2. Water chlorination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_chlorination

   Water chlorination is the process of adding chlorine or chlorine compounds such as sodium hypochlorite to water. This method is used to kill bacteria, viruses and other microbes in water. This method is used to kill bacteria, viruses and other microbes in water.

3. Chlorine cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine_cycle

   Chlorine's ability to completely dissociate in water is also why it is an essential electrolyte in many biological processes. [6] Chlorine, along with phosphorus, is the sixth most common element in organic matter. [1] Cells utilize chloride to balance pH and maintain turgor pressure at equilibrium.

4. Chlorine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine

   Chlorine is widely used for purifying water, especially potable water supplies and water used in swimming pools. Several catastrophic collapses of swimming pool ceilings have occurred from chlorine-induced stress corrosion cracking of stainless steel suspension rods. [ 135 ]

5. Disinfection by-product - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinfection_by-product

   Chlorinated disinfection agents such as chlorine and monochloramine are strong oxidizing agents introduced into water in order to destroy pathogenic microbes, to oxidize taste/odor-forming compounds, and to form a disinfectant residual so water can reach the consumer tap safe from microbial contamination.

6. Salt water chlorination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_water_chlorination

   Salt water chlorination is a process that uses dissolved salt (1000–4000 ppm or 1–4 g/L) for the chlorination of swimming pools and hot tubs.The chlorine generator (also known as salt cell, salt generator, salt chlorinator, or SWG) uses electrolysis in the presence of dissolved salt to produce chlorine gas or its dissolved forms, hypochlorous acid and sodium hypochlorite, which are already ...

7. Water purification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_purification

   This problem is avoided by the use of sodium hypochlorite, which is a relatively inexpensive solution used in household bleach that releases free chlorine when dissolved in water. Chlorine solutions can be generated on site by electrolyzing common salt solutions. A solid form, calcium hypochlorite, releases chlorine on contact with water ...
