride are made by running chlorine through a diluted solution cooled with sodium hydroxide.
Bondalti - Caustic Soda
Sodium Hydroxide has the chemical formula NaOH, and is better known as Caustic Soda. It`s a whitish solid, easily soluble in water. This is a strong base, which should be handled with care. In Bondalti, Sodium Hydroxide is supplied in bulk, in concentrations of 32% and 50%. Sodium Hydroxide is co-produced in sodium chlorine electrolysis. Chlorine, sodium hydroxide and hydrogen are obtained from the electrolysis of sodium chlorine in aqueous solution, designated chlor-alkali process.
