Further, this invention relates to a method of stimulating and increasing plant growth, and corresponding yields, comprising adding the above-defined compositions to the soil in which the plants being treated grow.

Abstract: The instant invention is directed to synergistic antimicrobial admixtures comprising 2-bromo-2-bromomethylglutaronitrile, 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and its use in inhibiting microbial growth.

Abstract: The instant invention is directed to a method for determining the concentration of sulfonate and/or polycarboyxlate compounds in an aqueous solution comprising:(a) adjusting the pH of a portion of the aqueous solution to less than 3.0 when measuring sulfonate concentration or to between 3.0 and 12.0 when measuring polycarboxylate concentration;(b) adding an effective amount of an aqueous solution containing a metachromatic dye to the pH-adjusted portion of Step (a);(c) measuring the absorbance of the admixture resulting from Step (b) at a wavelength between 300 nm and 700 nm; and(d) comparing the absorbance from Step (c) with absorbances of standard samples containing known concentrations of sulfonate and/or polycarboxylate compounds and said effective amount of the dye solution of Step (b), thereby determining the sulfonate and/or polycarboxylate concentration of the portion of Step (a).

Abstract: An improved method for detackifying over-sprayed paint, lacquer or enamel entrained in the circulating water of paint spray booths comprises maintaining in the wash water a small amount of an alkaline zinc solution containing ammonium hydroxide and ammonium chloride.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a method for controlling the formation of silica/silicate deposits in aqueous systems by adding an effective amount, preferably at least 0.1 ppm, of an imine polymer, a phosphonate and, optionally, a source of molybdate or borate ions to the aqueous system being treated.

Abstract: Aromatic sulfonamides with a saturated heterocycle fused thereto are carbonic anhydrase inhibitors useful in the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure.

Abstract: The instant invention is directed to a method for deinking cellulosic fibrous material impregnated with ink wherein a mixture of said material and water is stirred in the presence of a deinking agent, the improvement wherein the deinking agent is a hydrolyzed copolymer of dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride and acrylamide.
