Calcium hypochlorite

Description:

Calcium hypochlorite, with the CAS number 7778-54-3, is an inorganic compound commonly used as a disinfectant and bleaching agent. It appears as a white or off-white solid, often in the form of granules or tablets, and has a strong chlorine odor. This compound is highly soluble in water, producing a solution that releases chlorine, which is effective in killing bacteria and other pathogens. Calcium hypochlorite is primarily used in water treatment, swimming pools, and sanitation processes due to its ability to oxidize organic materials and eliminate harmful microorganisms. It is also utilized in the textile and paper industries for bleaching purposes. The substance is relatively stable when dry but can decompose when exposed to moisture or heat, releasing chlorine gas. Safety precautions are necessary when handling calcium hypochlorite, as it can be corrosive and may cause irritation to skin and eyes. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from organic materials is essential to prevent hazardous reactions.
