Sodium dichloroisocyanurate is a chemical compound . It is the sodium salt of dichloroisocyanuric acid .
presentation
Sodium dichloroisocyanurate is obtained in a multi-stage process. First, urea is pyrolyzed to cyanuric acid . Purified (99%) cyanuric acid dihydrate reacts with elemental chlorine to form dichloroisocyanuric acid monohydrate (DCCA). This precipitates and is filtered off. The monohydrate is neutralized with sodium hydroxide to sodium dichloroisocyanuric acid dihydrate. The anhydrate can be obtained by heating.
properties
Sodium dichloroisocyanurate is a white powder with a pungent odor of chlorine that dissolves well in water. As a strong oxidizing agent , it reacts violently with flammable and reducing substances. When hydrolysed , it produces hypochlorous acid .
It forms a dihydrate.
use
Sodium dichloroisocyanurate is used in cleaning agents , disinfectants and bleaching agents .
It is widely used to disinfect swimming pools. In Germany it may only be used for drinking water treatment for the needs of the Bundeswehr and for civilian needs in the event of a defense or disaster.
