Inorganic manufacturing industry

Much of the CI2O manufactured industrially is used to make hypochlorites, particularly Ca(OCl)2, and it is an effective bleach for wood-pulp and textiles. CI2O is also used to prepare chloroisocyanurates (p. 324) and chlorinated solvents (via mixed chain reactions in which Cl and OCl are the chain-propagating species).Its reactions with inorganic reagents are summarized in the scheme opposite. 

Electrochemistry is, of course, commercially very well established in the inorganic chemicals industry—for example, for the manufacture of chlorine, aluminum, sodium, and sodium hydroxide, inter alia.
