A technical and socio-economic comparison of options to products derived from the chlor-alkali industry : final report / prepared for Environment Canada ; prepared by CHEMinfo Services Inc.: En4-397/1997E-PDF
"The report presents a technical and socio-economic comparison of the products derived from chlor-alkali industry with options to the use of these products in the Canadian economy. Chlor-alkali products are defined as products originating from the electrolysis of sodium chloride into elemental chlorine and caustic soda. The scope of chlor-alkali products investigated falls into three broad categories: 1. base commodities produced by the chlor-alkali industry (e.g., elemental chlorine, caustic soda, hydrochloric acid); 2. polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin products (e.g., pipe, siding, windows, flooring, wire & cable, bottles, film & sheet); and 3. other chlorinated substances (e.g., household bleach, chlorinated solvents, refrigerants, flame retardants, etc.). The purpose of this report is to provide a background document for individuals, industry groups and government departments interested in products derived from the chlor-alkali industry and options to the use of those products in Canada. The report is not, and should not be interpreted as, an economic impact analysis (EIA) of a chlorine phase-out ..."--Executive summary.
