Introduction
Absorption of chlorine in water involves not only physical
solution, C12(as), but also chemical reaction. The reaction
which takes place is:
+ HOCl+H,O++Cl- ...............(2)
..........(3)
HOCl+H20 k H 3 0 + +CIO- ..................... (4)
Clz + CI- % (213- ....................................... ( 5 )

The different reactions suggest that there is a strong dependence of chlorine solubility on hydrogen ion concentration, since the equilibrium of the various reactions will be
affected by pH.
Similarly, sodium chloride being a strong electrolyte is
virtually completely dissociated producing C1- ions in solution which in turn at least affects the equilibrium position
of some of the reactions. The solubility of chlorine in brine

For solution concentrations of: Na2S04, 0.1-0*9 %; ZnSO,, 0.07-0.3 %; H,S04, 0.1-0.3 %, the
following equations applied:
log (breakthrough volume) = - 0.124 (log% Na,SO,) - 1.57 (log % HZS04)- 0.987 (log% ZnSO,) 0.780(k 0.045)
and
log (equilibrium volume) = -0,139 (log% Na2S04) -0-987 (log% H,S04) -0.663 (log% h S 0 4 ) f

Nomograms were constructed relating breakthrough volume and equilibrium volume to solution concentration.
