Abstract: A regenerative water treatment composition and a process of making a regenerative water treatment composition by adhesively coating a first bacteria killing material such as a zinc carrier with a second bacterial killing material such as silver chloride for insitu killing of bacteria and a second bacteria killing material for killing and carrying away the dead bacteria on the silver chloride to allow the silver chloride to continue to kill or damage bacteria that comes into contact with the silver chloride.
Abstract: An improved composition and a method of scavenging oxygen using said composition which comprise oxidizable organic compounds, transition metal catalysts in combination with certain photoinitiators is disclosed. The method comprises initiating scavenging by exposing the composition to UV radiation. The present composition uses certain defined benzophenone derivatives which maintain effectiveness of photoinitiation while providing reduced migration of the photoinitiator from the resin matrix.

Abstract: The invention provides a bleach composition or a dye composition for hair which, during use, includes a mixture of a first composition containing an alkali agent and a second composition containing an oxidizing agent, the bleach or dye composition containing (A) an organic solvent having a partition coefficient (octanol-water) (log P) at 25° C. of 0.3-6 and a molecular weight of 200 or less, in an amount of 1-70 wt. %; (B) an organic solvent having a log P of less than 0.3, in an amount of 0-8 wt. % and less than that of component (A); (C) an alkali agent in an amount of 0.1-10 wt. %; (D) an oxidizing agent in an amount of 0.1-12 wt. % as reduced to H2O2; and (E) water in an amount of 20-70 wt. %, or (A) in an amount of 1-70 wt. %; (B) in an amount of 0-8 wt. % and less than that of component (A); (C) in an amount of 0.1-10 wt. %; (D) in an amount of 0.1-12 wt. % as reduced to H2O2; (E) in an amount of 20-70 wt. %, and (F) a cationic surfactant in an amount of 0.01-10 wt. %, and has a pH of 7.
Abstract: A gel composition containing oxidizing agents and thickening or gelling agents is used to detoxify chemical and biological agents by application directly to a contaminated area. The gelling agent is a colloidal material, such as silica, alumina, or alumino-silicate clays, which forms a viscous gel that does not flow when applied to tilted or contoured surfaces. Aqueous or organic solutions of oxidizing agents can be readily gelled with less than about 30% colloidal material. Gel preparation is simple and suitable for field implementation, as the gels can be prepared at the site of decontamination and applied quickly and uniformly over an area by a sprayer. After decontamination, the residue can be washed away or vacuumed up for disposal.

Abstract: The invention provides an ozonated form of the compound tetrasilver tetroxide, a water disinfection method employing the ozonated tetrasilver tetroxide and compositions comprising the ozonated tetrasilver tetroxide. Examples of compositions of the invention include beverages, sterilants and disinfectants. In addition, the invention provides a method for increasing a half-life of ozone in water, where the method includes providing tetrasilver tetroxide in the water along with the ozone.
Abstract: Active oxygen scavenging compositions and their use in packaging articles are disclosed. The compositions are all plastic materials and are typically deployed as at least one layer in a multi-layered wall of a packaging article such as a bottle, can or film. The compositions are usually used in conjunction with added transition metal catalyst to enhance the uptake of oxygen. Use of the compositions and package constructions disclosed serves to lengthen the shelf life of packaged oxygen sensitive substances and/or diminish the need for refrigeration of the packages.
