Is chlorine dioxide explosive?
When producing chlorine dioxide with sodium chlorite and chlorine gas, safety measures must be taken with regard to the transport and use of chlorine gas, sufficient ventilation and gas masks are required. Chlorine dioxide gas is explosive. Chlorine dioxide is a very unstable substance; when it comes in contact with sunlight, it decomposes. During chlorine dioxide production processes, large amounts of chlorine are formed. This is a disadvantage. Free chlorine reacts with organic matter to form halogenated disinfection byproducts. Does chlorine dioxide form byproducts? Chlorine dioxide and its disinfection byproducts chlorite and chlorate can create problems for dialysis patients. Is chlorine dioxide effective? Chlorine dioxide is generally effective for the deactivation of pathogenic microorganisms. It is less effective for the deactivation of rotaviruses and E. coli bacteria. What are the costs of chlorine dioxide use? Chlorine dioxide is about 5 to 10 times more expensive than chlor
