Description :

Overview of Chlorine Dioxide

Chlorine Dioxide is a powerful oxidising agent widely used for disinfection, bleaching, and microbial control across multiple industries. Unlike elemental chlorine, Chlorine Dioxide works through oxidation rather than chlorination, making it highly effective at low concentrations with minimal formation of harmful by-products.

It is extensively used in water treatment, pulp and paper bleaching, food processing, sanitation, and industrial hygiene applications. In water treatment systems, Chlorine Dioxide is often preferred over Chlorine Gas and Sodium Hypochlorite due to its higher efficacy against bacteria, viruses, and biofilms. ChemicalBull supplies Chlorine Dioxide solutions suitable for controlled industrial and commercial applications.

Applications of Chlorine Dioxide

Water Treatment and Disinfection

Chlorine Dioxide is widely used in drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment, and cooling tower systems. It effectively controls bacteria, viruses, algae, and biofilms without forming chlorinated organic compounds. In many systems, it is used as an alternative to Chlorine Gas and Sodium Hypochlorite for safer and more efficient disinfection.

Pulp and Paper Industry

In the pulp and paper industry, Chlorine Dioxide is used as a bleaching agent to improve pulp brightness while preserving fibre strength. It is commonly used alongside Hydrogen Peroxide to achieve high-quality, environmentally compliant bleaching results.

Food Processing and Sanitation

Chlorine Dioxide is used for surface sanitation, equipment cleaning, and microbial control in food processing plants. It helps maintain hygiene standards without leaving harmful residues, making it suitable for food-contact environments when applied correctly.

Industrial Hygiene and Odour Control

In industrial facilities, Chlorine Dioxide is used for odour neutralisation and air treatment. It effectively eliminates odour-causing bacteria and organic contaminants, often outperforming traditional disinfectants like Bleaching Powder.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• Handle only by trained personnel in controlled conditions

• Store away from heat, sunlight, and incompatible materials

• Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)

• Ensure proper ventilation during application

• Follow all regulatory and safety guidelines strictly
