Trichloroisocyanuric acid is an organic compound with the formula (C3Cl3N3O3). It is used as an industrial disinfectant, bleaching agent and reagent in organic synthesis. [1] [2] [3] This white crystalline powder, which has a strong chlorine odor, is sometimes sold in tablet or granular form for domestic and industrial use. Trichloroisocyanuric acid salts are known as trichloroisocyanurates.
Application
These compounds are disinfectants, algicides and bactericides, especially for swimming pools and dyes, and are also used as bleaching agents in the textile industry. It is widely used in civil sanitation for ponds and spas, preventing and curing diseases in livestock and fisheries, fruit and vegetable preservation, wastewater treatment, as an algicide for recycled water in industry and air conditioning, in anti-shrink treatment for wool, for treating seeds and in organic chemical synthesis. It is used in chemical synthesis because it is easy to store and transport a source of chlorine gas, is not subject to restrictions on the delivery of harmful gases, and its reaction with hydrochloric acid produces relatively pure chlorine. [5]
Trichloroisocyanuric acid as used in swimming pools is easier to handle than chlorine gas. It dissolves slowly in water, but when it reacts, the cyanuric acid concentration in the pond will build up.
