Abstract
A process for substantially reducing the corrosiveness of a composition containing in situ generated sodium hypochlorite in which the sodium hypochlorite is substantially converted to a haloamine.
Claims22
A process for substantially reducing the corrosiveness of a biocidal composition containing in situ generated sodium hypochlorite, wherein the process comprises the following steps of:
- A. generating sodium hypochlorite in situ by passing an electric current through a first aqueous salt water composition;
- B. adding an ammonium-containing component to the first composition containing in situ generated sodium hypochlorite;
- whereby the sodium hypochlorite is substantially converted to a haloamine having biocidal properties and whereby the corrosiveness of the biocidal composition is substantially reduced as compared to the corrosiveness of the first composition containing the in situ generated sodium hypochlorite.
