Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) has achieved a remarkable degree of commercial attention not only because of environmental concerns but also becuase of its wide range of applications in the fields of bleaching, oxidation, and disinfection. There is a growing interest in the development of simpler, more easily operated, more efficient, and more cost effective techniques for the generation of chlorine dioxide. This present comprehensive review highlights the various methods used for the manufacture of chlorine dioxide using sodium chlorate as the raw material and discusses their process chemistries, including the reaction kinetics and the mechanisms of the various reactions responsible for ClO2 generation. Efforts have been made to incorporate all the pertinent details, including the most recent developments in the manufacture of chlorine dioxide. This review not only provides a deep insight into the manufacturing processes but also it paves the ways for improvements to the existing traditional processes and the design of advanced processes in the future.
Keywords:Chlorine-dioxide;sodium chlorate;manufacturing processes;kinetics;mechanism
