- Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is sometimes used as an alternative disinfectant to chlorine during drinking water treatment. However, a major disadvantage associated with the application of chlorine dioxide is its conversion to chlorite (ClO2-) under drinking water conditions. Since chlorite is subject to drinking water regulations/guidelines values, this limits chlorine dioxide doses which can be used during drinking water treatment. This study advances our knowledge of which chemical functionalities and types of drinking water generate more or less chlorite during treatment with chlorine dioxide. It is therefore helpful when drinking water providers are considering switching from chlorine to chlorine dioxide.
