4 Purity criteria
4.1 General

This European Standard specifies the minimum purity requirements for chlorine dioxide generated in

situ used for the treatment of water intended for human consumption. Limits are given for impurities

commonly present in the product. Depending on the raw material and the manufacturing process, other

impurities may be present and, if so, this shall be notified to the user and when necessary to relevant

authorities.

Users of this product should check the national regulations in order to clarify whether it is of

appropriate purity for treatment of water intended for human consumption, taking into account raw

water quality, required dosage, contents of other impurities and additives used in the product not

stated in this product standard.

Limits have been given for impurities and chemical parameters where these are likely to be present in

significant quantities from the current production process and raw materials. If the production process

or raw materials lead to significant quantities of impurities, by-products or additives being present, this

shall be notified to the user.
4.2 Composition of in situ generated product

Chlorine dioxide (ClO ) is produced as aqueous solution on or near the site of use. For safety reasons

the aqueous ClO solution without intermediate storage in a storage tank (i.e. without headspace) shall

not exceed a concentration of 20 g/l.

The concentration of the aqueous ClO solution with intermediate storage in a storage tank (i.e. with

headspace) should not exceed a concentration of 3 g/l, to ensure an adequate distance to the explosion

limit (see B.1).
4.3 Impurities and main by-products

Impurities and main by-products of the starting products used for the generation (indicated in A.1.1)

can be found in the in situ generated product in respective proportional concentrations.

Inadequate design, operation and maintenance of reactors can give rise to the formation of chlorine and

traces of chlorate ion and, eventually, the presence of unreacted chlorite, chlorate and/or chlorine (see

[6]); for analysis see 5.2 and A.4.
4.4 Chemical parameters

NOTE For the purpose of this standard, "chemical parameters" are those defined in the EU Directive

98/83/EC of 3 November 1998 (see [1]).

Limits of chemical parameters being potentially present in chlorine dioxide solution have been specified

in the corresponding EN standards of the starting products (indicated in A.1.1).

5 Test methods
5.1 Sampling

Sampling of chlorine dioxide solutions shall avoid photochemical decompositions, losses by evaporation

of the product and consumption by the glassware and dilution water. Samples shall be taken at the exit

of the reactor or from the storage tank with a sampling tube and the analytical procedures started as

fast as possible.

In order to achieve these objectives the following step by step procedure shall be adopted:

— sampling shall be made in accordance with the general requirements given in ISO 3165 and take

ISO 6206 into account;

— all glassware shall be conditioned immediately before sampling, with the solution under

investigation and this preliminary rinsing sample shall be discarded;

— liquid samples for analytical control shall be introduced directly into the analytical reagent

solutions; the sampling device and procedure shall ensure that the sample is directly contacted

with the analytical reagent without running along the walls of the analytical glassware;

— the sample vessels shall be stoppered, leaving minimal head-space, to store the sample with

reagent mixture;

— at high concentration of chlorine dioxide (>10 g/l) the samples shall be collected in a vessel,

containing water; the analytical result shall be corrected accordingly for the dilution factor;

— titration analysis shall preferably be carried out immediately after sampling and reaction;

— if immediate titration or measurement is not possible, prior to the analytical measurements the

sample plus reagent shall be stored in the dark at low temperature about 5 °C and contact with

ambient air shall be avoided;

— if immediate collection and analysis are not possible, sample the reactor effluent in a 250 ml conical

flask stored on crushed ice and, by introducing the liquid at the bottom of the flask and fill the flask

completely allowing overflow of chlorine dioxide solution.

The volume of the samples shall be adjusted in accordance with the analytical procedure described

hereafter.
5.2 Determination of chlorine dioxide and chlorite concentrations
5.2.1 General

This standard method concerns the determination of chlorine dioxide and chlorite concentrations in

stored solution.
NOTE Other oxidizing agents could interfere with the determination.
5.2.2 Principle
5.2.2.1 General

Phosphate-buffered iodide is first reacted with the chlorine dioxide sample and titrated at pH 7,2 and

subsequently acidified to pH 2 and titration is continued.

and indicate at least 97 % of the expected yield. If not appropriate, adjustments and an additional

control as given in 5.2.2.4 may be made, and more selective controls made occasionally according to the

methods described in A.3 and A.4.
5.2.2.4 Chlorite determination

Determination of chlorite concentration after degassing of a separate sample followed by iodometry at

pH 2 (reaction is as in 5.2.2.3 and measure only the chlorite concentration of the sample). The degassing

procedure is given in A.4.1.

All reagents shall be of a recognized analytical grade and the water used shall conform to grade 3 in

accordance w
