Abstract：In this paper, the absorption spectra of free chlorine in the visible region has been measured after free chlorine in the solution had reacted with N,N-diethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine(DPD). The relation between the absorption spectra and peak wavelength has been discussed. From the experiment of liquor with different concentration, the error of spectral measurement is less than 0.04%. By nonlinear data fitting, the relation between the concentration of free chlorine and the transmittivity has been given.
