What is HCL Solution?

HCl solution is a mixture of hydrochloric acid and water to obtain a specific concentration. It is a highly corrosive and strong acid that is widely used in various industries and applications. The concentration of HCl in the solution determines its strength and effectiveness for specific purposes.

HCL 4% vs HCL 5%

Hydrochloric Acid 4% Solution (or 5%) refers to the percentage of HCL present in an aqueous solution. These solutions are commonly used in drinking water purification, where a less concentrated acid is required.  In this case, the HCL 4% or 5% acts as an activator solution used in combination with sodium chlorite in equal parts to produce chlorine dioxide gas in water.

Is HCL a Water Purifier?

Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is not a water purifier on its own. It is primarily used as an activator in the process of generating chlorine dioxide from sodium chlorite. While HCl does have some disinfectant properties, it is not typically used as a standalone water purification solution.

CDS vs HCL: The Difference

When discussing Hydrochloric Acid solution, it is important to differentiate it from CDS (Chlorine Dioxide Solution). Although both are used in water treatment, they have different properties and applications.

HCl, also known as hydrochloric acid, is commonly used for pH adjustment and neutralization of alkaline substances. It is an acidic solution that helps in maintaining the desired pH level in water systems.

On the other hand, CDS is a chlorine dioxide-based solution used for water disinfection. It is a powerful oxidizing agent that helps in killing bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms present in water. CDS is primarily used as a disinfectant rather than for pH adjustment.
