Treatment chlorination

Water Treatment. Chlorine is an excellent bacteriostat, unsurpassed for use in residual water treatment and growth is expected to remain flat through 1992. Attempts by municipal and industrial water treatment faciHties to improve economics by increasing chemical efficiency and concerns over chlorine s involvement in the formation of undesirable organic compounds are the reasons for 2ero growth. 

In addition to being the most widely used disinfectant for water treatment, chlorine is extensively used in a variety of products, including paper products, dyestuffs, textiles, petroleum products, pharmaceuticals, antiseptics, insecticides, foodstuffs, solvents, paints, and other consumer products. Most chlorine produced is used in the manufacture of chlorinated compounds for sanitation, pulp bleaching, disinfectants, and textile processing. It is also used in the manufacture of chlorates, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride and in the extraction of bromine. Among other past uses, chlorine served as a war gas during World War I. 

Posttreatment of the permeate for potable water use can include dissolved CO2 removal to prevent corrosion (by aeration, lime treatment), chlorination for microbial control, and oxygenation to improve taste. 

This chapter has introduced the RNDS application in the removal of impurities from brine destined for chlor-alkali electrolysis. On top of this, however, RNDS has potential use in other markets, including water treatment. Chlorine Engineers will continue its innovative work to meet the various requests coming from the chlor-alkali industry. 

Advanced wastewater treatment techniques, for example oxidation processes, can achieve up to 100% removal for diclofenac [52,53], Reverse osmosis, activated carbon and ozonation have been shown to significantly reduce or eliminate antibiotics from wastewater effluents [32], The efficiency of two tertiary treatments, chlorination and UV disinfection, was compared and chlorination led to lower quantities of antibiotics [54],...

Techniques for the Fractionation and Identification of Mutagens Produced by Water Treatment Chlorination... 

The precursors of mutagenicity produced by chlorination seem to be widespread, naturally occurring substances. If the precursors can be identified, identification of their chlorination products may help to elucidate the nature of the mutagenic activity in treated water. Thus, a complementary approach to that just described involves laboratory chlorination of naturally occurring model compounds at concentrations and conditions that simulate treatment chlorination. The reaction products were first tested for mutagenic activity to identify possible precursors of mutagenicity produced during treatment chlorination. The products were then analyzed by GC-MS and HPLC to try to identify the compounds formed. 

Chlorination of humic acids and amino acids at concentrations and conditions that simulated water treatment chlorination produced... 

Yes. In general, routine water treatment (chlorine, filtering) in our public water systems would take care of biological agents terrorists might place in the system, just as they handle natural germs. If terrorists were to add chemical agents, the water would so dilute the chemicals that they would pose little threat... 

In another study, when MnP from the fungus IZU-154 was incubated with softwood or hardwood kraft pulp in the presence of Mn +, glucose oxidase and glncose, the amount of effective chlorine needed to increase brightness was substantially lowered. After the enzyme treatment, chlorine consumption required to increase the brightness to 85% ISO decreased 51, 66, and 69% for normal-lignin-content softwood kraft pnlp, low-lignin-content softwood kraft pulp and hardwood kraft pulp respectively [109]. 

Since ozone leaves no residual, post-treatment chlorination of finished water with a light dose of chlorine is needed to maintain its protection in the distribution system. The equipment needed to generate ozone is expensive, and offers economy with large-scale operation in the Asian communities.

At millimolar levels of molecular chlorine, the reaction goes to 99% completion in a matter of a few seconds. Above pH 4.4, essentially no molecular chlorine remains in aqueous solution. Hypochlorous acid is a weak acid (pKa approximately 7.5) and thus, near neutrality, both the protonated form and the anion occur at appreciable levels. HCl-free solutions may be prepared by adding salts such as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl, commercially available as a stabilized 5.25% [0.7 M] solution as a fabric bleach). Either chlorine gas or hypochlorite solutions can be used in large-scale water chlorination applications. In addition to water treatment, chlorine is also used as a disinfectant for beef, pork, and poultry carcasses and also as a bleaching agent for paper pulp and cake flour (Wei et al., 1985). The disinfecting ability of aqueous chlorine is closely associated with its vigorous oxidant character the redox potential for the reactions...

The subsections that follow give the outline of an approach to the commissioning of a typical membrane-cell plant with brine resaturation, primary brine treatment, secondary brine treatment, chlorine treatment, and caustic evaporation. 

Then the water is filtered again to remove the solid mass of fine particles (called a flocculate or floe ) leftover from the initial filtering treatment. Chlorine is added to kill any bacteria in the water. Then it s run through an activated charcoal filter that absorbs (collects on its surface) and removes substances responsible for taste, odor, and color. Fluoride may be added at this time to help prevent tooth decay. Finally, the purified water is collected in a holding tank, ready for your use. 

Water treatment Chlorine is used to purify water for the first time in the United States, in New Jersey, helping to reduce waterborne illnesses such as cholera, typhoid, and dysentery.
