ABSTRACT
Objective To know the probability of water disinfection of railway water supply provided for themselves by using the chlorine dioxide generator based on chemistry way. Methods According to Technical Standard for Disinfection, filter membrane method was used. The water samples were collected from the railway water supply stations, the germicidal tests were conducted in laboratory and on site. Results In a contact time of 0.5 min, the disinfectant solution containing chlorine dioxide of 0.25 mg/L produced by the generator could meet the requirement of disinfection of drinking water. The generator could maintain chlorine dioxide at 0.3-0.5 mg/L in the pipeline of the water supply. The water quality was up to standard after disinfected. Conclusion The chlorine dioxide generator is suitable for water disinfection of railway water supply provided for themselves.
