Drinking water if not treated properly has been found to be the major source of diseases like Cholera, ameobiosis, gastro-enteritis, hepatitis etc. There are a large number of people who drink water of doubtful quality since it is often contaminated with effluents. Poor sanitation and sewage disposal in many places also cause public health hazards. Effective utilisation of water treatment practices to remove the pathogenic bacteria have contributed to a significant reduction of these diseases and therefore providing safety drinking water is the basic criteria for healthy living conditions.

While sterilisation is the complete destruction of all the life in water, disinfection is the complete destruction of all pathogenic organisms which is actually required for drinking water. Disinfection is usually brought about by chemical agent, such as chlorine, bromine, fluorine, iodine, ozone etc. Out of these, chlorine and its compounds are found to be most suitable and effective for common household purposes for purifying drinking water.

The hypochlorite solutions are in use either as sodium hypochlorite or calcium hypochlorite for addition of chlorine in water. For household disinfaction, lower concentration of hypochlorites are used.The most convenient way for addition of chlorine in water for disinfection of water is chlorine liquid and chlorine tablets, which when added to the water, liberates chlorine. Chlorine liquid is a stable hypochlorite solution, named as ‘chlorine liquid’ with an anticipation that it would be most convenient and popular to common people. It can be used in hospitals, dispensaries, hotels, railways for providing safe drinking water. It is also convenient for carrying while on tour or for outing.

Product Properties and Specifications

Chlorine liquid should contain 5.0 +- 0.25 mg. chlorine per ml of solution. To compensate losses during storage, 60% of excess chlorine can be maintained so that chlorine content at the end of two years of shelf life will be above the prescribed limit of 5.0+- 0.25 mg per ml.

PROCESS

The powdered raw-materials are dissolved in demineralised water and kept seperately . The different solutions are added to the mixing tank in desired proportion and stirred properly . Precaution should be taken to see that there is no lump formation in the solution. The mixture was allowed to settle for about 12 to 14 hrs. The samples of clear solution are taken and tested for available chlorine content.The clear solution is decanted and kept in a storage tank. The solution from the storage tank is filled up in desired packings and sealed properly.
