Chlorine, discovered in 1774, is a yellow-green gas at room temperature, highly reactive and belongs to a halogen family and thus a salt-forming element. It is usually available in uncombined form but tends to bond with other elements. Chlorine is as heavy as air, has an intensely choking odor and is extremely poisonous due to which it was used in chemical warfare in World War I. It is extracted from chlorides through mining and electrolysis. In its solid and liquid form it is a powerful oxidizing, disinfecting, and bleaching agent.
The market for chlorine expands with the Increasing demands of plastics, automobile, construction and the flourishing chemical industry, makes Asia-Pacific an appealing market and also marks it as the fastest growing market for chlorine around the world. China is the largest consumer for chlorine commodities. Above 80% of chlorine produced around the world is used as a solvent in pharmaceuticals industry. According to a report by Cision PR Newswire, “ Due to increase in requirement of EDC/PVC, the chlorine market is predicted to observe a CAGR of 4.9% between 2014 and 2019 , and is expected to produce a global market value of $33,362 million by 2019.“ According to a report by the World Chlorine Council (WCC), about 60 metric tons of chlorine is produced annually.

It also emits great amount of mercury and also consumes major amount of electricity. Thus manufacturing process leads to various environmental regulations, which in turn hinder the growth of global chlorine market. Manufacturers of chlorine are finding alternative technologies for its production, taking into consideration of the agreements imposed by the international authorities as well as the government. The manufacturers are focusing on developing technology of producing chlorine by membrane-based technology, reducing the influence on environment.
