And Possibly Sodium Hypochlorite (Naclo
OZONATED SALINE
Are we Creating Hypochlorous Acid (HClO) and possibly Sodium Hypochlorite (NaClO- …Bleach)? OZONATED SALINE Ongoing Discussion: • Between Physicians and Chemists • Saline solution is Na+ and Cl- ions in aqueous solution. Does the Ozone react with the chloride ion (Cl-) to form Hypochlorite ClO- ? • Does the Hypochlorite then form Hypochlorous Acid (HClO-) ? • Is it possible to also form Sodium Hypochlorite (NaClO) or “Bleach”?

• Ozonating the Saline did not change the pH (5.5) • BUT! Hypochlorous Acid has a pH range of 3 - 7 • Lack of pH change can be considered 95% proof that the Hypochlorous Aicd is not there • But! This is not absolute conclusive evidence… • After countless conversations with chemists and an exhaustive search of universities, researchers, and published data we found this….

The lack of the ClO- absorption peak in the NaCl + O3 Curve (2) proves that ClO- did not accumulate during the ozonation of the NaCl. OZONATED SALINE Razomovskii et al: Conclusion: Spectrophotometric and Gravimetric methods showed that the decomposition of Ozone in Aqueous Solutions of NaCl is not accompanied by the formation of products other than Oxygen. In particular, there are no appreciable amounts of hypochlorites or chlorates.
This is the most detailed and thorough study we have ever seen on this topic. Their experimental evidence and the analysis of the chemistry is extraordinary.

Ozone Concentrations of 10, 25, 35, 100 ug/ml were used. UV AND IR Absorption Analysis were utilized UV Absorption Curve of NaClO used as a reference displayed that ClO- absorption was at 290 nm (as in the previous study) If ClO- existed in the Ozonated Saline it would show absorption at this 290 nm of the UV Spectrum.

IR Spectra of Aqueous Solutions of Ozonated Sodium Chloride as well as IR Spectra of their concentrates or dry residues show that they do not even contain trace quantities of chlorine / oxygen containing ions (ClO2, ClO3, ClO4)
“This data proves that even long lasting bubbling of 0.9% Sodium Chloride with different concentrations of Ozone (up to 100 ug/ml) does not lead to formation of chlorine – oxygen – containing ions.”
