Chemical sodium hypochlorite

Representative Chemical Sodium hypochlorite Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number CAS 7681-52-9 (sodium hypochlorite)... 

As an industrial chemical, sodium hypochlorite is a low-cost commodity item. Its price varies according to market demand and fluctuations in the prices of chlorine and sodium hydroxide. In addition, production capacity is much greater than the amount produced. Based on available chlorine, sodium hypochlorite is the least costly form of hypochlorite and lithium hypochlorite is... 

Thiol spills are handled ia the same manner that all chemical spills are handled, with the added requirement that the odor be eliminated as rapidly as possible. In general, the leak should be stopped, the spill should be contained, and then the odor should be reduced. The odor can be reduced by sprayiag the spill area with sodium hypochlorite (3% solution), calcium hypochlorite solution (3%), or hydrogen peroxide (3—10% solution). The use of higher concentrations of oxidant gives strongly exothermic reactions, which iacrease the amount of thiol ia the vapor, as well as pose a safety ha2ard. The apphcation of an adsorbent prior to addition of the oxidant can be quite helpful and add to the ease of cleanup. 

High yields of NaOCl are obtained electrolyticaHy by oxidation of CT at dimensionally stable anodes (219). Sodium hypochlorite is prepared using small diaphragmless or membrane cells, with a capacity of 1—150 kg/d of equivalent CI2, which produce a dilute hypochlorite solution of 1—3 and 5—6 g/L from seawater and brine, respectively (see Chemicals from brine). They are employed in sewage and wastewater treatment and in commercial laundries, large swimming pools, and aboard ships. 

Sodium chlorite is used to produce chlorine dioxide by chemical oxidation, electrochemical oxidation methods, or by acidification with acids. Most of the commercial methods employ chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. 

Water from cooling tower pump suction, pH 8.6-8.8, pressure 20-30 psi (140-210 kPa), flow 2-5 ft/s (0.2 to 1.5 m/s). Dispersant, 1-3 ppm tolyltriazole, sodium hypochlorite 2 hr/day to 0.8 free residual chlorine 0.6-0.8 ppm total zinc and 0.1-0.2 ppm soluble zinc. Free chlorine maintained at 1 ppm for 5 consecutive days/month during the summer. Chemical treatment started after 2 years of no treatment. Water conductivity -612 ( imhos/cm), turbidity 27 NTU (nephelometric turbidity units), chloride 110 ppm, sulfate 50 ppm, carbonate alkalinity (CaCOa) 27 ppm, bicarbonate alkalinity (CaCOs) 118 ppm... 

Transfer of an active chemical agent in an inherently safer form (e.g. sulphur dioxide as sodium metabisulphite, chlorine as sodium hypochlorite). Generation of an active agent in this manner clearly reduces the inventory in use. 

MIcrobiocldes. There are several microbiocides available commercially that can perform an effective function in controlling microbial activity. Some of these chemicals are inorganic, such as chlorine, sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, chromates and compounds of mercury and silver. However, the organic chemicals find the highest use as microbiocides. Some examples of these organic compounds are peracetic acid, paraformaldehyde, polychlorophenols and quaternary ammonium derivatives, to name a few [208]. 

This is a special chemical effectively used for column bioreactors. It is a volatile compound and strong oxidising agent. It boils at ambient temperature, therefore the solution of ethylene oxide (liquid phase) must be stored in a refrigerator (4 °C). An excellent oxidising agent such as a 3% sodium hypochlorite is used for chemical sterilisation of equipment. 

Method Cyanide is destroyed by reaction with sodium hypochlorite under alkaline conditions. System component Reaction tanks, a reagent storage and feed system, mixers, sensors, and controls two identical reaction tanks sized as the above-ground cylindrical tank with a retention time of 4 h. Chemical storage consists of covered concrete tanks to store 60 d supply of sodium hypochlorite and 90 d supply of sodium hydroxide.
