text: A conventional method of manufacturing an aqueous solution (chlorous acid aqueous solution) comprising chlorous acid (HClO 2 ) that can be used as a sterilizing agent would generate chlorous acid (HClO 2 ) by adding hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), to an aqueous solution of sodium chlorate (NaClO 3 ), in an amount required to produce chlorous acid by a reducing reaction of chloric acid (HClO 3 ) obtained by adding sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) or an aqueous solution thereof to an aqueous solution of sodium chlorate (NaClO 3 ) so that the aqueous solution of sodium chlorate is in an acidic condition.
