Examination of the disinfecting properties of calcium peroxide and its suitability for improving hydrodynamic characteristics of surface water bodies

Abstract

The fundamental possibility of using solid peroxides of alkaline-earth metals for water disinfection purposes was explored. The maximum peroxide concentration in solution is achieved with addition of a mixture of boric and phosphoric acids. Water treatment with calcium peroxide leads to stable dissolved oxygen levels and improves some hydrochemical characteristics of surface water bodies.
