Claims17
In a method of treating a mineral slurry to inhibit bacterial growth by adding an effective amount of a biocide to the mineral slurry, the improvement comprising adding an effective amount of one or more of sodium or potassium N-methyldithiocarbamate and methylammonium monomethyldithiocarbamate to the mineral slurry to inhibit bacterial growth.
In a method of treating water used in an oil field application to inhibit bacterial growth by adding an effective amount of a biocide to the water, the improvement comprising adding an effective amount of methylammonium monomethyldithiocarbamate to the water to inhibit bacterial growth.
In a method of treating adhesives, coatings, and high viscosity suspensions to inhibit bacterial growth by adding an effective amount of a biocide to the coatings, adhesives, and high viscosity suspensions, the improvement comprising adding an effective amount of one or more of sodium or potassium N-methyldithiocarbamate and methylammonium monomethyldithiocarbamate to one or more of the coatings, adhesives, and high viscosity suspensions to inhibit bacterial growth.
