TOM's Dilutions and ratios

[Guest guest]

Tom Thank You for all your contributions.

Please explain what is the relationship between:

Sodium Chlorite and available chlorine dioxide,

and how chlorine dioxide relates to the Sodium Chlorite concentration.

Thank You.

Hello ,

Sodium chlorite is stabilized chlorine dioxide. The concentration of sodium

chlorite is related to the amount of available chlorine dioxide.

For example: 5% sodium chlorite has 50000 PPM of available chlorine dioxide.

(0.05 X 1000000 = 50000)

In order to release the available chlorine dioxide you need to activate it.

Activation is done by lowering the PH of the sodium chlorite. The amount of

available chlorine dioxide that is released as free chlorine dioxide is related

to how low you lower the PH of the sodium chlorite.

Chlorine dioxide technology involves solutions that only have free chlorine

dioxide in them. This is what is used in industrial bleaching and in water

purification.

Acidified sodium chlorite technology utilizes a solution that contains both

available chlorine dioxide and free chlorine dioxide. This is what is used in

food processing.
