ClO2 is reddish-yellow gas with a strong stimulating odor smell similar to chlorine and nitric acid. This reddish-yellow gas liquefies to red-brown liquid at 11℃ and crystallizes as bright orange crystals at −59 °C, with boiling point of 11℃, vapour density of 2.3g/L.ClO2 is easy to decompose when exposed to light, and reacts with hot water into hypochlorous acid,chlorine and oxygen. Its solution is relatively stable in shady and cool places. Chlorine Dioxide reacts explosively with many chemical substances, so it’s pretty sensitive to heat, vibration, shock and friction, under which conditions explosion occurs easily due to the decomposition. When affected by heat, light, organic matter or any substances with promotive action to oxidation, the decomposition is promoted and explosion is caused. If diluted with inert gases as air, carbon dioxide and nitrogen, the probability of explosion is lowered. This product is a strong oxidant, with available chlorine 2.6 times more than chlorine. ClO2 is highly corrosive, and can react vigorously with many substances.
Chlorine Dioxide is used as oxidant, deodorant, preservative and bleacher etc. It enjoys a good popularity for the properties of remarkable microbicidal effect, no harm to humans & animals and no secondary pollution to the environment. Chlorine Dioxide does not only serves as a broad- spectrum environmental and carcinogen-free bactericide and disinfectant, but also shows significant effect on killing bacteria, food preserving and deodorizing.
Chlorine Dioxide is a broad-spectrum efficient bactericidal agent. Many studies abroad have shown that even at low concentrations (0.1ppm),ClO?is effective enough to kill many pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli and staphylococcus, or even if interfered by organic substances and at concentration of dozens of ppm, it can kill all microorganism like vegetative forms of bacteria, hepatitis viruses, phage and bacterial spores.
Chlorine Dioxide is an alternative for chlorine as biocide-algaecide in circulating cool water, and the dosage of 30-50mg/L every 2-3 days is preferred. 10 to 15 minutes’ acid-activation treatment should be done before use, then into the circulating pump suction. When used as slime remover, the dosage should be 100-200mg/L.
Chlorine Dioxide should be used immediately after activation treatment.
