Electrochlorination is a process that involves the generation of chlorine through the electrolysis of brine (a concentrated solution of sodium chloride or similar salts) in water. This method utilizes electrical energy to drive the reaction, enabling the production of chlorine gas (Cl₂) or sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) directly in situ, which can be used for various applications, primarily in water treatment, disinfection, and other industrial processes.
