Reaktionsschritte

The production of chlorine dioxide at pulp mills involves two main steps. In a first step, sulfuric acid reacts with sodium chlorate to produce chloric acid and sodium sulfate by-product (Reaction 1). In a second step, the chloric acid is reduced to chlorine dioxide by reacting with a reducing agent such as methanol, sulphur dioxide, chloride or hydrogen peroxide (Reaction 2).
