Sodium hypochlorite is the active constituent in chlorine bleach. It is an excellent disinfecting agent that is employed in water treatment, cleaning and laundry operations. Transport and handling safety concerns have direct public opinion towards the use of sodium hypochlorite rather than chlorine gas in water treatment, which represents a significant market expansion potential. In this report, it is reviewed the industrial bleach production through the chlorination of caustic soda by chlorine gas in packed columns.
