Almost all metals fo

32、rm chlorides in the presence of chlorine. Organic compounds including mineral oils and greases react very quickly with chlorine. The standard redox potential of gaseous chlorine in neutral aqueous solution at 25 C and 101.3 mbar is: Cl2(gas)+ 2e-= 2 Cl-(aq)E0=+1,36 V (1) 4 Purity criteria 4.1 Genera

33、l This European Standard specifies the minimum purity requirements for chlorine used for the treatment of water intended for human consumption. Limits are given for impurities commonly present in the product. Depending on the raw material and the manufacturing process other impurities may be present

34、 and, if so, this shall be notified to the user and when necessary to relevant authorities. Users of this product should check the national regulations in order to clarify whether it is of appropriate purity for treatment of water intended for human consumption, taking into account raw water quality

35、, required dosage, contents of other impurities and additives used in the product not stated in the product standard. Limits have been given for impurities and chemicals parameters where these are likely to be present in significant quantities from the current production process and raw materials. I

36、f the production process or raw materials leads to significant quantities of impurities, by-products or additives being present, this shall be notified to the user. 4.2 Composition of commercial product The product shall contain at least a volume fraction of 99,5 % chlorine. 4.3 Impurities and main

37、by-products The product shall conform to the requirements specified in Table 1. Table 1 Impurities Impurities Limit in mg/kg of product Water (H20) 20 Nitrogen trichloride (NCl3) 20 aaValid for containers with a net mass of max. 1 000 kg liquid chlorine. For tanks with a higher capacity the limit sh

38、all be lowered to 10 mg/kg due to safety concerns (see 4 for further details). NOTE 1 Other by-products consist of gases (nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen) in variable proportions which are not relevant for the purposes described in this European Standard. BS EN 937:2016EN 937:2016 (E) 8 N

39、OTE 2 Carbon tetrachloride, which is used in some chlorine manufacturing plants as an auxiliary solvent in chlorine processing, and other chlorinated hydrocarbons originating from rubberised or plastic piping might be present in traces in chlorine, but are not relevant due to the low dosage of chlor

40、ine to water intended for human consumption. Chlorine can also contain traces of bromine, depending on the purity of the salt used in the electrolytic process and the subsequent chlorine processing. 4.4 Chemical parameters Heavy metals, which might be present in traces in liquid chlorine, are no rel

41、evant chemical parameters for gaseous chlorine that is applied in water treatment. Cyanide, pesticides and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are not by-products of the manufacturing process. NOTE For the purpose of this standard, “chemical parameters“ are those defined in the EU Directive 98/83/EC of

42、 November 3, 1998 (1). For their parametric values in drinking water, see 1.” 5 Test methods 5.1 General The composition of chlorine is usually controlled and monitored by the supplier and not intended to be performed by users. The methods given for sampling and analysis are intended for use in case

43、 of dispute, and shall be carried out by very competent personnel only. Due to the potential safety risks when performing sampling and analysis, it is strongly recommended to take advice of the chlorine producers or specialised laboratories. 5.2 Sampling Take a sample of liquid chlorine, taking acco

44、unt of ISO 6206, in accordance with the following techniques: ISO 1552 for the determination of chlorine content; ISO 2121 for the determination of water content. 5.3 Analysis 5.3.1 Determination of chlorine content The chlorine content shall be determined in accordance with ISO 2120. 5.3.2 Determin

45、ation of water content The water content shall be determined in accordance with ISO 2121. 5.3.3 Determination of nitrogen trichloride content The nitrogen trichloride content shall be determined in accordance with Annex C. 6 Labelling - Transportation - Storage 6.1 Means of delivery Chlorine shall b

46、e delivered in transportable pressure equipment (cylinders, pressure drums, tanks, portable tanks, etc.). (See 7). In order that the purity of the product is not affected, the means of delivery shall not have been used previously for any different product or it shall have been specially cleaned and

47、prepared before use.
