Practice of "Residual Chlorine" Control in Chlorine Dioxide Disinfecting Drinking Water

The disinfection control of water plants inevitably encounters the problem of “residual chlorine”. In a narrow sense, according to the definition in China's "Standards for the Examination of Drinking Water Standards" (GB5750-85): Residual chlorine refers to chlorine that has been disinfected by chlorination and left in contact with water for a certain period of time. Residual chlorine is one of the important indicators in the "Sanitary Standard for Drinking Water" (GB5749-85). The purpose of retaining residual chlorine in tap water is to maintain a sustained antibacterial power to a certain extent and prevent secondary pollution of tap water. However, this provision in the national standard is formulated for chlorine and chlorine disinfectants. If it is used for non-chlorinated disinfectants, it is also clear that the free residual chlorine in contact with 30-minute factory water is not less than 0.3 mg/L. It is not suitable. In today's increasingly diversified disinfectant selection, we believe that we should understand the "residual chlorine" in a broad sense from the role and purpose of residual chlorine, that is, we should understand "residual chlorine" as: "contact After a certain period of time, leave the remaining disinfectant in the water. ”
Starting from this broad definition of residual chlorine, the “residual chlorine” control for chlorine dioxide disinfection is mainly focused on solving the composition of “residual chlorine” after mastering chlorine dioxide disinfection and determining the measurement standards and control standards.
At the beginning of our company's use of chlorine dioxide generators, we also used the o-tolidine visual colorimetry (OT method) to detect and control the dosage of chlorine dioxide. To learn more about the actual situation of “residual chlorine”, we also adopted the fifteenth edition of the Standard Test Method for Water and Wastewater, published by the American Public Health Association and the American Waterworks Association and the United States Water Pollution Control Association in 1983. The DPD spectrophotometric method recommended in the 20th edition published in 1998 was used as a control test. After more than a year of practice, we found that the use of ortho-toluidine visual colorimetry to detect and control chlorine dioxide has many drawbacks: in terms of actual control, the coloration is low due to the OT method used to detect chlorine dioxide. Many, from the control of the water plant investment control, the dosage is too high, and the display value of the “remaining chlorine” of the factory water is very low. The color of the “remaining chlorine” of the pipe network is lower, or even no color at all. From the detection point of view, the OT method used to detect the chlorine dioxide display value does not mean the content of chlorine dioxide, nor the effective chlorine content of the synthetic, it does not have the meaning of chemical detection.
Although o-tolidine visual colorimetry is one of the preferred methods for detecting residual chlorine in China's national standard GB5750-85 "Standard Test Method for Drinking Water", OT method can detect total residual chlorine, and can also roughly distinguish free residual chlorine. And combined residual chlorine, but this method is only suitable for the detection of residual chlorine content in the traditional disinfection mode using chlorine or bleach as a disinfectant. In the disinfection system with chlorine dioxide as the main disinfectant, after the chlorine dioxide is added to the water, the main component of the "residual chlorine" which has bactericidal or bacteriostatic ability in the water is chlorine dioxide monomer and chlorite. And a small amount of free residual chlorine and compound residual chlorine, etc., the content of free residual chlorine and compound residual chlorine can be all developed by OT method, and the "main residual chlorine" is the main component of sterilization and bacteriostasis - - Chlorine dioxide monomer and chlorite can not fully participate in the reaction and all color development, which is the reason for the low value of "residual chlorine" after chlorine dioxide disinfection by OT method. And we found that the OT method shows the low value and the water

The core issue of controlling “residual total available chlorine” is to ensure the microbiological indicators of drinking water, and to ensure the safety of disinfectant residues to the human body. Therefore, in terms of the selection of the control indicators for “residual chlorine”, we are not constrained by the requirement of “free residual chlorine” in the national standard, but according to the characteristics of the “remaining chlorine” component of chlorine dioxide disinfection. The total residual chlorine measurement standard for chloramine disinfection, all the residual chlorination or bacteriostatic ClO2 monomer, ClO2 -, free chlorine and chemical residual chlorine are converted into effective chlorine, which we call "the remaining total effective Chlorine, with the “main residual available chlorine” as the main control index, established a water quality internal control standard system. We did not choose a single control indicator of “free ClO2” as “residual chlorine”, mainly considering:
6.3 The establishment of the “residual chlorine” internal control system based on the “residual total available chlorine” and the “remaining chlorine” as a supplement to free ClO2.
Since there is no national standard for chlorine dioxide disinfection drinking water in China, in view of the possible influence of ClO2 in chlorine dioxide disinfection by-products on red blood cells in the blood, we refer to the United States, Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany and Belgium. The maximum limit of the amount of chlorine oxide added and residual, the ClO2 - residual amount of our factory water is controlled within 1.0mg / L, combined with the "remaining total available chlorine" composition, we will be our company according to different seasons The internal control standard of “residual chlorine” is as follows: the minimum total available chlorine in the factory water is 0.6~0.8mg/L, the highest value is 1.2~1.4mg/L, or the factory water free ClO2 ≥0.1mg/L; The total effective chlorine minimum value is 0.2 mg/L. Under this internal control standard, the qualified rate of the total number of factory water bacteria in our company in 2000 is 100%, the qualified rate of total coliform bacteria is 98.7%; the pass rate of internal control standard of “remaining total available chlorine” in pipe network water is 96.5%. The qualified rate of total bacteria in the pipe network was 98.2%, and the qualified rate of total coliform bacteria was 95%.
