I am trying to grasp hypochlorous acid, HCL, and any process that involves water and salt. The rise of hypochlorous generators and uses has led me here. I don't know where else to find reliable answers and was hoping someone that actually knows what they are talking about could help me understand.
To my knowledge these are the ways hypochlorous can be made.
salt + water + electrolysis= some hocl % some chorite and?
salt + water + vinegar + electrolysis= a higher hocl %, chorite, and?
salt + water + hcl + electrolysis= would this yield an even higher percent of hocl?
chlorine + h20 = hocl and hcl << can make stable hocl by taking chlorine gas and dissolving it into a sodium hydroxide solution?? >>
dichlorine monoxide + water = hocl
1. Which formula would yield the highest amount of HOCL?
2. Which formula would produce the most stable HOCL?
Also, if your ph and ppm read fine, but your solution reeks of bleach-what happened? (Assuming you used salt, water, vinegar + electrolysis) (correct ratio & run time to a liter of water)
I would pay someone for their time. I'm not looking for a free hand out, but I really need help understanding all of this better.
Sorry for the complete butchering of the formulas. 😐 Is there anywhere that I can go that someone would be able to help me in person or over the phone?
Thank you in advance!
Sincerely, a lost and confused individual.
