Activated carbon CTC 60 : 8x16 mesh
Calcium hypochlorite is widely used for water treatment and as a bleaching agent.
Our Calcium hypochlorite finds use in the processes below:
- Disinfectant of drinking water and swimming pool water – it is a sanitizer highly effective in preventing growth of bacteria, algae and other micro-organisms.
- Ingredient in bleaching powder for bleaching linen
- Used to make household cleaners, weed killers, disinfectant sprays.
- Can be used to treat waste-water effluents for paper mills, tanneries and textile mills
Chlorine is a biocide that kills microorganisms, algae etc. Hypochlorite solutions release chlorine into solution which somehow deactivates micro-organism functions in water bodies.
Dosage rates are dependent on the amount of micro organisms in the water body as well as the level of bleaching that needs to be attained.
