SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE AS A DISINFECTANT
Sodium hypochlorite, commonly known as bleach, is most frequently used as a disinfecting agent. Sodium hypochlorite appears as colorless or slightly yellow watery liquid with an odor of household bleach.
Studies have shown that Sodium hypochlorite is a highly effective disinfectant that has wide ranging applications. It appears that sodium hypochlorite offers an optimal balance between low cost, ease of use, safety, and efficacy than other disinfectants like calcium hypochlorite, ozone, UV and solar disinfection. Also In areas where water is not excessively turbid and is available for drinking, sodium hypochlorite is highly effective. Due to these features of sodium hypochlorite, it is widely used for water treatment systems in many countries.
As a disinfectant, sodium hypochlorite kills bacteria, viruses and fungi. In the same way that chlorine disinfects, sodium hypochlorite does too.
