Abstract: The present invention relates to aqueous alkaline bleach compositions containing hydrogen peroxide. Under alkaline conditions, it is particularly difficult to prevent the hydrogen peroxide decomposing excessively rapidly during storage, but the addition of an alkaline additive minimizes any change in the pH of washing solutions obtained by dissolution of generally bleach free washing compositions containing anionic surfactants. Hydrogen peroxide-containing aqueous alkaline bleach having acceptable peroxide stability can be obtained by employing ethanol or isopropanol in conjunction with a phosphonate, especially ethylene (diamino tetramethylene phosphonate,) particularly with a polyhydroxy carboxylate, preferably gluconate, or an amino acetate. The liquid bleach can contain a small proportion of a surfactant.

Abstract: A modified alkaline peroxide pre-bond process for the surface treatment of titanium is useful as a practical production process. In this modified process, an exceptionally wide range of allowable peroxide concentration, namely, from 0.001 molar to 0.2 molar (and preferably 0.001 molar to 0.01 molar) may be tolerated and a novel real-time peroxide monitoring and control technique is employed. The process is further improved by means of the use of stabilizers such as precipitated magnesium silicate which greatly increases bath life-time and reduces the overall operating cost of the process. Solution operating conditions have been defined which permit titanium adherends to be processed satisfactorily over a wide range of hydrogen peroxide concentration. In particular, the acceptable temperature range is 125.degree. F.-165.degree. F. (51.7.degree. C.-73.8.degree. C.); the treatment period is 15 to 25 minutes and the hydroxide concentration is 0.3 to 0.9 molar. The preferred values are approximately 145.degree. F.
