The role of residual chlorine in water treatment
Residual chlorine plays a vital role in the water treatment process. Its main functions include disinfection, prevention of secondary pollution, and maintaining stable water quality. The following are some specific roles of residual chlorine in water treatment: Sterilization and disinfection As a strong oxidant, residual chlorine can effectively kill bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in water, thereby preventing water pollution and the spread of waterborne diseases. By detecting the residual chlorine concentration, it can be ensured that the disinfection effect of water meets the hygienic standards and ensures the safety of the water supply system. Preventing secondary pollution During the process of water being transported from the water plant to the user, it may be secondary polluted by pipelines and facilities along the way. The presence of residual chlorine can continuously sterilize and prevent the water from being contaminated again during the transportatio...
