Chlorination refers to the process of adding chlorine
in organic compounds. In some cases, chlorine is used as a substitution in
these compounds. The most common type of chlorination is water chlorination.
This is the process of adding either chlorine or a chlorine compound in small
quantities to tap water destroy certain types of bacteria and harmful
microorganisms. This, in turn, prevent waterborne diseases such as typhoid, dysentery
and cholera from spreading. Water chlorination also helps in oxidization of
organic contaminants.
