Our product is High Quality Chlorine Dioxide with the CAS number 10049-04-4. Chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) is an unstable, powerful oxidizing and disinfecting gas at room temperature and pressure. It has a characteristic pungent odor similar to chlorine but is less irritating.
Regarding its physical properties, it has a molecular weight of approximately 67.45 g/mol. It is soluble in water, forming a yellow - greenish solution. It is highly reactive and can decompose explosively under certain conditions, such as high concentrations, heat, or exposure to light. Therefore, it is usually produced and used on - site rather than being stored for long periods.
1. Water Treatment: Chlorine dioxide is widely used in water treatment processes. It can effectively kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi in water. It is also capable of removing unpleasant odors and tastes from water, making it suitable for drinking water purification. In addition, it can prevent the growth of biofilms in water supply systems, ensuring the safety and cleanness of the water distribution network.
2. Food Industry: In the food industry, it is used as a disinfectant for food contact surfaces, equipment, and packaging materials. It can also be used to treat fruits and vegetables to extend their shelf - life by reducing the microbial load on their surfaces, thus maintaining the freshness and quality of the food products.
3. Pulp and Paper Industry: Chlorine dioxide is used in the bleaching process of pulp. Compared with traditional chlorine - based bleaching agents, it produces less harmful by - products, such as dioxins. This makes the paper production process more environmentally friendly and the final paper products of higher quality.
1. On - site Generation: Since chlorine dioxide is unstable, it is often generated on - site. There are several common methods for its generation, such as the reaction between sodium chlorite and an acid. The appropriate chemical reactants should be carefully measured according to the required concentration of chlorine dioxide.
2. Dosage: The dosage of chlorine dioxide depends on the specific application. For water treatment, the typical dosage is in the range of 0.1 - 10 mg/L, depending on the water quality and the degree of disinfection required. In the food industry, the concentration used for surface disinfection may vary from 5 - 200 ppm, again depending on the type of surface and the microbial contamination level.
3. Safety Precautions: When handling chlorine dioxide, proper personal protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, should be worn. It should be used in a well - ventilated area to avoid the accumulation of high - concentration gas, which can be dangerous. In case of accidental exposure, immediate first - aid measures should be taken according to the type of exposure (inhalation, skin contact, etc.).
1. Water Treatment in a Small Town: A small town with a population of about 5000 had been facing problems with waterborne diseases due to the high microbial content in its water supply. They started using chlorine dioxide for water treatment. The town installed an on - site chlorine dioxide generation system. At first, they set the dosage at 0.5 mg/L. After a week, the microbial count in the water dropped significantly. The incidence of waterborne diseases also decreased by 60% within a month. After three months of continuous use, the water quality met the national drinking water standards, and the residents reported an improvement in the taste and odor of the water.
2. Food Processing Plant: A food processing plant that produces fresh - cut vegetables was struggling with a high rate of product spoilage. They decided to use chlorine dioxide for disinfecting their food contact surfaces and raw materials. They used a 50 ppm chlorine dioxide solution to spray on the cutting boards, conveyor belts, and other equipment. For the vegetables, they soaked them in a 10 ppm chlorine dioxide solution for 5 minutes. As a result, the shelf - life of the fresh - cut vegetables increased from 3 days to 7 days, and the spoilage rate decreased from 15% to 3%.
