Differentiating between electroplating and chemical production, this program explores the chemistry and basic operation of aluminium smelting; sodium production (using the Downs cell); and chlorine and NaOH production (using the membrane cell). It teaches how to ues Faraday’s laws of electrolysis and perform calculations for both aluminium and sodium production.
