Sodium Hypochlorite vs Calcium Hypochlorite
The comparison between sodium hypochlorite and calcium hypochlorite
The genus of disinfectants, sodium hypochlorite (Sodium Hypochlorite) and calcium hypochlorite (Calcium Hypochlorite) are both commonly used. Although the two have the ability to disinfect and sterilize, their properties and uses are different.
Sodium hypochlorite mostly exists in the state of solution. Its preparation is relatively simple and the cost is relatively low. In water, sodium hypochlorite can quickly dissolve and release hypochlorite ions (ClO), which are highly oxidizing, can destroy the structure of microorganisms, kill pathogenic bacteria, toxins, etc., and are widely used in daily disinfection, such as the treatment of the environment and drinking water. Its advantage is that it takes effect quickly, is easy to use, and can be diluted and prepared on demand. However, its stability is not good, and it is easy to decompose when left for a long time. It needs to be properly stored, and at high concentrations, it is corrosive to metals.
Calcium hypochlorite is often in a solid state, and its stability is better than that of sodium hypochlorite. Its effective chlorine content is high, so it has strong bactericidal power and lasts for a long time. It has a significant effect in the disinfection of large water bodies, such as swimming pools, sewage treatment and other fields. Because of its solid state, it is easy to store and transport, but it needs to be dissolved and prepared when used, and the operation is slightly more complicated than sodium hypochlorite. And when dissolved, if it is not properly controlled, or the local concentration is too high, it will affect the disinfection
In summary, sodium hypochlorite and calcium hypochlorite have their own strengths. When choosing, consider the advantages and disadvantages according to actual needs, usage scenarios, cost considerations and other factors, and choose carefully to achieve the best disinfection effect and ensure environmental and personal safety.
