kaltsiumhüpokloriidi

Kaltsiumhüpokloriit is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ca(ClO)2. It is a salt of calcium and hypochlorous acid. This compound typically appears as a white or yellowish solid and is known for its strong oxidizing properties.

Kaltsiumhüpokloriidi is widely used as a disinfectant and bleaching agent. Its effectiveness stems from the release of hypochlorous acid when dissolved in water, which is a potent antimicrobial agent. This makes it a common ingredient in swimming pool sanitizers, household cleaning products, and industrial water treatment. It is also used in the pulp and paper industry for bleaching.

The compound is usually produced by reacting calcium hydroxide with chlorine gas. It can exist in anhydrous or hydrated forms. Due to its oxidizing nature, kaltsiumhüpokloriidi should be stored away from combustible materials and in a cool, dry place to prevent decomposition and potential hazards. It can also react with acids to release toxic chlorine gas.
