  2. Chlorine gas poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine_gas_poisoning

    Chlorine gas poisoning is an illness resulting from the effects of exposure to chlorine beyond the threshold limit value. Acute chlorine gas poisoning primarily affects the respiratory system , causing difficulty breathing, cough, irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, and sometimes skin irritation .

  3. Composition of the human body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body

    Parts-per-million cube of relative abundance by mass of elements in an average adult human body down to 1 ppm. About 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium ...

    Military use of a tank container system. Swap body tank - a swap body has a bigger tank which is larger than the frame, usually 23 or 25 feet (7.01 or 7.62 meters) long; Food-grade tank - a standard tank container which can only be loaded with foodgrade products; Reefer tank - a tank with the ability to cool ("refigerate") the product to be ...

  5. Chlorine production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine_production

    Chlorine can be manufactured by the electrolysis of a sodium chloride solution , which is known as the Chloralkali process. The production of chlorine results in the co-products caustic soda (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H 2). These two products, as well as chlorine itself, are highly reactive.

  6. Water purification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_purification

    Chlorine is a strong oxidant that rapidly kills many harmful micro-organisms. Because chlorine is a toxic gas, there is a danger of a release associated with its use. 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 ...

  7. Electrochlorination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochlorination

    The solution travels to a tank that separates the hydrogen gas based on its low density. [1] Only water and sodium chloride are used. The simplified chemical reaction is: NaCl + H 2 O + energy → NaOCl + H 2 [citation needed] That is, energy is added to sodium chloride (table salt) in water, producing sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen gas.

  8. Chloride channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloride_channel

    CLCN1 is involved in setting and restoring the resting membrane potential of skeletal muscle, while other channels play important parts in solute concentration mechanisms in the kidney. [3] These proteins contain two CBS domains. Chloride channels are also important for maintaining safe ion concentrations within plant cells. [4]
