Klórmaradvány

Klórmaradvány refers to the residual amount of chlorine or chlorine-containing compounds remaining in a substance or environment after a chlorination process. This can be observed in various contexts, most notably in water treatment and disinfection. When chlorine is added to water to kill bacteria and other microorganisms, a portion of it remains in the water as a residual disinfectant, ensuring continued protection against recontamination. This residual can be measured and is often expressed in parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per liter (mg/L).

The presence of klórmaradvány in drinking water is generally desirable up to a certain level, as it indicates that the water has been effectively treated and remains safe to drink. However, excessive levels can lead to undesirable taste and odor characteristics. In other applications, such as laundry or industrial processes, klórmaradvány might refer to leftover chlorine bleaching agents. Understanding and managing klórmaradvány is crucial for ensuring product safety, efficacy, and environmental compliance. Different regulations specify acceptable residual levels depending on the intended use of the treated substance.
