<p>The first patent for electrolyzing <a href="Brine" title="Brine">brine</a> was granted in England in 1851 to Charles Watt. His process was not an economically feasible method for producing sodium hydroxide though because it could not prevent the chlorine that formed in the brine solution from reacting with its other constituents. American chemist and engineer, <a href="Hamilton_Castner" title="Hamilton Castner">Hamilton Castner</a>, solved the mixing problem with the invention of the mercury cell and was granted a U.S. patent in 1894.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Austrian chemist, <a href="Carl_Kellner_(mystic)" title="Carl Kellner (mystic)">Carl Kellner</a> arrived at a similar solution at about the same time. In order to avoid a legal battle they became partners in 1895, founding the Castner-Kellner Alkali Company, which built plants employing the process throughout Europe. The mercury cell process continues in use to this day.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Current-day mercury cell plant operations are criticized for environmental release of mercury<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> leading in some cases to severe <a href="Mercury_poisoning" title="Mercury poisoning">mercury poisoning</a> (<a href="Minamata_disease" title="Minamata disease">as occurred in Japan</a>). Due to these concerns, mercury cell plants are being phased out, and a sustained effort is being made to reduce mercury emissions from existing plants.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Process_details">Process details</h2></div>
<p>The apparatus shown is divided into two types of cells separated by <a href="Slate" title="Slate">slate</a> walls. The first type, shown on the right and left of the diagram, uses an electrolyte of sodium chloride solution, a <a href="Graphite" title="Graphite">graphite</a> <a href="Anode" title="Anode">anode</a> (A), and a <a href="Mercury_(element)" title="Mercury (element)">mercury</a> <a href="Cathode" title="Cathode">cathode</a> (M). The other type of cell, shown in the center of the diagram, uses an electrolyte of <a href="Sodium_hydroxide" title="Sodium hydroxide">sodium hydroxide</a> solution, a mercury anode (M), and an iron cathode (D). The mercury electrode is common between the two cells. This is achieved by having the walls separating the cells dip below the level of the electrolytes but still allow the mercury to flow beneath them.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The reaction at anode (A) is:
</p>
<dl><dd>2 Cl<sup>−</sup> → Cl<sub>2</sub> + 2 e<sup>−</sup></dd></dl>
<p>The <a href="Chlorine" title="Chlorine">chlorine</a> gas that results vents at the top of the outside cells where it is collected as a byproduct of the process. The reaction at the mercury cathode in the outer cells is
</p>
<dl><dd>Na<sup>+</sup> + e<sup>−</sup> → Na (amalgam)</dd></dl>
<p>The <a href="Sodium" title="Sodium">sodium</a> metal formed by this reaction dissolves in the mercury to form an <a href="Amalgam_(chemistry)" title="Amalgam (chemistry)">amalgam</a>. The mercury conducts the current from the outside cells to the center cell. In addition, a rocking mechanism (B shown by fulcrum on the left and rotating eccentric on the right) agitates the mercury to transport the dissolved sodium metal from the outside cells to the center cell.
</p><p>The anode reaction in the center cell takes place at the interface between the mercury and the sodium hydroxide solution.
</p>
<dl><dd>2Na (amalgam) → 2Na<sup>+</sup> + 2e<sup>−</sup></dd></dl>
<p>Finally at the iron cathode (D) of the center cell the reaction is
</p>
<dl><dd>2H<sub>2</sub>O + 2e<sup>−</sup> → 2OH<sup>−</sup> + H<sub>2</sub></dd></dl>
<p>The net effect is that the concentration of sodium chloride in the outside cells decreases and the concentration of sodium hydroxide in the center cell increases. As the process continues, some sodium hydroxide solution is withdrawn from center cell as output product and is replaced with water. Sodium chloride is added to the outside cells to replace what has been electrolyzed.
