如果氯胺要成为所有环境中分配系统的可行替代消毒剂方案，控制硝化作用至关重要。本文回顾了与硝化有关的问题，并提出了使用亚氯酸盐离子（Cl02-）控制配水系统硝化的实验室和现场证据。本研究的实验室实验表明，即使是低剂量的Cl02-（0.05mg/L）也可以在数小时内使3-4个对数的氨氧化细菌（AOB）失活。高浓度的Cl02-在短短30分钟内使所有AOB失活。德克萨斯州五家水务公司的现场调查表明，配水系统中存在的Cl02-导致氯胺和氨的损失较少- 因此，与不存在cl02-的系统相比，硝化作用更少。cl02-的易用性与其他更传统的硝化控制措施进行了比较。包括13个参考文献、表格、图表。

Controlling nitrification is essential if chloramines are to be a viable alternative disinfectant scheme for distribution systems in all types of environments. This article reviews problems associated with nitrification and presents laboratory and field evidence for using the chlorite ion (Cl02-) to control nitrification in distribution systems. Laboratory experiments in this study showed that even low dosages of Cl02- (0.05mg/L) can inactivate 3-4 logs of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) over several hours. Higher concentrations of Cl02- inactivate all of the AOB in as little as 30 minutes. Field investigations at five Texas water utilities showed that the presence of Cl02- in the distribution systems resulted in less loss of chloramines and ammonia-nitrogen and thus less nitrification than in those systems in which cl02- was not present. The ease of use of cl02- is compared with other, more traditional nitrification control measures. Includes 13 references, table, figures.
