  • Patent number: 11666055
    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a one-liquid stabilized hypobromous acid composition which contains substantially no bromate ions, has excellent sterilization performance, exhibits almost no corrosiveness relative to metals, and displays excellent storage stability. This method for producing the stabilized hypobromous acid composition includes a step in which a reaction is induced by adding, under an inert gas atmosphere, bromine to a mixed solution including water, an alkali hydroxide, and sulfamic acid, wherein the proportion of bromine added is not more than 25 wt % relative to the total weight of the composition.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210387886
    Abstract: Provided is a sterilization method for a water system, the sterilization method being capable of suppressing the production amount of a nitrosamine compound while exhibiting a sufficient sterilization effect in precursor-containing water that contains a nitrosamine compound precursor. In the sterilization method for a water system, a stabilizing composition containing a bromine-based oxidizing agent or a chlorine-based oxidizing agent and a sulfamic acid compound is added to the precursor-containing water that contains the nitrosamine compound precursor.

  • Patent number: 7105095
    Abstract: A water-soluble lithium salt is added as a tracer substance along with a water treatment chemical to water to be treated. The concentration of lithium ions is electrochemically or optically measured using a lithium ion sensitive substance, so as to perform concentration control of the water treatment chemical added to water to be treated. An ion selective electrode, ion selective field effect transistor, or ion optode may be employed to perform the electrochemical or optical measurement using a lithium ion sensitive substance.
