Calcium Hypochlorite is appropriate for both drinking water and wastewater applications.

Production of Calcium hypochlorite:
Calcium hypochlorite is produced industrially by treating moist slaked lime (Ca(OH)2) with chlorine.

The one-step reaction is shown below:
2 Cl2 + 2 Ca(OH)2 → Ca(OCl)2 + CaCl2 + 2 H2O

Industrial setups allow for the reaction to be conducted in stages to give various compositions, each producing different ratios of calcium hypochlorite, unconverted lime, and calcium chloride.
In one process, the chloride-rich first stage water is discarded, while the solid precipitate is dissolved in a mixture of water and lye for another round of chlorination to reach the target purity.
Commercial calcium hypochlorite consists of anhydrous Ca(OCl)2, dibasic calcium hypochlorite Ca3(OCl)2(OH)4 (also written as Ca(OCl)2·2Ca(OH)2), and dibasic calcium chloride Ca3Cl2(OH)4 (also written as CaCl2·2Ca(OH)2).

Reactions of Calcium hypochlorite:
Calcium hypochlorite reacts rapidly with acids producing calcium chloride, chlorine gas, and water:
Ca(ClO)2 + 4HCl → CaCl2 + 2Cl2 + 2H2O

Preparation of Calcium hypochlorite:
Calcium hypochlorite is commercially available in Calcium hypochlorite anhydrous and hydrated forms and is one of the key ingredients of chlorine powder and bleaching powder.
Ca(ClO)2 is produced on an industrial scale via the reaction of chlorine gas with calcium hydroxide.

The chemical equation for this reaction is provided below:
2Ca(OH)2 + 2Cl2 → Ca(ClO)2 + H2O + CaCl2

Generally, bleaching powder is a mixture of calcium hypochlorite, Calcium hypochlorite dibasic form (Ca(ClO2).2Ca(OH)2), and the dibasic form of calcium chloride (CaCl2.2Ca(OH)2).
Since Calcium hypochlorite contains two ClO– ions, Calcium hypochlorite has a high chlorine availability when compared to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl).

Structure of Calcium hypochlorite:
Calcium hypochlorite consists of one Ca+ ion and two ClO– ions.
Each chlorite ion has a charge of -1 whereas the calcium ion has a charge of +2.
Therefore, one calcium cation can form ionic bonds with two hypochlorite ions.

Properties of Calcium hypochlorite:

Physical Properties:
Calcium hypochlorite is a white/grey solid at room temperatures.
Calcium hypochlorite solubility in water is 21g/100 mL and Calcium hypochlorite reacts with the water when dissolved.

Calcium hypochlorite solubility in hard water is relatively low when compared to Calcium hypochlorite solubility in soft/medium-hard water.
Calcium hypochlorite has a strong smell of chlorine (because Calcium hypochlorite reacts with the water molecules present in air).

Chemical Properties:
Calcium hypochlorite acts as a strong base since Calcium hypochlorite readily accepts H+ When dissolved in water, the hypochlorite anion accepts a proton from H2O, liberating an OH– ion.
The chemical reaction is given by ClO– + H2O → HClO + OH–

Calcium hypochlorite is also a powerful oxidizing agent since Calcium hypochlorite can readily accept an electron.
Calcium hypochlorite reacts with hydrochloric acid, yielding calcium chloride (CaCl2), water, and chlorine gas (Cl2).
The chemical equation for this reaction is 4HCl + Ca(ClO)2 → CaCl2 + Cl2 + H2O

Pharmacology and Biochemistry of Calcium hypochlorite:

Bionecessity:
Hypochlorous ions are physiologically present in the human body, being formed by white blood cells (neutrophils and monocytes) as a powerful antimicrobial agent during inflammation process.
When the recognition of "non-self" proteins in an invading micro-organism triggers the immune response, the enzyme myeloperoxidase located in mammalian neutrophils catalyses hypochlorous acid formation trough the oxidation of chloride ion in combination with hydrogen peroxide.

The endogenously formed hypochlorous acid plays a key role in the process of phagocytosis through which bacteria are killed.
Due to Calcium hypochlorite potent cytotoxic action, hypochlorite is also responsible for neutrophil-mediated tissue damage associated with the inflammatory response.

Calcium hypochlorite high efficiency as antimicrobial agent is associated with the lack of a catalytically active detoxifying mechanism for HOCl in both bacteria and mammalian cells.
Although Calcium hypochlorite has been suggested that HOCl-induced cytotoxicity can be associated to the degradation of a number of functionally important molecules the primary mechanism of action is still not fully elucidated.

Action Mechanism of Calcium hypochlorite:
Hypochlorous ions are physiologically present in the human body, being formed by white blood cells (neutrophils and monocytes) as a powerful antimicrobial agent during inflammation process.
When the recognition of "non-self" proteins in an invading micro-organism triggers the immune response, the enzyme myeloperoxidase located in mammalian neutrophils catalyses hypochlorous acid formation trough the oxidation of chloride ion in combination with hydrogen peroxide.

History of Calcium hypochlorite:
Charles Tennant and Charles Macintosh developed an industrial process for the manufacture of Chloride of Lime in the late 18th Century.
Calcium hypochlorite was patented in 1799 and used heavily during World War I for disinfecting the trenches and wounds.

Safety of Calcium hypochlorite:
Calcium hypochlorite is a strong oxidizing agent, as Calcium hypochlorite contains a hypochlorite ion at the valence +1 (redox state: Cl+1).

Calcium hypochlorite should not be stored wet and hot, or near any acid, organic materials, or metals.
The unhydrated form is safer to handle.
