Abstract
Multilayered electrolyte compositions and methods for their manufacture and use are described. The compositions can have an inner core and one or more coating layers. The compositions can contain at least one chlorine source and at least one citrate salt. The compositions are useful for treating water to improve safety, among other things.
Claims25
A multilayered electrolyte composition comprising a core layer, an inert layer, and a disinfection layer, wherein:
- the core layer comprises at least one citrate salt;
- the inert layer comprises a component that does not chemically react with at least one water disinfection agent;
- and
- the disinfection layer comprises the at least one water disinfection agent, wherein at least one water disinfection agent is chlorine dioxide.
A multilayered electrolyte composition comprising:
- a core layer comprising at least one citrate salt and at least one colored dye;
- a disinfection layer comprising at least one water disinfection agent;
- and
- an inert layer comprising a component that does not chemically react with at the least one water disinfection agent,
- wherein the at least one colored dye is selected from FD&C Blue No. 1-Brillian Blue FCF, E133 (blue shade), FD&C Blue No. 2-Indigotine, E132 (indigo shade), FD&C Green No. 3-Fast Green FCF, E143 (turquoise shade), FD&C Red No. 40-Allura Red AC, E129 (red shade), FD&C Yellow No. 5-Tartrazine, E102 (yellow shade), FD&C Yellow No. 6-Sunset Yellow FCF, E110 (orange shade), or combinations thereof.
A multilayered electrolyte composition comprising a core layer, a sealant layer, an inert layer, a disinfection layer, and a moisture barrier layer, wherein:
- the core layer comprises sodium chloride, potassium chloride, trisodium citrate dihydrate, and a colored dye;
- the sealant layer comprises hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC);
- the inert layer comprises glucose;
- the disinfection layer comprises chlorine dioxide and an effervescent agent;
- and
- the moisture barrier layer comprises polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).
A method of using a multilayered electrolyte composition, the method comprising:
- providing a multilayered electrolyte composition;
- and
- contacting the multilayered electrolyte composition with untreated water to form treated water;
- wherein:
- the multilayered electrolyte composition comprises a core layer, an inert layer, and a disinfection layer;
- the core layer comprises at least one citrate salt;
- the inert layer comprises a component that does not chemically react with at least one water disinfection agent;
- and
- the disinfection layer comprises the at least one water disinfection agent, wherein the at least one water disinfection agent is chlorine dioxide.
