Abstract: The present invention provides an evaluation method and an evaluation system of free halogen concentration which eliminate the necessity of early exchanging or recycling of catalysts, as compared with a conventional method or system. In the present evaluation method of free halogen concentration, a main flow path of a sample liquid for evaluation and a sub-region that communicates with the main flow path are formed, a potential-measuring electrode is installed in the main path, while a reference electrode is installed in the sub-region at a position where free halogen in the sample liquid has been decomposed. Moreover, free halogen in the sample liquid is decomposed by a free-halogen decomposing substance in the sub-region, and the free halogen concentration is evaluated from the electric potential difference between the reference electrode and the potential-measuring electrode.

Abstract: Disclosed is ice having a hypohalogenous acid concentration of 10 ppm or more and a melting point of −0.03° C. This ice has sufficient sterilizing power resulting from hypohalogenous acid having the above concentration and can be used in the state of ice for along time due to the above melting point. A method of manufacturing the ice is also disclosed.
