What Aspects Can Chlorine Dioxide Be Used In Our Daily Lives?

Chlorine dioxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula ClO2. It is a yellow green to orange yellow gas at room temperature and pressure. Chlorine dioxide disinfectant is internationally recognized as an efficient disinfectant that can kill all microorganisms, including bacterial propagules, spores, fungi, mycobacteria, and viruses, and these bacteria do not develop drug resistance. Chlorine dioxide has a strong adsorption and penetration ability on microbial cell walls, which can effectively oxidize enzymes containing thiol groups in cells. It can also quickly inhibit the synthesis of microbial proteins to destroy microorganisms.

Chlorine dioxide is widely used for surface disinfection of various places and items, as well as water disinfection.

Disinfect drinking water and secondary water supply (which can be used as direct drinking water); Disinfection of swimming pool water and landscape water; Treatment of domestic wastewater, industrial cooling water, industrial wastewater, etc. (which can significantly reduce COD and BOD); Disinfection of hospitals, hotels, public places, and public items; Disinfection and preservation of vegetables and fruits before consumption;

In terms of agriculture: crop disease prevention and control, air disinfection in greenhouses, crop seed treatment, soil improvement, etc., can prevent and control various crop diseases;

It is used in livestock and aquaculture to control the total amount of flora and prevent the outbreak of various infectious diseases;

The literature on the application of chlorine dioxide is vast and numerous, with great market potential.

What Specific Aspects Can Chlorine Dioxide Be Applied To?

1、 The role of chlorine dioxide in aquaculture

In the process of aquaculture, various infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, straight bacteria, etc. occur frequently, and various disinfectants are constantly used for disease prevention and control. The replacement of disinfectants is fast, and chlorine dioxide can be used in the field of aquaculture to treat bacterial and viral diseases of fish, shrimp, turtles, frogs, etc. It can also treat red skin, gill rot, hemorrhagic sepsis, enteritis, and other diseases of carp, grass carp, eel, tilapia, etc Tail rot, water mold, etc; Shrimp viral diseases, black gills, white spots, printing diseases, etc.: crab gill rot, edema, enteritis, ashore disease, trembling, etc.; turtle skin rot disease, red and white bottom plate disease, bleeding disease, perforation disease, etc.; frog skin diseases, eye diseases and other diseases have unique effects.

Chlorine dioxide can also be effectively used to remove odors in water, increase oxygen content in the water, kill bacteria and pathogens caused by the excretion of aquaculture bait and plants, and can be used for bottom improvement of fish ponds, improving water quality without drug residues.

2、The role of chlorine dioxide in public health

Disinfection of public places is the process of killing or removing pathogenic microorganisms that contaminate the public environment and media.

Public environment disinfection generally uses a solution with a chlorine content of 500-1000mg/L, which can be used for 30-60 minutes. Soaking disinfection, surface spraying, and wiping disinfection can be used.

Chlorine dioxide can kill various microorganisms, including bacterial propagules, bacterial spores, fungi, viruses, and even protozoa.

Chlorine dioxide is disinfection and sterilization in molecular form, with high safety and strong bactericidal power. After use, it will not form carcinogens such as chloroform, and there is no obvious irritating smell. It has significant advantages in public health and epidemic prevention with large flow of people!

3.The Role Of Chlorine Dioxide In The Field Of Food Safety

Food/dairy processing plants have strict disinfection standards for the food industry, with standardized disinfection and sterilization processes in place from staff to clean areas and production workshops.

There are many and complex types and quantities of microorganisms in the air of the production workshop. In addition, the relative humidity of the indoor air is high, and some of them need to contact food. Therefore, the requirements for disinfectants are relatively strict. Ultraviolet ray is a common disinfection method for food enterprises. Our company has strong chlorine dioxide sterilization ability, which decomposes quickly without residues. It is very suitable for air spray sterilization and disinfection in relevant places of the food processing industry, and disinfection of food machinery, equipment, containers, etc, Kill Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, etc., while avoiding the occurrence of food poisoning caused by residual and secondary infections.

4.The Role Of Chlorine Dioxide In Water Purification

Wastewater disinfection is a water treatment process that kills harmful pathogenic microorganisms in domestic wastewater and certain industrial wastewater treatment systems. Domestic sewage and some industrial wastewater not only contain a large number of bacteria, but also often contain viruses, amoeba cysts, and so on. They cannot be eradicated through general wastewater treatment processes. In urban sewage treatment systems, ordinary biofilters can only remove 80-90% of Escherichia coli, and the activated sludge method can only remove 90-95%. In order to prevent the spread of diseases, sewage (wastewater) is generally treated by mechanical and biochemical secondary treatment, and sometimes still needs to be disinfected.

Chlorine dioxide has a strong ability to kill bacteria, viruses, etc., and its disinfection ability is stronger than chlorine. Traditional chlorine dioxide is generally prepared on-site through a generator. The chlorine dioxide generated by the generator is quantitatively added to the disinfection tank, and the dosage is adjusted according to the residual chlorine in the effluent; The chlorine dioxide tablets (powder) developed and produced by our company can be directly put into use according to the water volume of the sewage tank, which is simple and easy to operate.
