Chlorine Gas is a chemical element; it has symbol Cl and atomic number 17. The second-lightest of the halogens, it appears between fluorine and bromine in the periodic table and its properties are mostly intermediate between them.

Chlorine Gas is a yellow-green gas at room temperature. It is an extremely reactive element and a strong oxidising agent: among the elements, it has the highest electron affinity and the third-highest electronegativity on the revised Pauling scale, behind only oxygen and fluorine.

In Nuclear Tech Mod, Chlorine Gas plays a somewhat important paper in the creation of PVC bars, component used in many different things the mod offers, just like its counterpart, hard plastic. It is a corrosive and toxic gas, being also used to make chlorine gas artillery shells, being an option to use against your enemies if you are playing in a server with your friends or random players, dealing 2.0 DPS and other harmful effects to players inside the gas cloud.

Other than that, chlorine gas has its fair share of ways of production and uses, being mostly important as said before in the creation of PVC, or polyvinyl-carbonate, for different things on the mod, but it also allows the creation of other important fluids the mod has, such as phosgene and high-perfomance solvent.

Geysers of chlorine gas can also be found through your world, shooting chlorine gas upwards. If you come close to it and some of the particles touch your player, they will inflict potion effects like Slowness II, Poison III, Mining Fatigue III and Blindness all with different intervals of time. Geysers like these can be used to power a geothermal electric generator, and below one, you can find 4 blocks of yellowcake.

Production

Chlorine Gas can be produced in a total of 6 ways, being 4 in a Combination Furnace and 2 in the Electrolysis Machine.

In the Combination Furnace:

1 Chlorocalcite > 1 Calcium Powder + 250mB Chlorine Gas
1 Molysite > 1 Iron Ingot + 250mB Chlorine Gas
1 Sodalite > 1 Sodium + 100mB Chlorine Gas
1 Glowstone Dust > 1 Sulfur + 100mB Chlorine Gas

Uses

Chlorine Gas has quite the few uses in the mod, as mentioned before, one of its major uses is the creation of PVC bars, which place a important role in the mod progression, along side its counterpart which is hard plastic. Let us go over the machines it uses: 2 recipes in Chemical Plant / 3 in the Ore Acidizer and 4 in the Industrial Mixer. Firstly, a look in both recipes in the Chemical Plant:

Trivia

Real Life Facts:

Chlorine played an important role in the experiments conducted by medieval alchemists, which commonly involved the heating of chloride salts like ammonium chloride (sal ammoniac) and sodium chloride (common salt), producing various chemical substances containing chlorine such as hydrogen chloride, mercury(II) chloride (corrosive sublimate), and aqua regia.

Because of its great reactivity, all chlorine in the Earth's crust is in the form of ionic chloride compounds, which includes table salt. It is the second-most abundant halogen (after fluorine) and twenty-first most abundant chemical element in Earth's crust. These crustal deposits are nevertheless dwarfed by the huge reserves of chloride in seawater.
