liquid chlorine

Dissolved swimming disinfectant

Liquid chlorine is chlorine gas that has been compressed and cooled into liquid form for storage and transport.

It's used primarily for water treatment and industrial applications.

The term also refers loosely to concentrated chlorine solutions used in pools and sanitation: We added liquid chlorine to the pool after the algae bloom.
