Environmental considerations inorganic chemicals

Sodium chloride is used more often than any other material in the manufacture of inorganic chemicals. World consumption of this substance is about 150 million tons per year. The major use of sodium chloride is in the production of other essential inorganic chemicals such as chlorine gas, sodium hydroxide, sodium metal, hydrogen gas, and sodium carbonate. It is also used to melt ice and snow on highways and roads. However, since sodium chloride is harmful to plant life and promotes corrosion of cars, its use for this purpose is of considerable environmental concern. [Pg.337]
