Ikhtisar
Water chlorination is the most widely used method for disinfecting municipal drinking water, credited with virtually eliminating waterborne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and dysentery in developed countries. The process adds chlorine gas, sodium hypochlorite, or calcium hypochlorite to water, forming hypochlorous acid which destroys pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. First applied in Jersey City, NJ in 1908, chlorination has been called the most significant public health advancement of the 20th century.
Proses Kimia
Chlorine is added to treated water at 0.5-4 mg/L dose. It reacts with water to form hypochlorous acid (HOCl, the primary disinfectant) and hydrochloric acid. Breakpoint chlorination oxidizes ammonia and organic compounds first, then provides free chlorine residual for distribution system protection. Contact time of 15-30 minutes at the treatment plant ensures adequate CT (concentration x time) for disinfection.
HOCl <=> H+ + OCl- (pKa = 7.5, HOCl is 80x more effective than OCl-)
HOCl + pathogens -> oxidative destruction of cell membranes and nucleic acids
Bahan Baku
-
Chlorine gas (Cl2) — Chlor-alkali electrolysis of NaCl brine (Disinfectant (large systems))
-
Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl, bleach) — Chlorination of NaOH (Disinfectant (small/medium systems))
-
Calcium hypochlorite (Ca(OCl)2) — Chlorination of Ca(OH)2 (Disinfectant (emergency/remote applications))
Produk Akhir
-
Disinfected drinking water — Municipal water supply (Free chlorine residual 0.2-0.5 mg/L at tap)
Environmental Impact
Chlorination produces disinfection byproducts (DBPs) including trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) when chlorine reacts with natural organic matter. Some DBPs are suspected carcinogens. Residual chlorine can be toxic to aquatic organisms in wastewater discharge. Despite these concerns, chlorination's public health benefits vastly outweigh the DBP risks.
Pertimbangan Keselamatan
- ⚠ Chlorine gas is extremely toxic (LC50 ~293 ppm) -- lethal at low concentrations
- ⚠ Gas cylinder handling requires specialized training and equipment
- ⚠ Mixing hypochlorite with acids produces lethal chlorine gas
- ⚠ Calcium hypochlorite is a strong oxidizer -- fire and explosion risk with organics
Inovasi Terbaru
Chloramine (monochloramine) disinfection produces fewer THMs while maintaining longer residual.
UV disinfection and ozone treatment used as primary disinfection with chlorine as secondary.
On-site sodium hypochlorite generation from salt electrolysis eliminates chlorine gas handling risks.
