What are the Disinfection By-Products of Chlorine Dioxide?
Thebyproducts of chlorine dioxide reactions are chlorite (ClO2-) and chlorate (ClO3-), and eventually chloride (Cl-). The fate of any disinfection byproducts depends largely on the conditions at the time, such as concentration, temperature and the presence of other molecules. Chlorine dioxide does not produce large amounts of aldehydes, ketones, or other disinfection byproducts that originate from the ozonisation of organic substances.
