Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), commonly known as Caustic Soda, is an alkali salt. Industrially, it is often referred to as Lye. The electrolysis of Brine solution gives out caustic soda as a product, in the presence of Titanium as an anode and a Mercury layer as the cathode. Evaporation of Sodium hydroxide solution gives solid Sodium Hydroxide, which is pure. This process is known as the Castner-Kellner process.
