二氧化氯（ClO2）是氯处理的替代氧化剂 饮用水。二氧化氯必须通过亚氯酸盐离子的氧化在现场产生 或者氯酸盐离子的还原。每一代技术最终都会产生 二氧化氯；然而，最终产品（成分和纯度）可能会非常不同。 关于二氧化氯纯度的讨论通常集中在氯上。其他潜力 杂质包括亚氯酸盐离子、氯酸盐离子、酸、过氧化氢和其他杂质 有些情况下会产生高氯酸盐。实验数据显示了相似性 以及产品组成的潜在差异。包括39个参考文献、表格和图表。

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is an alternative oxidant to chlorine for the treatment of drinking water. ClO2 must be produced on site by the oxidation of chlorite ion or the reduction of chlorate ion. Each generation technology ultimately produces ClO2; however, the final product (composition and purity) can be very different. Discussions on ClO2 purity have typically focused on chlorine. Other potential impurities include chlorite ion, chlorate ion, acid, hydrogen peroxide, and in some cases perchlorate ion. Experimental data are presented to show similarities and potential differences in product composition. Includes 39 references, tables, figures.
