Excerpt from Chlorine Chlorine Products: Including the Manufacture of Bleaching Powder, Hypochlorites, Chlorates, Etc.; With Section on Bromine, Iodine, and Hydrofluoric Acid
The present volume deals with some of the most important products of the Chemical Industry. The element Chlorine has steadily increased, decade by decade, in commercial importance until the present time. The world's annual production of this element cannot be much less than tons - enormous amounts being used in the manufacture of bleaching powder, hypochlorites, chlorates, perchlorates, and certain complex carbon compounds from which synthetic dyes are derived.
The magnitude of the bleaching industry and its close connection with the textile and dyeing trades are too well known to need further comment here.
