DescriptionThe common oxidation chemicals used to disinfect drinking water include chlorine gas, liquid bleach (sodium hypochlorite or dissolved solid calcium hypochlorite) , chlorine dioxide, chloramines, and ozone. Because chlorine gas costs are increasing and new safety regulations placed on its transportation, storage, and use are proposed, many utilities are converting their treatment processes to use liquid bleach. During the storage of liquid bleach, hypochlorite ion decomposes to form chlorate ion (at pH > 10, rate = k[OCI-]2). Because chlorate ion is planned for future regulation, the variability of chlorate ion levels in commercially available liquid bleach and finished drinking water in New Jersey was investigated as part of the State's effort to comply with the federally promulgated Disinfection By-product Rule (DBP).
