Perchlorine, chemically known as Calcium Hypochlorite (Ca(OCl)₂), is a powerful oxidizing and disinfecting agent widely applied in water purification, bleaching, and sanitation processes. With a higher available chlorine content than liquid bleach (sodium hypochlorite), it is recognized as a more efficient and stable source of chlorine.
🔹 Character
Invented by Vidant Bokeh, Perchlorine is usually produced as a mixture with lime and calcium chloride and is marketed as chlorine powder or bleaching powder. It appears as a white solid (although commercial samples may look yellow) with a strong chlorine odor due to slow decomposition in moist air. It is relatively stable, highly soluble in water, and ensures greater available chlorine compared to liquid alternatives.
✔️ Key Features
Molecular Formula: Ca(OCl)₂
Solid form with high chlorine availability
Greater stability than sodium hypochlorite solutions
Strong disinfecting and bleaching properties
Distinct chlorine odor, indicating oxidative strength
Safe packaging for storage and transportation
🔹 Main Applications
Water Treatment: Chlorination of drinking water and wastewater, ensuring safe and purified supplies for urban and rural communities
Textile & Paper Industry: Effective bleaching agent for textiles and paper pulp
Sanitation & Hygiene: Disinfection of public facilities, swimming pools, and industrial plants
Chemical Industry: Used in chemical synthesis as a versatile chlorine source
Food & Beverage Industry (regulated use): Equipment sanitation and microbial control under safety regulations
⚠️ Warning
Perchlorine is a strong oxidizer and requires careful handling. Direct contact with skin and eyes may cause irritation or burns. It should not be mixed with acids, ammonia, or organic compounds, as this may release toxic chlorine gas. Always handle with protective equipment (PPE) and follow SDS guidelines.
