chlorine-based water treatment. The current standard methods are inadequate for the discrimination of_x000D_
molecular species such as chlorine dioxide (ClO2) from ionic compounds such as chlorite (ClO2-) and chlorate_x000D_
(ClO3-). The development of a simple method with reasonable error, accuracy for field use, and reliability in_x000D_
laboratory settings has the potential to greatly enhance quality control. The proposed Engage Plus project will_x000D_
build on the previously funded Engage collaboration between inorganic chemists at the University of Manitoba_x000D_
and the water-purification experts at Osorno Enterprises, Inc., a Winnipeg-based bio-environmental company_x000D_
and industry leader in water quality and disinfection, specializing in tailored solutions for small communities,_x000D_
hospitals and industry. The proposed project will expand on results from the Engage collaboration to_x000D_
