Synthesis of chlorine dioxide stable solution by combined reduction and its decomposition kinetics

Abstract

Abstract Chlorine dioxide is classified by the World Health Organization as a fourth-generation A1, widely used, safe, and effective disinfectant. It is widely used in bleaching, water treatment, oil extraction, aquaculture, plants, fruits and vegetables, meat products, preservation of aquatic products, food sterilization and sterilization industries. The technology of chlorine dioxide produced by the combination reduction method is widely used in domestic papermaking related companies. In order to promote the application of chlorine dioxide, the effects of storage conditions on the stability of chlorine dioxide solution prepared by the combination reduction method and the experimental study of decomposition kinetics were studied. Experiments have shown that high temperature, high pH and high initial concentration accelerate the decomposition of chlorine dioxide solution, and the addition of sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) can inhibit the decomposition of chlorine dioxide. The kinetic experiments showed that the decomposition rate of chlorine dioxide was secondary to ClO2 and was −0.406 for [ H + ] [{\mathrm{H}^{+}}] . The apparent activation energy of chlorine dioxide solution decomposition reaction was 26.7 kJ·mol−1, and the decomposition rate equation of chlorine dioxide was established.
