Chlorine is a very frequently used element to sanitise water, but the impact of pH on water disinfection with chlorine is very important.
Chlorine products are widely used to ensure pathogen-free water. These products dissolve in water as hypochlorous acid (HClO). Hypochlorous acid is weak so the dissociation of its hypochlorite ion (ClO-) is very important. As a result, hypochlorite has a very low disinfecting power.
The balance between hypochlorous acid (high disinfectant value) and hypochlorite ion (low disinfectant value) is highly dependent on the pH. As can be seen in the graph, from pH 6 onwards, the disinfecting power drops rapidly.
