Chlorine Dioxide Properties
|
Molecular formula: ClO2
Yellowish, volatile gas at room temperature Chlorine type odour Highly soluble, remains in the water a true, dissolved gas Inorganic free radical in oxidation state +4 Inactivation by electron exchange in lieu of chlorine atom exchange Favourable environmental footprint (green chemistry) Excellent antimicrobial properties over a wide pH range (2-10) Used for potable water treatment since 1944; commonly employed in many other industries EU, USEPA approved, listed in WHO Drinking Water Quality Guidelines |
Chlorine Dioxide Benefits
Broad spectrum antimicrobial efficacy; germicide, virucide, fungicide, sporicide, algaecide, slimicide
Unique inactivation mechanism; oxidation of genetic machinery, no known immunity building by microorganisms
Powerful oxidising agent; more than twice the oxidative capacity of chlorine, but has lower oxidation strength
Fast acting, selective oxidation chemistry
Oxidises without chlorinating, no (eco)toxic or carcinogenic halogenated disinfection by-products (THMs, HAAs, AOX)
Residual biocidal activity
Minimises corrosion to processing equipment, tanks and lines
Improved aesthetics (taste and odour control)
Removes biofilm from water distribution systems
