The resistance of Naegleria gruberi cysts to chlorine in the presence of cyanuric acid was compared at pH 5 and 7. An amperometric membrane electrode was used to measure HOCl concentrations independently of the chlorinated cyanurate species, thus permitting an analysis of the role of free chlorine versus chlorinated cyanurates in cyst inactivation. In the presence of cyanuric acid, the products of the HOCl residual and the contact time required for 99% cyst inactivation were 8.5 mg . min/liter…

Inactivation of Naegleria gruberi cysts by chlorine dioxide

The effect of cyanuric acid on the disinfection rate of Cryptosporidium parvum in 20-ppm free chlorine.

Current public health recommendations for hyperchlorination and pool remediation are insufficient for pools using cyanurate-stabilized chlorine to achieve a three log inactivation of the parasite.

Application of ozone disinfection to remove Enterococcus seriolicida, Pasteurella piscicida, and Vibrio anguillarum from seawater

Results strongly suggest that ozone treatment at more than 1.0 mg of TROs per liter for several minutes is able to disinfect seawater for mariculture efficiently.

Chlorinated cyanurates in drinking water: Measurement bias, stability, and disinfectant byproduct formation

The current research investigated measurement bias in N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine (colorimetric and portable parallel analyzer), indophenol, amperometric titration, andAmperometric electrode free chlorine methods to inform practical considerations of disinfectant residual stability and regulated DBP formation.

Assessing the Impact of Cyanuric Acid on Bather’s Risk of Gastrointestinal Illness at Swimming Pools

Current regulatory codes for swimming pool disinfection separately regulate free chlorine (FC) and cyanuric acid (CYA). It is well-known that CYA affects disinfection rates by reversibly binding to…

A Drinking Water Relevant Water Chemistry Model for the Free Chlorine and Cyanuric Acid System from 5 to 35 °C.

The current research used a simplified version of the full model (simple model) and estimated the unknown temperature dependence of the two remaining equilibrium constants (K7a and K9a) required for the simple model.

Factors influencing the effectiveness of swimming pool bactericides.

Techniques for culturing, harvesting, and testing bacteria to evaluate bactericidal chemicals for swimming pools are described and faster rates of kill of S. faecalis were obtained with 100 mg of cyanuric acid per liter plus 0.5 mg of chlorine per liter alone.

Effect of disinfectants on pathogenic free-living amoebae: in axenic conditions

The amoebicidal properties of chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ozone, and deciquam 222 were examined in axenic conditions. Naegleria spp. were found to be more sensitive to chlorine and chlorine dioxide…

An evaluation of the inhibitory influence of cyanuric acid upon swimming pool disinfection.

An evaluation of the effect of cyanuric acid on the bactericidal properties of chlorine under laboratory conditions at 200 C, approximately the conditions developed by Butterfield, et al, found that at a pH of 7.0, the time required to effect a 99 per cent kill was 0.5 minutes.
