| Eka ClO2 is chlorine dioxide; it is generally produced, stored and typically fed as an 8-11 grams per liter aqueous solution to the desired application point. CAS number: 10049-04-4 Molecular formula: ClO2 Applications: Eka ClO2 (chlorine dioxide) is the main bleaching agent used in modern environmentally compatible paper pulp manufacturing. Chlorine dioxide is the main component in ECF (Elemental Chlorine-Free) bleaching. Up to 99 percent of all chlorine dioxide produced worldwide is consumed by the Pulp Industry. Other common applications for chlorine dioxide include use as a broad-spectrum biocide and primary disinfectant for potable and cooling water. In water treatment, appropriate chlorine dioxide solution concentrations are metered directly from an on-site generator to the application point. Information provided by Nouryon |
