1. The hazards of chlorine dioxide:
Chlorine dioxide has strong oxidizing properties. It is explosive when the volume concentration in the air exceeds 10, but its aqueous solution is very safe (in water The content exceeds 30 explosive). It can react explosively with a variety of chemicals and is very sensitive to heat, vibration, shock, friction, etc. Easily breaks down and explodes.
2. The functions of chlorine dioxide:
1. Sterilization mechanism
Chlorine dioxide has a strong ability to absorb and penetrate cell walls. It releases atomic oxygen to sterilize the enzymatic oxidation of intracellular sulfhydryl groups.
2. Bleaching effect
Chlorine dioxide bleaching decomposes pigments by releasing atomic oxygen and producing hypochlorite. Using it instead of chlorine and chlorate as a bleaching agent can prevent and avoid fiber oxidation and reduce fiber strength, and the effect is more comprehensive.
3. Deodorization effect
The deodorization of chlorine dioxide is due to the dehydration reaction between chlorine dioxide and odorous substances (such as H2S, -SOH, -NH2, etc.), and Rapidly oxidizes odorous substances into other substances. It also prevents methionine from breaking down into ethylene, destroying the ethylene that is formed, thereby retarding decay while killing microorganisms without reacting with fatty acids without damaging the food structure.
