As in all chemical engineering, a major trend has been towards the complete utilization of all raw materials and energy and, for example, all heat from exothermic reactions or Joule heating is used elsewhere in the plant. Moreover the plants have had to change in order to comply with the legal requirement to monitor and control emissions of possible pollutants in the chlor-alkali industry the major concerns have been mercury and chlorine itself.
