摘要:
A method and composition for killing, preventing, or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms in an aqueous system or on a substrate capable of supporting a growth of microorganisms are provided by providing a lactoperoxidase, hydrogen peroxide or a peroxide source, a halide, other than a chloride, or a thiocyanate, and, optionally, an ammonium source, under conditions in which the lactoperoxidase, peroxide from the hydrogen peroxide or peroxide source, halide or thiocyanate and ammonium from the ammonium source interact to provide an antimicrobial agent to the aqueous system or substrate.
摘要:
The invention is a method to inhibit the growth of at least one microorganism in an aqueous system capable of supporting such growth. This includes controlling, and preferably preventing, slime formation in the aqueous system. The method mixes a persulfate salt, a bromide salt, and water under conditions sufficient to form an active bromine-containing, [Br+], solution and then adds an effective amount of the active bromine-containing solution to an aqueous system to inhibit the growth of at least one microorganism in the aqueous system. Also, the invention is a method to inhibit the growth of at least one microorganism on a substrate capable of supporting such growth. The method contacts the substrate with an effective amount of active bromine-containing solution to inhibit the growth of at least one microorganism on the substrate. Combining an amine source with the persulfate salt and bromide salts generates an active bromine-containing solution which also contains bromamines.

摘要:
A method for increasing the effectiveness of a biocide is described. In the method, at least one biocide and at least one diethanolamide are applied to a substrate or aqueous system subject to the growth of microorganisms. The diethanolamide is applied in an amount effective to increase the biocidal activity of the biocide. Biocidal compositions are described where the biocide and the diethanolamide are present in a combined amount effective to control the growth of at least one microorganism. Methods for controlling the growth of microorganisms on various substrates and in various aqueous systems are also described. The combination of the biocide and the diethanolamide is particularly useful as a biocide in the leather industry, the lumber industry, the papermaking industry, the textile industry, the agricultural industry, and the coating industry, as well as in industrial process waters.
摘要:
An emulsifier composition containing 1,4-bis(bromoacetoxy)-2-butene (BBAB) is disclosed which has the ability to disperse and/or dissolve uniformly in aqueous systems thereby effectively controlling the growth of microorganisms. The composition contains BBAB and a nonionic emulsifier. A method for inhibiting the growth of microorganisms with this composition in an amount effective to control the growth of microorganisms is also disclosed.
