ABSTRACT:
An improvement is provided in a process for the preferential removal of chlorine from an aqueous solution of chlorine dioxide and chlorine which has been prepared by the process of reducing a chlorate with a reducing agent in a strong acid, and wherein the gases produced thereby are dissolved in water. The improvement comprises the step of adding hydrogen peroxide, oxalic acid or a salt of oxalic acid, to a cool (i.e. at a temperature of about 0.degree. C. to about 25.degree. C.) aqueous solution of the chlorine within a period of less than 2.5 hours dioxide and chlorine. Substantially all of the chlorine is destroyed with almost no destruction of the chlorine dioxide.
