Chlorine granules are a white to light yellow crystalline powder that contain chlorine as the active ingredient. Chlorine is a highly reactive element that is commonly used in water treatment, disinfection, and sanitation applications.
Chlorine granules are used to disinfect swimming pools, drinking water, and wastewater. They are also used to sanitize surfaces in food processing and manufacturing facilities, and to disinfect medical equipment and supplies.
When added to water, chlorine granules dissolve and form hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ions, which are highly effective at killing bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms. Chlorine can also be used to control algae growth and to oxidize organic compounds.
