Hypochlorite chlorination

A study of the North American bleaching agent market was completed in June 1988 and includes consumption quantities for the year 1986 (156). Chlorine consumption for 1986 was 1.86 x 10 t. The North American consumption volume of other chlorine-containing bleaching compounds including sodium and calcium hypochlorite, chlorinated isocyanurates, and hydantoins was 286,000 t. The 1986 North American consumption of sodium chlorate was estimated at 5.5 x 10 t. 

Elemental chlorine is used in industrial appHcations, but chlorine is more readily dispensed in the form of hypochlorites. Chlorine reacts with water to give hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid. 

Pyridazine-3,6-diones (diazaquinones) are prepared from cyclic hydrazides by oxidation with lead tetraacetate or other oxidizing agents, such as r-butyl hypochlorite, chlorine or nickel peroxide. 

Ozone is more effective than chlorine in deactivating poliovirus, Cryptosporidium parvum, Giardia lamblia, and other protozoa. It also improves the color, taste, and odor of water dramatically. However, since no residual amount remains, it is always necessary to add a small amount of a more stable disinfectant as well (sodium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, etc.). 

After the crude pulp is obtained from the alkaline sulfate process, it must be bleached in stages with elemental chlorine, extracted with sodium hydroxide, and oxidized with calcium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, and... 

Postharvest washing of vegetables remains the key intervention to remove field acquired contamination. There have been numerous papers and reviews on the relative performance of different sanitizers including hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, and peroxyacetic acid (Allwood et al, 2004 Gonzalez et al., 2004 Ibarra-Sanchez et al, 2004 Koseki and Isobe, 2006 Rodgers et al., 2004 Romanova et al, 2002). 

Othei hypochlorites include calcium hypochlorite, bleach liquor, bleaching powder and tropical bleach, dibasic magnesium hypochlorite, lithium hypochlorite, chlorinated tnsodium phosphate, and hypochlorous acid. 

Surely, many such common reactions could be utilized for the intentional destruction of unwanted herbicides and their residues (41). Metham might be caused to react simply with aqueous ammonia to form harmless methylthiourea many herbicides including prometryne and metribuzin (Sencor) might be degraded by dilute hypochlorite ("chlorinated lime") of the type used to purify swimming pools, and the photodecomposition of others (such as 2,4,5-T) might be accelerated by cheap nontoxic photosensitizers such as acetone (Table III) (42). The variations of environmental chemistry applications to control and direct herbicide persistence and effectiveness now appear endless. 

Microsolvent effects in the cyclodextrin cavity have also been observed in hypochlorite chlorination of acetophenone1029. Higher para selectivity has been observed in the bromination of acetanilide and benzanilide in presence of cyclodextrins or amylose1030 and in the anodic chlorination of anisole with cyclodextrin-modified electrode1031.

The readers are referred to new references (46-49) and US governmental reports (50-59) for modem site remediation technologies. For completion of a successful site remediation project, all aspects of environmental pollution control (air, noise, water, and soil) must be considered. Oxidation chemically converts hazardous contaminants to non-hazardous or less toxic compounds that are more stable, less mobile, and/or inert. The oxidizing agents most commonly used are ozone, hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorites, chlorine, and chlorine dioxide (46,47). Figme 3 shows a typical chemical oxidation system for site remediation.
