Calcium hypochlorite is a chemical compound with the formula Ca(ClO)2, commonly used as a powerful disinfectant and sanitizer. It is often found in the form of white granules or tablets and is a key ingredient in various water treatment processes, including the purification of swimming pool water, drinking water, and wastewater. Calcium hypochlorite releases chlorine when dissolved in water, which effectively kills bacteria, viruses, and algae, making it an essential tool for maintaining water quality and safety. Additionally, it is employed in sanitation and cleaning applications, particularly in industries like healthcare, agriculture, and food processing, where its strong oxidizing properties help control and prevent the spread of infections and contaminants. Its role in ensuring clean and safe water supplies and hygienic environments makes calcium hypochlorite a critical chemical compound for public health and sanitation.
