Description

Technical Field

[0002] Chlorine in water primarily originates from the chlorination of drinking water or wastewater to kill or inhibit microorganisms, and from the chlorination of electroplating wastewater to decompose toxic cyanides. However, chlorine is a highly volatile medium. In electroplating, drinking water, and wastewater treatment, insufficient chlorine content is insufficient to effectively kill viruses or inhibit microorganisms; conversely, excessive chlorine can combine with other substances to harm the human body, such as combining with phenol-containing water to form harmful chlorine compounds like chlorophenols. Therefore, accurate detection of total chlorine content in water is essential. Existing total chlorine detection devices have certain shortcomings in terms of structural design, detection accuracy, and ease of operation, failing to adequately meet practical detection needs.
