41、Storage incompatibilities Keep away from acids, acidic salts, inflammable substances, organic compounds and moisture. BS EN 15796:2010EN 15796:2010 (E) 9 Annex A (informative) General information on calcium hypochlorite A.1 Origin A.1.1 Raw materials Calcium hypochlorite is manufactured from chlorin
42、e, calcium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide. A.1.2 Manufacturing process It is produced by drying a filter cake of neutral calcium hypochlorite dihydrate that is usually prepared from calcium hydroxide (hydrated lime) (Ca(OH)2), sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) (NaOH), and chlorine (Cl2). A.2 Use A.2.1
43、 Function Its functions in swimming pool water treatment are disinfection, the removal of ammonium compounds, the oxidation of sulfides and the oxidation of iron (II) to iron (III). A.2.2 Form in which it is used It is used dissolved in water as a dosing solution usually at a mass fraction of 1 % to
44、 4 %. A.2.3 Treatment dose The treatment dose depends on the composition of the swimming pool water. The dose should be controlled to achieve the minimum free residual concentration that gives satisfactory microbial quality. A.2.4 Means of application It is applied using a metering pump, from a diss
45、olving tank. A.2.5 Secondary effects The secondary effects include the following: slight increase in pH; slight increase in the chloride content; odour and colour removal; oxidation of organic compounds; local precipitation of carbonate at injection point. BS EN 15796:2010EN 15796:2010 (E) 10 A.2.6
46、Removal of excess product Excess active chlorine can be removed by utilizing a reducing agent such as sulfur dioxide gas or an aqueous solution of a sulfite compound. Passing through activated carbon is also effective. BS EN 15796:2010EN 15796:2010 (E) 11 Annex B (normative) General rules relating t
