This is a historical article, primarily based on the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition. For current information see sodium hydroxide manufacture and Chloralkali process.
Alkali manufacture is the process by which an alkali is made. Typical alkalis, produced commercially, include sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium hydroxide and potassium carbonate.
A number of processes have been proposed for the manufacture of alkali from various metals, the most common being the Leblanc and ammonia-soda processes.[1]
