Hypochlorous acid (HOCl or HClO) is a weak acid that forms when chlorine dissolves in water, and itself partially dissociates, forming hypochlorite, ClO−. HClO and ClO− are oxidizers and the primary disinfection agents of chlorine solutions. HClO cannot be isolated from these solutions due to rapid equilibration with its precursor. Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and calcium hypochlorite (Ca(ClO)2), are bleaches, deodorants, and disinfectants.
Uses
In organic synthesis, HClO converts alkenes to chlorohydrins.
In biology, hypochlorous acid is generated in activated neutrophils by myeloperoxidase-mediated peroxidation of chloride ions and contributes to the destruction of bacteria.
In medicine, hypochlorous acid water has been used as a disinfectant and sanitizer.
In disinfection, it has been used in the form of liquid spray, wet wipes, and aerosolized application. Recent studies have shown hypochlorous acid water to be suitable for fog and aerosolized application for disinfection chambers and suitable for disinfecting indoor settings such as offices, hospitals, and healthcare clinics.
In foodservice and water distribution, specialized equipment to generate weak solutions of HClO from water and salt is sometimes used to generate adequate quantities of safe (unstable) disinfectant to treat food preparation surfaces and water supplies. It is also commonly used in restaurants due to its non-flammable and non-toxic characteristics.
In water treatment, hypochlorous acid is the active sanitizer in hypochlorite-based products (e.g. used in swimming pools).
Similarly, in ships and yachts, marine sanitation devices[20] use electricity to convert seawater into hypochlorous acid to disinfect macerated fecal waste before discharge into the sea.
In deodorization, hypochlorous acid has been tested to remove up to 99% of foul odors including garbage, rotten meat, toilet, stool, and urine odors.
Hypochlorous acid has a small molecular weight and is easy to diffuse to the surface of the bacteria and penetrate the cell membrane into the bacteria body, oxidizing the bacteria protein and causing the bacteria to die. It is a new type of disinfectant. In some hospitals in Japan, there will be a hypochlorous acid water disinfection system for various disinfection in the hospital.
