Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2)
ClO2 is widely used in the pulp industry, and combines high brightness bleaching characteristics with little degradation of the pulp. Chlorine dioxide is inherently unstable and can break down, releasing free chlorine. The implications of this are twofold: the breakdown is an exothermic reaction, which produces short, high temperature flashes of heat that could be beyond the rated temperature capacity of the pipe. Second, many materials that are adequate to handle chlorine dioxide will react in the presence of free chlorine. Any material that can handle wet chlorine is generally capable of handling chlorine dioxide.		Typical properties of ClO 2 anhydrous Vapor pressure of chlorine dioxide Solubility of ClO 2 in water
