chlorine
Chlorine
The chemical element chlorine with the symbol Cl and atomic number 17 is located in group 7 of the periodic table and thus belongs to group 17 of the IUPAC classification. Like fluorine, bromine, iodine, and tennessine, chlorine is part of the halogens. In nature, chlorine only occurs in various bound compounds. The most common chloride is sodium chloride, often referred to as table salt or simply as salt.
Chloride has important biological functions, is a common component of seawater, and helps regulate the body's water balance.
Chlorine, which is mainly produced by electrolysis, is primarily used for chlorine-containing compounds such as vinyl chloride, the basis for the production of PVC plastic.
Applications of chlorine
The most important historical application of chlorine lies in its use as a bleaching agent. It can be used either in elemental form or further processed into bleaching powder by reacting with calcium hydroxide. Chlorine was first used as a poison gas in World War I. In addition to many chlorine gas accidents in swimming pools, chlorine is still used today as a chemical weapon, despite its limited injury potential. Chlorine is a widespread industrial chemical that, in principle, any pool attendant has access to.
The disinfecting effect of hypochlorite, which is formed during the reaction of chlorine with water, is used in water treatment, known as chlorination. Not only drinking water but especially pool water is disinfected this way. However, since the reaction with water also produces carcinogenic substances such as trihalomethanes, chlorine is increasingly being replaced by chlorine dioxide or ozone for disinfection.
Chlorine in private use
Chlorine can be used effectively against algae growth in swimming pools. Chlorine (Cl2) has no place in ponds with fish, which everyone should know by now. However, if chlorine accidentally enters a pond, quick action is required. Chlorine burns the sensitive mucous membranes of the fish, which should be relocated immediately, and the pond water replaced. The fish usually require follow-up treatment. If the mucous membranes have already been damaged, the fish must be treated with the appropriate medication to prevent fungal infections.
Chlorine Cl2 limits for ponds and pools
-Chlorine < 0.1 mg/l: In a pond with fish, this chlorine level is not yet catastrophic, but quick action is necessary to save the beloved fish. For a swimming pool, this level is too low and algae cannot be effectively eliminated.
-Chlorine 0.1 – 0.3 mg/l: This chlorine concentration in a pond harms not only the fish but also the pond plants. For pools, the chlorine content is still too low to destroy algae.
-Chlorine 0.3 – 0.6 mg/l: If such a value is measured in a pond with fish, chances are slim for saving them. For pools and swimming baths, these are optimal values — algae are reliably destroyed and there is no significant danger to skin or eyes.
-Chlorine > 0.6 mg/l: At this chlorine concentration in a fish pond, nothing can be saved. Even for pools, this level is too high. The pool water should be diluted quickly to reduce the concentration. Otherwise, it could lead to burning skin and red eyes.
