  Hypochlorite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A hypochlorite compound is a chemical compound containing this group, with chlorine in oxidation state +1.
Hypochlorites are frequently quite unstable — for example, sodium hypochlorite is not available as a solid, since removal of the water from NaClO solution converts it to a mixture of sodium chloride and sodium chlorate.
Hypochlorite is the strongest oxidizer of the generalized chlorates.

 Sodium hypochlorite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A solution of sodium hypochlorite is frequently used as a disinfectant and as a bleaching agent; indeed, often it is simply called "bleach", though other chemicals are sometimes given that name as well.
Sodium hypochlorite has been used for the disinfection of drinking water, at a concentration equivalent to about 1 liter of household bleach per 4000 liters of water is used.
Hypochlorite is a strong oxidizer, and the products of the oxidation reactions are corrosive, and can burn skin and cause eye damage, particularly when used in concentrated forms.

Calcium Hypochlorite is unstabilised (it does not contain cyanurates) and so is more suited for use in indoor pools where chlorine loss through the effects of sunlight are much less.
Calcium Hypochlorite is the preferred method of shock treatment because it is readily soluble and rapidly increases the free chlorine content of the water.

 Parks & Recreation: Chemical imbalance: why one water park switched its water-chemistry system   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
Calcium hypochlorite briquettes are a solid form of chlorine, with an available chlorine concentration of 65 percent.
Calcium hypochlorite briquettes also have up to a two-year shelf life, as opposed to commercial sodium hypochlorite, which can lose one-third of its strength in only 30 days.
Because calcium hypochlorite is a more stable chemical than sodium hypochlorite, it allows for better dosage control and excellent water clarity, and a proper balance in chlorine residual between the leisure pool and the plunge pool is now much more easily maintained.

 19911114 Calcium Hypochlorite (CaCl(2)O(2)).
Calcium hypochlorite (hypochlorous acid, calcium salt, losantin, oxychloride and chlorinated lime) is a white, crystal and oxidizing solid material which looks much like table salt.[1] It has a faint odor of chlorine and is toxic by ingestion, skin contact and inhalation.
Calcium hypochlorite is used as a disinfectant in swimming pools, sewage treatment operations and in water treatment operations.
Fires evolving calcium hypochlorite may be difficult to put out because if calcium hypochlorite is not kept completely dry, it will decompose liberating oxygen and chlorine.

Chlorine is supplied in three basic forms: as sodium hypochlorite (widely known as liquid bleach); as calcium hypochlorite (powder or tablet); and as a gas in 150 lb.
The problem is that sodium and calcium hypochlorite are generally perceived to be less dangerous than gas.
In most reported incidents involving chlorine, the chlorinating agent is calcium or sodium hypochlorite, and the majority of incidents involving the gas were caused by faulty pressure lines on outmoded pressurized systems.

 The Oxidation of Alcohols and Ethers Using Calcium Hypochlorite - [www.rhodium.ws]
Calcium hypochlorite, a relatively stable, and easily stored and used solid hypochlorite oxidant, was found to oxidize secondary alcohols to ketones in excellent yields.
Instead of the hypochlorite, an excellent yield of the corresponding ketone (2-tosylmethylcyclohexanone) was obtained.
The instability of sodium hypochlorite solutions, however, led us to consider other hypochlorite reagents which would be more stable and easier to handle.

 UK P&I Club - Carriage of Calcium Hypochlorite
All of the full-scale tests performed by the International Group on calcium hypochlorite "UN No. 2880" indicates that larger packages can develop a critical condition at temperatures which can be encountered in cargo holds of modern container vessels.
Furthermore, if calcium hypochlorite develops a critical condition (for any reason) it will emit chlorine gas, which is toxic and the run-away reaction will develop extreme heat that will ignite surrounding cargoes, which demonstrates the need to consider the proximity to living quarters in stowage of such cargoes.
We have learnt that shipments of calcium hypochlorite have been loaded on board vessels under different names, which has led to some of the shipments not being declared as dangerous cargo.
