Question

I work in a plant (electrolysis) for the production of sodium hypochlorite. The problem I have is that recently the concentration of sodium hypochlorite has dropped a lot. We produce it with a concentration of 15.5% and within 24 hours the concentration drops to 12%.We have optimal storage conditions.Can you tell me where we have the problem?

Answer 1

Sodium hypochlorite does degrade over time. 

The degradation of sodium hypochlorite is proportional to its concentration. Stronger concentrations 

degrade faster than more dilute ones.
