process:kelner salvay 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. In Karl Kellner solved the mixing problem with the invention of the mercury cell and was granted a U.S. patent in 1892 Austrian chemist, Hamilton Castner. 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. Charles Watt was granted in England in 1851 to brineThe first patent for electrolyzing
  1. Eletrolyte: NaCl solution.
  2. Anode:Graphite rod.
  3. Cathode:Flowing Hg(Mercury).
