De Nora An electrolytic process for making chlorine and sodium hydroxide solution from brine. The cell has a mercury cathode and graphite anodes. It was developed in the 1950s by the Italian company Oronzio De Nora, Impianti Elettrochimici, Milan, based on work by I. G. Farbenindustrie in Germany during World War II. In 1958 the Monsanto Chemical Company introduced it into the United States in its plant at Anniston, AL. See also Mercury cell. [Pg.83]

The main mercury cathode electrolytic cells used in the industry were developed chiefly by De Nora and Uhde, and to a lesser extent by IC1, Krebs Kureha, Olin and Solvay. [Pg.182]
