Patent number: 10034478Abstract: Compositions having antimicrobial activity contain surface functionalized particles comprising an inorganic copper salt which has low water solubility. These types of inorganic salts may also be introduced in porous particles to yield antimicrobial compositions. The compositions may optionally comprise additional antimicrobial agents, salts with high water solubility, organic acids, salts of organic acids and their esters. The compositions may be added to various fluids used in the petroleum extraction industry, or used as coatings on components used in this industry. These antimicrobial materials may be used for reducing both anaerobic and aerobic bacteria and are also useful for reducing corrosion of ferrous components caused by anaerobic bacteria. Although such compositions may be used for any antimicrobial application, and some of the other important uses of these compositions are in wound care, personal care and waste processing.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2015Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: Agienic, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas R. Krasnow, Anoop Agrawal, Donald R. Uhlmann, John P. Cronin, Murat Akarsu, Ryan J. Reeser, Lori L. Adams
