Chlorine is produced in large scale by the electrolysis of brine in Down's cell. In the process, chlorine is given off at the anode.
Equation at the anode:
2Cl- —> Cl2 +e-

Explanation:
Chlorine is produced on a large scale using the chlor-alkali process, which involves the electrolysis of concentrated sodium chloride (brine) solution. This process produces chlorine gas at the anode, hydrogen gas at the cathode, and sodium hydroxide in solution.

Reactions at the electrodes:
At the anode (oxidation)
At the cathode (reduction)



This is the most efficient and industrially viable method for large-scale chlorine production.
