Chlorine dioxide is used as a substitute for and an adjunct to chlorine in water
treatment. It is better than chlorine in eliminating taste and odor in certain cases.
Chlorine dioxide, unlike chlorine, does not produce carcinogenic chlorinated
organic compounds when reacted with organic materials. A disadvantage is the
higher cost of producing chlorine dioxide compared to chlorine.
APPLICATION: Drinking and pool waters; domestic and industrial
wastewater; food sanitization.
RANGE: 0.00–8.00 ppm Chlorine Dioxide
MDL: 0.10 ppm
METHOD: Chlorine dioxide reacts with DPD to form a red color in
proportion to the concentration.
SAMPLE
HANDLING &
PRESERVATION:
Test as soon as possible to avoid loss of chlorine dioxide.
INTERFERENCE: Chlorine interference can be removed with the use of
glycine. Very high levels of chloramines may interfere if the
test result is not read immediately. Oxidized manganese
interferes but can be removed with arsenite. Bromine and
iodine interfere. Chromate interference can be removed with
a thioacetamide blank correction.
