Chlorine Dioxide Do You Really Need It? This
Will Help You Decide!

• What is Chlorine Dioxide?
• Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) is a chemical compound
  that consists of one chlorine atom and two oxygen
  atoms. Its a yellow or yellow-reddish gas and is
  very highly reactive especially when it is
  heated. When its exposed to the air, the
  sunlight breaks it into chlorine gas and oxygen.
  Chlorine Dioxide turns to a liquid below 11ºC and
  also can be frozen into an orange-colored solid.

• Because of its volatile property, its very
  difficult to store or transport safely. So,
  usually, its manufactured in solution form at
  the point of use or when needed. Chlorine
  Dioxide, when dissolved in water, is an efficient
  disinfectant because of which its used for a
  variety of antimicrobial uses, including the
  disinfection of drinking water. It is generally
  produced onsite from Sodium Chlorite or Sodium
  Chlorate.

• How is it Produced
• For the production of chlorine dioxide gas,
  Hypochlorite acid ( HCl ) or chlorine is brought
  together with Sodium Chlorite.
• 2NaClO2 Cl2 2ClO2 2NaCl
• Chlorine dioxide can also be produced by the
  reaction of sodium hypochlorite with hydrochloric
  acid
• HCl NaOCl 2NaClO2 2ClO2 2NaCl NaOH

Types of chlorination used in water
treatment There are generally 3 main methods
that are used for chlorinating water, depending
upon the strength of the disinfectant
required. Chlorine compound can be mixed with
water as Liquid ( In the form of sodium
hypochlorite ) Solid, in the form of powder,
granules, or tablets, made from calcium
hypochlorite, chlorinated isocyanurates, or
lithium hypochlorite Gas ( only used under
special conditions). When chlorine or chlorine
is added to the water, it releases hypochlorous
acid, HOCl. Hydrolysis of chlorine gas Cl2 H2O
? HOCl H Cl- The amount of chlorine in the
water in these forms is referred to as Free
Chlorine. The reaction of chlorine with organics
to form compounds such as chloramines is referred
to as combined chlorine.

Benefits of Chlorine Dioxide Water Treatment As
an efficient biocide, it has so many
applications. It kills bacteria, viruses, fungi,
and pathogens on hard surfaces as well as within
the water supply systems which includes cooling
towers, swimming pools, etc. It can also be used
in sanitization processes at each stage of
agricultural production, distribution, and
storage. It can also be used as a disinfectant
for big buildings like office blocks, hospitals,
laboratories especially for those which might
be vulnerable to legionella growth within their
water supply. It can also be used as an
all-around sanitizer and antimicrobials sector
across the hospitality sector.

• Advantages
• It is 2.6 times more powerful than bleaching
  which makes it of a wide spectrum of sanitizing
  uses and makes it exceptionally effective against
  viruses, bacteria, and pathogens.
• It has a wider pH spectrum than chlorine which
  makes it more versatile in a variety of
  application situations.
• It is registered with EPA and its also
  considered an excellent bactericide, fungicide,
  and antimicrobial agent.
• The FDA and the U.S Department of Agriculture
  (USDA) have approved Chlorine Dioxide and Sodium
  Chlorite in food processing plants for sanitizing
  and controlling bacteria, viruses, and molds.

It can also be used on food-contact surfaces at a
diluted concentration as low as 5 ppm. It is
also very economical. It can also be used for
odor control, sanitation, and water purification
uses. Pristine Water offers an exclusive
