• What is calcium hypochlorite?

Calcium Hypochlorite (Calcium Hypochlorite) is a white or light yellow crystalline powder with a strong chlorine smell, and its chemical formula is Ca(ClO)2. It is a commonly used bleach and disinfectant, and is widely used in drinking water treatment, swimming pool water treatment, toilet and kitchen disinfection, food processing and other fields because of its strong oxidizing and bactericidal capabilities.

Calcium hypochlorite has a high solubility in water, and can quickly release available chlorine (active chlorine) molecules, thereby achieving the effect of sterilization and disinfection. Calcium hypochlorite has high stability, and it is not easy to decompose after long-term storage, so it can maintain the bactericidal effect for a long time. In addition, calcium hypochlorite can also react with acidic substances to release chlorine gas, so safety needs to be paid attention to during transportation and storage.

It should be noted that calcium hypochlorite is a strong oxidant, and care should be taken to protect eyes and skin when using it, and avoid direct contact and inhalation. At the same time, it should be used according to the prescribed dosage during use to avoid waste and pollution.

• Types and characteristics of calcium hypochlorite

Calcium hypochlorite is a chemical substance widely used in disinfection, bleaching and other fields, mainly including the following types:

A. Industrial grade calcium hypochlorite: Industrial grade calcium hypochlorite is a kind of calcium hypochlorite with low purity, which is usually used in industrial fields such as sewage treatment, pulp bleaching, textile bleaching, and oil bleaching.

B. Calcium hypochlorite for swimming pools: Calcium hypochlorite for swimming pools is a calcium hypochlorite specially used to treat swimming pool water. It can effectively kill bacteria, viruses and other harmful substances in the water, and keep the water clean and hygienic.

C. Calcium hypochlorite for drinking water treatment: Calcium hypochlorite for drinking water treatment is a kind of calcium hypochlorite specially used to treat drinking water, which can effectively kill microorganisms, viruses and other harmful substances in the water, ensuring drinking water Water safety and sanitation.

D. Medical calcium hypochlorite: Medical calcium hypochlorite is a kind of calcium hypochlorite specially used in the medical field, which can be used for instrument disinfection, hand disinfection, wound disinfection, etc. It can effectively kill harmful substances such as bacteria and viruses, and ensure the safety of medical and health care.

The above types of calcium hypochlorite are different in properties and applications, but they all have strong oxidizing and bactericidal capabilities, and are commonly used as disinfection and bleaching agents. It should be noted that the purity and use of different types of calcium hypochlorite are different, and they need to be operated in accordance with relevant regulations and instructions when using them.

• Application scenarios of calcium hypochlorite

Calcium hypochlorite is a chemical substance widely used in disinfection, bleaching and other fields. The main application scenarios include the following aspects:

A. Water treatment: Calcium hypochlorite can be used in drinking water treatment, swimming pool water treatment, sewage treatment and other fields. It can effectively kill harmful substances such as bacteria and viruses in the water, and ensure the water quality is safe, clean and hygienic.

B. Food processing: Calcium hypochlorite can be used in disinfection, bleaching and other links in food processing. For example, it is used for surface disinfection and bleaching of vegetables, fruits, meat and other foods.

C. Medical hygiene: Calcium hypochlorite can be used for instrument disinfection, hand disinfection, wound disinfection, etc. in the medical field. It can effectively kill harmful substances such as bacteria and viruses, and ensure the safety of medical and health care.
