Torsten Waldminghaus and his colleagues
@tuda.bsky.social have shown that free available chlorine (FAC) formed in situ plays a key role in the inactivation of E. coli during ClO₂ treatment. Disinfection efficiency depends on pH and natural organic matter composition.

Effect of In Situ-Formed Free Available Chlorine during Chlorine Dioxide-Based Disinfection of Escherichia Coli in the Presence of Natural Organic Matter
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is increasingly used as an alternative to chlorine in oxidative water treatment to mitigate the formation of halogenated disinfection byproducts. However, ClO2 can generate in ...
