Methods and compositions to a clathrate that includes chlorine dioxide (ClO2) are provided. Clathrates trap gaseous chlorine dioxide to provide a dry solid material that is stable and easy to use and handle. Stable formulations of gaseous chlorine dioxide are useful as disinfectants.
Claims10
An anhydrous clathrate comprising at least 0.1 weight % ClO2, based on the weight of the clathrate;
- wherein the clathrate is formed from a compound selected from the group consisting of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides wherein said polysaccharides are selected from he group consisting of cellulose, starch and mixtures thereof.
A stable anhydrous formulation of gaseous chlorine dioxide, wherein the chlorine dioxide is entrapped within an anhydrous clathrate by weak non-ionic and non-covalent interactions;
- wherein ClO2 is present at a concentration of at least 0.1 weight %, based on the weight of the clathrate;
- the clathrate is formed from a compound selected from a group consisting of monosaccharides disaccharides, and polysaccharides wherein said polysaccharides are selected from the group consisting of cellulose, starch and mixtures thereof.
An anhydrous clathrate comprising from 0.4 to 3 weight % ClO2, based on the weight of the clathrate;
- wherein the clathrate is formed from a compound selected from the group consisting of monosaccharides and disaccharides.
