pH Impact on Free Chlorine
http://ewr.cee.vt.edu/environmental/teach/wtprimer/chlorine/chlorine.html
Chlorine Chemistry in Water
1. Start with chlorine gas Cl2 + H2O
HOCl + HCl
2. If the pH of the water is greater than 8, the hypochlorus
acid (HOCl-) will dissociate (break) to yield hypochlorite
ion.
HOCl
H+ + OCl–
@pH>8
3. pH is less than 7, HOCl will not dissociate.
HOCl
HOCl
@pH<7
Free residual hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is more
1000 times more effective than combined residual
monchloramine
http://ewr.cee.vt.edu/environmental/teach/wtprimer/chlorine/chlorine.html
Which of the following is true
about chlorine chemistry?
1. pH < 7 favors
hypochlorous acid
2. pH >8 hypochlorite ions
form which can still
disinfectant
3. HOCL is 100 times more
powerful then OCL4. All of the above

Basic Chlorine Compounds
Chlorine Demand: chlorine reacted with
– Clay, silt, iron, manganese, bacteria
Combined Chlorine Residuals
Chloramines: chlorine reacted with
– Inorganic ammonia compounds (NH3)
– Organic nitrogen proteins (amino acids)
– Less DBP
– Weak against virus and protozoa
Cl:NH3 and pH Impact in Water
1. If ammonia (NH3) is present in water, the
hypochlorus acid (HOCL) will react to form one
kind of chloramine depending on the pH,
temperature, and reaction time.
2. Monochloramine and dichloramine are formed at pH 4.5 8.5
3. Monochloramine is most common @pH>7.5; Cl2:NH3 <5:1
4. pH 4-5-7.5, Cl:NH3 > 5:1 -Monochloramine converts to
dichloramines
5. pH < 4.5, Cl2:NH3 ~15:1 -Trichloramine which produces a
very foul odor.

Rates of formation of mono and dichloramine.

Cl:NH3 ratio
Fact: High Cl:NH3 ratio, low temp & pH favor dichloramine
Combined Available Chlorine- chlorine existing in the water in
chemical combination with ammonia-nitrogen or organic
nitrogen

Chloramines in Water
Chloramines
3. pH 4.5-8.5; pH 8.0-8.5
Monochloramine: NH3 + HOCl
NH2Cl + H2O
2. pH 4.5-8.5; pH 4.5-8.0
Dichloramine: NH2Cl + 2HOCl
NHCl2 + 2H2O
4. pH <4.5
Trichloramine: NHCl2 + 3HOCl
NHCl3 + 3H2O
•Chloramines are an effective disinfectant against bacteria
but not against viruses.
•Add more chlorine to the wastewater to prevent the
formation of chloramines and form stronger disinfectants.
http://ewr.cee.vt.edu/environmental/teach/wtprimer/chlorine/chlorine.html
Add the Extra Free Chlorine
(HOCL)
5. Additional free chlorine (HOCL or OCL-) reacts with
chloramine to produce hydrogen ion, water , and nitrogen gas
which will come out of solution.
In the case of the monochloramine, the following reaction
occurs:
2NH2Cl + HOCl
N2 + 6HCl + H2O
Added free chlorine reduces the concentration of chloramines
in the disinfection process. Instead the chlorine that is added
is allowed to form the stronger disinfectant, hypochlorus acid.
http://ewr.cee.vt.edu/environmental/teach/wtprimer/chlorine/chlorine.html
If abundant (15 times) Cl is
around and the pH < 4.5
Trichloramine is the most likely

Chlorine Residual Analysis
• Starch Iodide Titration: common in wastewater
• Amperometric Titration: common in wastewater
with cloudy or turbidity problems
• DPD colorometric- common in water and
wastewater. Measures free residual or combined
residual.
Breakpoint Chlorination
Breakpoint chlorination: The point at which near complete oxidation of
nitrogen compounds are reached . Any point beyond breakpoint is
mostly free chlorine (HOCL and OCL-)
A. Amount of chlorine required
Theory: 7.6 to 15 times the ammonia nitrogen content of the water
Practice: up to 25 times the ammonia nitrogen content
B. Beyond breakpoint
90% free residual chlorine (HOCL and OCL-)
10% combined chlorine
C. Why must breakpoint chlorination be reached?
• Necessary for the production of free residual chlorine (HOCL and OCL-)
• Reduces taste and odors
• Reduces chloramines
Breakpoint Chlorination
Zone I: Chlorine is destroyed by reducing agents such as
iron, manganese, clay and silt. Chlorine reduced to
chloride
Zone II: Chlorine comes into contact with organics and
ammonia. Chloroorganics and chloramines are formed.
Zone III: Chloroorganics and chloramines are partially
destroyed. Chloramines are broken down and converted to
nitrogen gas which leaves the system
Zone IV: Breakpoint. Beyond this point, free available
residual is formed. Some chloroorganics still remain as
combined residual.
Chlorine demand is difference between applied chlorine and the free chlorine
residual at any two points on the breakpoint curve.
In Zone 1 most of the chlorine
dose gets used by chlorine

Application of Chlorine in
Water Treatment Distribution
• Free Chlorine Residual- chlorine dosed in excess of the demand and
beyond the breakpoint will produce free chlorine residual
HOC (hypochlorous acid) and OCL- (hypochlorite ion).
Free chlorine – 10 to 100 times more effective then
combined residual
•Oxidizes certain taste and odor compounds
like H2S
•Oxidizes Fe+2, Mn+2
•Controls biofilms on filters and mains
Which of the following waters
would have the highest
concentration of
hypochlorous acid?
a. pH of 7
