Publication number: 20210253454Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for treatment of microbially contaminated water and microbially contaminated surfaces. The compositions can include a micellar system comprising an equilibrium peroxycarboxylic acid and a surfactant.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2019Publication date: August 19, 2021Applicant: EVONIK OPERATIONS GMBHInventors: Ricky MITTIGA, Weidong AN, John ROVISON, Elena PISANOVA
-
Publication number: 20190388574Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for sterilizing a material with a composition comprising peracetic acid and a short chain organic acid stabilizer, for example, oxalic acid or malonic acid. The use of the short chain organic acid stabilizer results in a reduction of the amount of residue deposited on the heating surface used to vaporize the peracetic acid.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2019Publication date: December 26, 2019Applicant: PeroxyChem LLCInventors: Weidong AN, Ricky MITTIGA, John ROVISON

Publication number: 20180271090Abstract: A method of sterilizing a material, said method comprising the steps of: a) providing a sterilizing composition comprising (i) peracetic acid and (ii) a stabilizer selected from the group consisting of citric acid, isocitric acid, aconitic acid and propane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid; b) introducing such sterilizing composition into a hot gaseous stream to produce a peracetic acid vapor; and c) contacting such peracetic acid vapor with the material to be sterilized. The use of such an organic acid stabilizer results in an unexpected reduction in the amount of residue deposited on the heating surface employed to vaporize the sterilizing composition.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2018Publication date: September 27, 2018Applicant: PeroxyChem LLCInventors: John M. ROVISON, Ricky MITTIGA, Donald LAPHAM, Weidong AN
