Aluminium-chlorine battery was patented by United States Air Force in the 1970s and designed mostly for military applications.
Elemental chlorine contamination of the chlorine dioxide bleaching chemical could in turn lead to the release of persistent organic pollutants (dioxins), potentially causing environmental harm and a subsequent breach of the Stockholm Convention.
In 1923, the famous radical chemist Moses Gomberg proposed a production method of chlorine tetroxide.
Mechanisms which break polymer chains are familiar to biologists because of their effect on DNA: ionizing radiation (most commonly ultraviolet light), free radicals, and oxidizers such as oxygen, ozone, and chlorine.
Where tap water is chlorinated, it should be dechlorinated before use in an aquarium, since chlorine can harm aquatic life in the same way it kills micro-organisms.
Totally chlorine free (TCF) is paper that does not use any chlorine compounds for wood pulp bleaching.
He recommended opening and evacuating abscesses and washing them with warm water and chlorine, an early form of the more modern Carrel-Dakin method of wound treatment.
The first continuous use of chlorine in the United States for disinfection took place in 1908 at Boonton Reservoir (on the Rockaway River), which served as the supply for Jersey City, New Jersey.
In 2013, his book entitled, The Chlorine Revolution: Water Disinfection and the Fight to Save Lives was published by the American Water Works Association.
Hontzfirma made it through the interwar years in tact and, even without the strong guidance of the patriarch (now dead for several years), they managed to land a lucrative government contract with Degesch to build delivery elevators similar to those used in the chlorine gas factories.
Silver lode, deposit of precious metal found as alloy with gold (electrum) and in ores containing sulfur, arsenic, antimony or chlorine; 1859 Comstock Lode in U.S. state of Nevada was largest for its time, but has been eclipsed by 1990 discovery of Cannington Lode in Australian state of Queensland
Indupa (Indústrias Patagonicas) was established in Río Negro Province (Argentina) on September 16, 1948, and became a leading local producer of chlorine, Polyvinyl chloride resins (PVC), and caustic soda.
The first experiment to successfully detect cosmic neutrinos was Ray Davis's chlorine experiment, in which neutrinos were detected by observing the conversion of chlorine nuclei to radioactive argon in a large tank of perchloroethylene.
Elemental chlorine free (ECF) is a technique that uses chlorine compounds rather than chlorine gas.
The Weldon process is a process developed in 1866 by Walter Weldon for recovering manganese dioxide for re-use in chlorine manufacture.
Commercial applications for xylanase include the chlorine-free bleaching of wood pulp prior to the papermaking process, and the increased digestibility of silage (in this aspect, it is also used for fermentative composting).
