  • Disinfection of aqueous media
    Patent number: 4311598
    Abstract: The present invention relates to processes and compositions for the disinfection of aqueous media and particularly bacteria-containing aqueous effluents, e.g. treated municipal sewage or effluents from paper or food-processing industries, employing hydrogen peroxide-containing compositions as an alternative to chlorine. Specifically, the disinfectant comprises a combination of hydrogen peroxide, a soluble copper salt such as copper sulphate and an autoxisable reducing agent such as ascorbic acid or sodium sulphite, which can be employed in dilute concentrations at pH from 6 to 9, preferably 6.5 to 8. Particularly preferred combinations of the components are of mole ratios 1:1 to 60:1 of hydrogen peroxide:copper: and 5:1 to 1:1.2 copper:reducing agent.
