Abstract: A method for producing a haloamine solution with reduced amounts of halogen oxyanions including (a) the on-site generation of a halogen-containing oxidant, such as a solution and (b) reacting on-site the halogen-containing oxidant with a nitrogen source, to thereby produce the haloamine solution.

Abstract: A system and method for calibration of a fluorometer using a calibration cell comprising a sealed container housing one or more calibration solutions of known fluorescence. The inventive calibration device includes a sealed calibration cell housed in a storage chamber that may be permanently or temporarily affixed to the top of a fluorometer such that the calibration solution can be moved by manual or automated means directly from the storage chamber to the fluorometer cell for a calibration operation. All of the solution needed for any given calibration can be contained exclusively, in small quantity, inside the calibration cell.

Abstract: A method to prepare a haloamine, such as a monochloramine in solution, from a solid halogen releaser(s) is described. Also described is a process to form a haloamine in solution using solid reactants. Also, an aqueous haloamine, such as a monochloramine solution, is further described that has a haloamine in solution and a dehalogenated organic compound present. Methods of use are also described.

Abstract: The invention relates to control fungal growth on tanned hides, using cyanodithiocarbimates of formula (I): X is a halogen; R is a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C14 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C14 alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C14 alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted group defined by Y—Ar—(CH2)m— or by Z-(CH2)n—; Ar is a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group selected from phenyl, or naphthyl; Y is H, halogen, NO2, R1, R1O, R1R2N; Z is NC, R1O, R1OC(O), R1OCH2CH2(OCH2CH2)p m ranges from 0 to 3; n ranges from 0 to 3; p ranges from 0 to 3; and R1 and R2 are independently H, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C5 alkyl.

Abstract: A method and composition for killing, preventing, or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms in an aqueous system or on a substrate capable of supporting a growth of microorganisms are provided by providing a lactoperoxidase, hydrogen peroxide or a peroxide source, a halide, other than a chloride, or a thiocyanate, and, optionally, an ammonium source, under conditions in which the lactoperoxidase, peroxide from the hydrogen peroxide or peroxide source, halide or thiocyanate and ammonium from the ammonium source interact to provide an antimicrobial agent to the aqueous system or substrate.
