 | | Therefore, as freezing proceeds, the chlorite and acid concentrations in the liquid phase continuously increase to the point of sufficiently high relative chlorous acid levels that disproportionation is accelerated, even at temperatures -OOC. |
 | | The chloride ion in the water, averaging --3.25% as sodium chloride, is an effective catalyst for the rapid degradation of chlorous acid embodied in the frozen solution of acidified sodium chlorite. |
 | | This is seen in the data shown above in Table 1, where sodium chlorite concentrations of 500, 850 and 1200 ppm gave rise to CIO, levels in the chlorine dioxide-containing ice of 56.1, 59.5 and 68. |
