The yield of chlorine dioxide (ClO 2 ) is influenced by chemical conditions (e.g., initial chlorine concentration, alkalinity) and by reactor design (e.g., detention time, method for mixing chemicals). This article describes the design and operation of C1O 2 ‐generating systems used by the Brussels' Intercommunal Waterboard. Improved reactor designs have increased C1O 2 yields from 65–80 percent to >95 percent of the theoretical yield.
