Chlorine gas is commonly used to bleach wood pulp in the paper industry. This gas can effectively remove color from the pulp by breaking down lignin and other impurities. However, there are also alternative bleaching methods, such as oxygen delignification and chlorine dioxide, to reduce environmental impact.

What happens when you mix bleach and pinesoL?

WHAT IS CHLORINE? Chlorine is a poisonous, greenish-yellow gas described as having a choking odor. It is a very corrosive, hazardous chemical. Usually combined with other chemicals, it is used to disinfect water, purify metals, bleach wood pulp and make other chemicals. Household bleach, used to whiten fabrics or remove mold from surfaces, is a 5% solution of a stabilized form of chlorine. Do Not Mix household bleach with base-containing or ammonia-containing cleaners. Dangerous levels of a very harmful gas can be released. Most of the chlorine that enters lakes, streams, or soil evaporates into the air or combines with other chemicals into more stable compounds. Chlorine-containing chemicals that seep through soil down into groundwater can remain unchanged for many years.

Are fumes from bleach flammable?

No. Chlorine gas (though deadly) is non-flammable. However, fumes from chlorine bleach are not chlorine gas. Chlorine gas is Cl2 and is deadly but does not exist in nature, it must be manufactured. Evaporating bleach (NaOCl) generally fumes off oxygen and leaves NaCl (salt). None of these elements are flammable.
