One of the elementary substances, commonly isolated as a greenish yellow gas, two and one half times as heavy as air, of an intensely disagreeable suffocating odor, and exceedingly poisonous
Can be used as a sterilizing agent in homebrewing Also used as a gas added to water supplies to kill bacteria
This substance is commonly used to keep bacteria out of municipal water supplies It is poisonous to fish, but can be removed with special dechlorinating compounds, or by letting a bucket of water sit open for 24 hours
Chlorine is a strong-smelling gas that is used to clean water and to make cleaning products. a greenish-yellow gas with a strong smell that is used to keep the water in swimming pools clean. It is a chemical element : symbol Cl (chloros ). Nonmetallic chemical element, chemical symbol Cl, atomic number
Chemical used in the water treatment process as a disinfectant Chlorine is used to assure the bacterial safety of the drinking water and to improve its quality
A term used to describe any type of chlorine compound used as a disinfectant in swimming pool and spa water or to kill, destroy or control bacteria and algae In addition, chlorine oxidizes ammonia and nitrogen compounds (swimmer and bather waste)
Is a chemical used to disinfect water Chlorine is extremely reactive, and when it comes in contact with microorganisms in water it kills them Chlorine is added to swimming pools to keep the water safe for swimming Chlorine is available as solid tablets for swimming pools Glendale's drinking water treatment plants use chlorine in a gas form because of the large volumes required Chlorine is very effective against algae, bacteria and viruses Protozoa are resistant to chlorine because they have thick coats Protozoa are removed from drinking water by filtration
Chemical sanitizer that kills bacteria and algae A very toxic biocide A halogen element isolated as a heavy irritating greenish-yellow gas of pungent odor used especially as a bleach, oxidizing agent and a disinfectant in water purification
One of five members of the Halogen family of chemical elements It is the most widely used bacteria-killing agent for recreational water treatment Two forms of chlorine are: (1) Stabilized chlorine- less vulnerable to the UV rays of the sun and therefore longer lasting (2) Unstabilized Chlorine- susceptible to degradation by the UV rays of the sun and therefore less convenient Also see Hypochlorite
a toxic, green, gaseous chemical element (symbol Cl) with an atomic number of 17
A substance used in municipal water supplies to kill bacteria Chlorine is toxic to fish and invertebrates and must be removed from water before it can be added to the tank A number of products are available for this purpose
A gas, C12, widely used in the disinfection of water and an oxidizing agent for organic matter, iron, etc
A highly toxic, extremely reactive gas, chemical symbol Cl In the form of hypochlorite or chloramine, commonly used by municipal water treatment facilities, to kill microorganisms in drinking water Bleach (hypochlorite) is also commonly used as an equipment cleaner/sanitizer in homebrewing
a common nonmetallic element belonging to the halogens; best known as a heavy yellow irritating toxic gas; used to purify water and as a bleaching agent and disinfectant; occurs naturally only as a salt (as in sea water)
