chlorination
Pool chemical treatment
Chlorination is the process of adding chlorine to something, most commonly water.
Municipal water supplies undergo chlorination to kill bacteria and other microorganisms, making the water safe to drink.
Swimming pools require regular chlorination to maintain sanitary conditions.
The term extends to industrial processes where chlorine is introduced to chemicals or materials for various purposes, such as bleaching or disinfection.
