Efficient stabilizer in controlling self accelerated decomposition temperature of peroxycarboxylic acid compositions with mineral acids

A stabilized homogenous equilibrium peracid composition comprising:

• a peroxycarboxylic acid mixture comprising a C1-C4 peroxycarboxylic acid and a C5-C22 peroxycarboxylic acid;
• a carboxylic acid mixture comprising a C1-C4 carboxylic acid and a C5-C22 carboxylic acid;
• hydrogen peroxide;
• about 12.5 wt. % to about 50 wt. % of a sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and/or methane sulfonic acid;
• a peroxycarboxylic acid stabilizing agent, wherein the stabilizing agent comprises a picolinic acid, or a compound having the following Formula (IA):
• wherein R is OH or —NR1aR1b, wherein R1a and R1b are independently hydrogen or (C1-C6)alkyl;
• wherein R2 is OH or NR2aR2b, wherein R2a and R2b are independently hydrogen or (C1-C6)alkyl;
