Chlorination sterilizer (also called chlorination sterilizer) is a kind of equipment commonly used to kill bacteria and viruses in water. It uses the disinfection effect of chloride to kill microorganisms in water, and can also be used in water supply, swimming pool, water treatment, drinking water and other fields. In this paper, we will discuss the efficacy of chlorination disinfector in killing bacteria and viruses in water.
First, we need to understand the characteristics of bacteria and viruses in water. Bacteria are microorganisms that can reproduce by splitting. Some bacteria can cause diseases. Viruses are a kind of non cellular microorganisms, which need to parasitize in host cells to reproduce and cause various diseases. Bacteria and viruses can be transmitted through water, so it is very important to kill bacteria and viruses in water.
The chlorination compensator kills by releasing chlorides. Chlorides have strong oxidation, which can destroy the cell wall and membrane of microorganisms, causing the death of bacteria and viruses. In addition, chlorides can also react with proteins and enzymes in microbial cells to inhibit their normal functions, thereby killing microorganisms.
Specifically, the chlorinator converts the chloride in water into chlorine or hypochlorite (ClO -), which is the main component of disinfection. Hypochlorite has strong oxidation, which can quickly kill bacteria and viruses in water. It reacts with proteins in microbial cells, leading to protein denaturation and loss of function, causing microbial death.
However, the killing effect of chlorination disinfector is affected by some factors. First, the pH value of water will affect the activity of hypochlorite. Under alkaline conditions, the bactericidal effect of hypochlorite is poor. Therefore, when using the chlorination disinfector, it is necessary to adjust the pH value of the water to make it suitable for the activity of hypochlorite.
Secondly, the content of organic matter and ammonia nitrogen in the water will also affect the killing effect. Organic compounds and ammonia nitrogen can react with chlorides to produce inactive compounds, thus reducing the bactericidal effect of chlorides. Therefore, when using chlorination eliminator, it is necessary to pretreat the water to remove organics and ammonia nitrogen.
In addition, the temperature of the water will also affect the killing effect of the chlorination compensator. Higher temperature can accelerate the reaction rate of hypochlorite and enhance its killing effect. Therefore, in the case of high temperature, the disinfection effect of chlorination disinfector will be better.
Finally, the operation time and dosage of chlorination disinfector will also affect the killing effect. Generally, longer running time and higher dosage can make the killing effect better. However, excessive dosage may cause the problem of chloride residue in water, so it needs to be adjusted according to the specific situation.
To sum up, the chlorination disinfector kills bacteria and viruses in water by releasing chlorides. Hypochlorite has strong oxidation, which can destroy the cell structure and function of microorganisms, thus killing microorganisms. However, the killing effect is affected by such factors as pH value of water, organic matter and ammonia nitrogen content, temperature, operation time and dosage. Therefore, when using chlorination disinfector, careful adjustment and control are required to obtain the best killing effect.
