Bleaching powder or Calcium hypochlorite (CaOCl2)
Used in Fish pond is working as a disinfectant.
It is used for the disinfection of water in the treatment process.
The chlorine released by the Bleaching powder kills Pathogens (Disease-causing Bacteria).
When bleaching powder dissolves, it reacts with water to under caloric acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ions (OCl-).
Both substances have very distinctive behavior. Underchloric acid is more reactive and is a stronger disinfectant than hypochlorite. Underchloric acid is split into hydrochloric acid (HCl) and atom air oxygen (O). The oxygen atom is a powerful disinfectant.
The disinfecting properties of chlorine in water are based on the oxidizing power of the free oxygen atoms and chlorine substitution reactions.
