How Bleaching Powder Is Used in Water Treatment: Practical Application Guide

Bleaching Powder (漂白粉) is one of the most widely specified disinfection, sterilization & bleaching used across municipal and industrial facilities. As a chlorinated lime, it delivers reliable performance in the scenarios our customers ask about most: Disinfectant for drinking water for livestock, sewage treatment; bleaching in cloth and paper-making industries.

What Bleaching Powder Is and How It Works

Bleaching Powder is supplied as White or light gray powder. Its molecular formula is Calcium Hypochlorite, Calcium Hydroxide, Calcium Chloride (CAS -). Because of this physical form it dissolves and disperses predictably, which makes dosing and process control straightforward for plant operators.

Primary Applications

Its key application areas include: Disinfectant for drinking water for livestock, sewage treatment; bleaching in cloth and paper-making industries. In practice this means chlorinated lime is selected for both routine maintenance and shock-treatment programs, depending on the water matrix and treatment goal.

• Process reliability: stable active content and consistent granule/tablet size improve dosing accuracy.
• Compatibility: works within existing dosing and storage setups common to disinfection, sterilization & bleaching programs.
• Logistics: available in 25kg / 50kg plastic drum or bag, simplifying import and warehouse planning.

Why Buyers Choose This Grade

When specifying Bleaching Powder, buyers typically compare active content, packaging and the applicable standard (HG/T 2496-2006). Selecting the right grade reduces consumption and protects downstream equipment.

Operators who also run complementary programs often pair this product with Trichloroisocyanuric Acid (TCCA) to cover the full treatment chain from clarification to disinfection.
