Still suggest electrolysis because salt are renewable, but here are other ineffective methods

Manganese method:
2 NaCl + 2 H2SO4 + MnO2 → Na2SO4 + MnSO4 + 2 H2O + Cl2
MnSO4 can be recycled back to MnO2, via electrolysis (you cannot avoid it)
MnSO4 + 2 H2O = MnO2 + H2SO4 + H2 (electrolysis)

Deacon process:
4HCl + O2 = 2 Cl2 + 2 H2O (RuO2-TiO2 as catalyst)
Ruthenium is very rare, though RuO2 is reusable after the reaction

Though

#

Hcl need cl to make

#

🥲

#

oh not necessary

#

NaCl + H2SO4 = NaHSO4 + HCl

lucid raven
#

Hmm

strong shore
#

without heating

#

2 NaCl + H2SO4 = Na2SO4 + 2 HCl (with heat)

🥲

#

Ok

#

Electrolysis

#

🥲

strong shore
#

yea electrolysis

#

chemistry is torturing anyway

#

may i ask? what is the importance of chlorine in the mod?

strong shore
#

Many compounds and reactions need chlorine to work. Namely bleach, chloroalkanes (including chloroform), plastics (PVC) and so much more

#

and also hydrochloric acid, you will see it everywhere

#

oh cool

#

im sorry if i sound a bit dumb (i have not learned chemistry in school yet)

strong shore
#

it is fine

#

it is not dumb to be curious, ask whenever you want

viscid berry

alright, thanks
