1. Calcium hypochlorite
Uses
Calcium hypochlorite is an inorganic compound with formula Ca(ClO)2.As
a mixture with lime and calcium chloride, it is marketed as chlorine powder
or bleach powder for water treatment and as a bleaching agent.[1] This
compound is relatively stable and has greater available chlorine than sodium
hypochlorite (liquid bleach).[2] It is a white solid, although commercial
samples appear yellow. It strongly smells of chlorine, owing to its slow
decomposition in moist air. It is not highly soluble in water and is more
preferably used in soft to medium-hard water. It has two forms: dry and
hydrated.
Sanitation
Calcium hypochlorite is commonly used to sanitize public swimming pools
and disinfect drinking water. Generally the commercial substance is sold
with a purity of a 68% (with other additives and contaminants varying based
upon the product's intended purpose). For instance as a swimming pool
chemical it is often mixed with cyanuric acid stabilizers and anti-scaling
agents (in order to reduce the loss of chlorine from ultraviolet radiation and
to prevent calcium hardening). Calcium hypochlorite is also used in
kitchens to disinfect surfaces and equipment.[3] Other common uses
include bathroom cleansers, household disinfectant sprays, algaecides,
herbicides,andlaundrydetergents.
Organicchemistry
Calcium hypochlorite is a general oxidizing agent and therefore finds some
use in organic chemistry.[4] For instance the compound is used to cleave
glycols, α-hydroxy carboxylic acids and keto acids to yield fragmented
aldehydes or carboxylic acids.[5] Calcium hypochlorite can also be used in

2. Production
Calcium oxychloride is produced industrially by treating lime
(Ca(OH)2) with chlorine gas. The reaction can be conducted in stages to
give various compositions, each with different concentration of calcium
hypochlorite, together with unconverted lime and calcium chloride. The

Bleaching powder is not a simple mixture of calcium hypochlorite,
calcium chloride, and calcium hydroxide. Instead, it is a mixture
consisting principally of calcium hypochlorite Ca(OCl)2, dibasic
calcium hypochlorite, Ca3(OCl)2(OH)4, and dibasic calcium chloride,
Ca3Cl2(OH)4.[7]Itismadefromslightlymoistslakedlime.
Safety
Calcium hypochlorite is stored dry and cold, away from any organic
material and metals. The hydrated form is safer to handle.
