NT Labs Koi Care Chloramine-T 50g

Product Information

Kusuri Chloramine T is a powder based treatment against Gill Flukes, Body Flukes, White Spot, Costia and Bacterial Gill Disease, as well as the reduction of pathogenic bacterial levels. In low pH waters (6.5 at the lowest) with soft water (low CaCO3 mg/L), you can dose at about 5.0 mg per liter, while higher pH (8 or above) hard water (high CaCO3 mg/L) will need a greater dose of around 20 mg per liter. Of course, this does depend on other water quality parameters as well as water temperature. For a more general dosage guide, you can utilize this calculator while keeping in mind the water parameters from the table. In Massachusetts, research has been carried out to bring to light the death causes of people that used water disinfected by chlorine or chloramines. The results show that the number of people dying from bladder cancer was higher when the water was chlorinated. When water was disinfected by chloramines, people were more likely to die from pneumonia or flues. This may show that chloramines are less effective than chlorine for the elimination of pathogenic microorganisms.

Do not use in bright sunlight or in hot, humid, thundery conditions. The European drinking water guideline does not contain standards for chloramines. When chloramines are used, few disinfection byproducts, such as trihalomethanes, are formed. However, other disinfection byproducts can form. Examples are toxic halonitrils (cyano chloride), halonitromethanes (chloropicrin) and other nitrogen-rich compounds. Some of these compounds can endanger human health. When the European Drinking Water Directive is revised, standards for these compounds will be added. Drinking chloramine-containing water or using it for boiling and bathing is safe, because of a neutralization of chloramines in the metabolism. However, people with weakened immune systems, such as young children, elderly people, people with HIV and people that undergo chemo therapy, should also be cautious when it comes to the use of chloramine disinfected water.

SAFETY

The sodium salt of p-toluenesulfochloramide, commonly known as chloramine-T, exerts strong oxidizing action in both acidic and alkaline media and thus has been widely used for the oxidimetric determination of a large number of inorganic and organic substances. Is Chloramine-T Safe For Fish & Ponds? Chloramine-T is very reactive in low pH, soft waters, so it’s better suited in ponds with higher pH and harder water. Public domain. M. C. Agrawal, S. P. Mushran. "Mechanism of Oxidation of some Aliphatic Aldehydes by Chloramine-T." Zeitschrift für Naturforschung B 20 1 (1972): 401–404. When large amounts of organic matter are present in the water, organic nitrogen causes the formation of organic chloramines. These do not possess the same disinfection properties as inorganic chloramines. This situation occurs when organic matter contents exceed the 3 ppm boundary. Water that is disinfected by chloramines does not cause a health threat. It can be used for drinking, bathing and washing and is suitable for several daily domestic purposes.

Chloramine-t is extremely reactive, and so should only be used in small doses and as a last resort rather than a first response since even low doses can cause issues such as gill burns and stress. Try utilizing more natural methods such as salt baths before resorting to chloramine-t treatments. Also don’t use chloramine-t while using any other medications or treatments (with the exception of salt), as chloramine-t can and likely will react with them and the results could be quite toxic to your fish.

Synth. 61: 93. doi: 10.15227/orgsyn.061.0093. When chloramines are present, there are usually trace amounts of ammonia and hypochlorite in the water as well. Chloramines are hardly ionic. As a result and because of the low molecular weight, chloramines, mainly monochloramine, are difficult to remove from water by reverse osmosis (RO) or water softening. Boiling and distillation cannot be used either. Substances for chlorine removal cannot be used for the removal of chloramines. Sunlight and aeration may aid chloramine removal.

Chloramines provide a better taste and smell than chlorine. Chloramines are often applied to prevent a chlorine taste or smell.Your dosage depends on your pond or tank size, the water quality parameters, and the fish species that are present as some may be more sensitive than others (rainbow trout, for example, are more tolerant to chloramine-t than, say, goldfish or koi ( 2)). sterilizer, antiseptic, disinfectant, and chemical reagent in the medical and pharmaceutical fields. Uses Drinking water odor and flavor have improved by the application of chloramines from the beginning of the twenty-first century. Eventually chloramines were also used for disinfection. When chloramines are chemically removed, ammonia may be released. The toxic effect that ammonia has on fish can be prevented by the application of biological filters, natural zeolites and pH-control. It is prepared by oxidation of toluenesulfonamide with sodium hypochlorite, with the latter being produced in situ from sodium hydroxide and chlorine (Cl 2): [2]

Inorganic peroxides and oxidants as well as bromine and iodine should be rendered harmless by reduction with acidic sodium thiosulfate solution (Cat. No. 106513); container D or E. Slightly soluble oxidants should be collected separately in container E or I. Chloramines can be used as bleach, disinfectants and oxidators. Organic disinfectants slowly give off chlorine, causing a slower and less aggressive disinfection than with hypochlorite (OCl -). Chloramines can be used to improve odor and flavor of the water when chlorine is used as a disinfectant. Chloramines are also used for the disinfection of drinking water and wastewater and to resist biofouling in cooling water systems. It converts iodide to iodine monochloride (ICl). ICl rapidly undergoes electrophilic substitution predominantly with activated aromatic rings, such as those of the amino acid tyrosine. Thus, chloramine-T is used to incorporate iodine into peptides and proteins. Chloramine-T together with iodogen or lactoperoxidase is commonly used for labeling peptides and proteins with radioiodine isotopes. [6] Certifications [ edit ]

Inorganic chloramines comprise three compounds: monochloramine (NH 2Cl), dichloramine (NHCl 2), and nitrogen trichloride (NCl 3). Monochloramine is of broad significance as a disinfectant for water. [3] Organic chloramines [ edit ] N-Chloropiperidine is a rare example of an organic chloramine. [4] Chloramine-T is often referred to as a chloramine, but it is really a salt (CH 3C 6H 4SO 2NClNa) derived from a chloramine.
