A Brief Introduction of Chlorine Dioxide

In recent years, many respiratory infections have occurred worldwide, and disinfectants have played a major role in the control of the epidemic.

Chlorine dioxide disinfectant is the only high-efficiency disinfectant among the internationally recognized chlorine-containing disinfectants. Chlorine dioxide can kill all microorganisms, including bacterial propagules, bacterial spores, fungi, mycobacteria and viruses, etc., and these bacteria Will not develop resistance. It has strong adsorption and penetration ability to microbial cell walls, can effectively oxidize the enzymes containing sulfhydryl groups in cells, and can quickly inhibit the synthesis of microbial proteins to destroy the disinfection and sterilization performance of microorganisms

Drinking water is sanitary and safe is directly related to human life and health. At present, the World Health Organization and the World Food and Agriculture Organization have recommended AI-level broad-spectrum, safe and efficient disinfectant chlorine dioxide to the world. The US Environmental Protection Agency regards chlorine dioxide as the disinfectant of choice to replace liquid chlorine, and has specified its use for drinking water disinfection. Italy not only uses chlorine dioxide to treat drinking water, but also uses it to control biological pollution in water and cooling water systems such as steel mills, power plants, pulp mills, and petrochemical plants.

The price of chlorine dioxide is also approachable, lower than that of general disinfectants, which makes people more inclined to use chlorine dioxide as a disinfectant, which is convenient for people to buy and use.

Now let me summarize the advantages of chlorine dioxide:

Chlorine dioxide has stronger inhibitory effect on water viruses, cryptosporidium and other microorganisms than chlorine gas.
Chlorine dioxide can oxidize iron ions (Fe2+), manganese ions (Mn2+) and sulfides in water.
Chlorine dioxide can enhance the water purification process.
Chlorine dioxide can effectively control the phenolic compounds in the water and the odor produced by algae and spoiled plants.
No halogenated by-products are formed.
Chlorine dioxide is easy to prepare
The biological characteristics are not affected by the pH value of the water.
Chlorine dioxide can maintain a certain residual amount.
