Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for making metal impregnated bound Carbon block filters. In particular the present invention to a process for preparing a moulded Carbon block filter impregnated with a metal selected from Silver, Copper or Zinc, with relatively low level of variation in metal content across the blocks, relatively lower deviation from the theoretical metal content, and where the leach-rate of metal from the block during use is relatively low.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel biocide composition for use in gravity fed water purification devices and suitable for purifying water for drinking purposes and a process for preparing the novel biocide composition. The biocide tablet composition comprises one or more halogenated 5,5-dialkylhydantoin compound; a chlorine biocide compound selected from trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) or sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) or mixtures thereof; 0.1-1.0% water soluble boron containing compound; wherein the ratio between the halogenated 5,5-dialkylhydantoin compound and chlorine biocide compound is in the range 85:15 to 65:35 and the average particle size of the halogenated 5,5-dialkylhydantoin compound and chlorine biocide compound is in the range 400 to 1200 microns.
