位于科罗拉多州丹佛市的丹佛水务部再利用示范工厂的研究人员发现，二氧化氯处理的有效性在很大程度上取决于发生器的性能。由于即使存在过多浓度的不良副产品，也可以获得较高的二氧化氯产量，因此不能仅用二氧化氯产量来衡量最佳生成条件。有必要仔细监测产生的各种氯物种，如亚氯酸盐、氯和氯酸盐，以及二氧化氯。包括24个参考文献、表格和图表。

Researchers at the Denver Water Department's reuse demonstration plant in Denver, Colorado, found that the effectiveness of chlorine dioxide treatment is critically dependent on the performance of the generator. Because high chlorine dioxide yields can be obtained even when excessive concentrations of undesirable by-products are present, chlorine dioxide yield alone cannot be used as a measure of optimum generation conditions. It is necessary to monitor carefully all of the various chlorine species produced such as chlorite, chlorine, and chlorate, as well as chlorine dioxide. Includes 24 references, tables, figures.
