air stones for chlorinations?
Granted this isn't the first time the idea of using aquarium air stones for lab work( chlorinations & the like specifically) has been brought up
here but as anyone here had much luck using them? and have any of you used the blue air stones without completely ruining the reaction mixture? While
gas dispersion tubes can be had I just thought this might be better for times when a flexible hose or a unusual size dispersion media would be
better.. But improvising can only go so far.I of course could be wrong but opinions are greatly appreciated.

The blue ones fall apart in Ether and I would think many other non-polar solvents...

fall of the ruling country, the people who think they can do whatever they want without anybody else's consent. I've seen this story
before."~Maynard James Keenan

I think chlorine would destroy the binder. Those stones are some inert material glued loosely with an organic substance.
If you can supply the system with chlorine significantly above atmospheric pressure (chlorine gas bottle), use this.
It's a CO<sub>2</sub> diffuser, way less expensive than those for laboratory work, but pretty much the same thing as it's glass only.
The downside is that the pores are quite narrow, so apparatus producing chlorine at atmospheric pressure won't work.
