Description
Sodium Hypochlorite is a widely used inorganic compound primarily utilized for disinfection, bleaching, and oxidation. Commonly available as an aqueous solution, it is produced by reacting chlorine gas with sodium hydroxide. In water treatment, Sodium Hypochlorite acts as a powerful disinfectant effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It is also employed in bleaching processes, odor control, and chemical oxidation reactions in both industrial and household applications. Due to its high reactivity, it must be handled and stored carefully.
