Full Description

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is an alternative oxidant to chlorine for the treatmentof drinking water. ClO2 must be produced on site by the oxidation of chlorite ionor the reduction of chlorate ion. Each generation technology ultimately producesClO2; however, the final product (composition and purity) can be very different.Discussions on ClO2 purity have typically focused on chlorine. Other potentialimpurities include chlorite ion, chlorate ion, acid, hydrogen peroxide, and insome cases perchlorate ion. Experimental data are presented to show similaritiesand potential differences in product composition. Includes 39 references, tables, figures.
