Abstract: This invention provides a method of producing granules. This method comprises roll compaction of a 1,3-dihalo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin/binder blend, followed by feeding the compacted product obtained from the roll compactor into a mechanical device, where the compacted product is broken into granules. The blend comprises (i) at least one powdery or finely-divided 1,3-dihalo-5,5-dialkylhydantoin in which each halogen atom is either chlorine or bromine, in which one of the alkyl groups in the 5-position is a methyl group, in which the other alkyl group in the 5-position has in the range of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and in which the particle size is larger than about 20 microns, and (ii) a binder quantity of a micronized synthetic polyolefin-based hydrocarbon wax. The binder quantity of wax is in the range of about 0.5 to about 2 wt %, based on the total weight of the 1,3-dihalo-5,5-dialkylhydantoin and the wax.

Abstract: The process enables highly effective N-halogenation of a compound having one or more halogenatable amido or imido functional groups in the molecule. The process involves, for example, concurrently feeding into a reactor (i) water, inorganic base, and the compound to be N-halogenated, e.g., a hydantoin, and a feed of (ii) a brominating agent and/or a chlorinating agent. The proportions of these feeds are such that the pH is kept within the range of ca. 5.5-8.5 (preferably 6.5-8.5, and most preferably 6.8-7.2) and one or more of the amido or imido nitrogen atoms is substituted by a bromine or chlorine atom. A feature of the process is that it can be conducted at elevated temperatures as high as about 90° C. without appreciable thermal decomposition of reactants or product. The resultant product continuously precipitates in high yield and purity. Moreover, products can be produced that are very pale yellow to almost pure white in appearance.

So far as is known, never before have 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin particulate solids been converted into a compacted form by any method.

Abstract: The inventors have discovered that partially halogenated hydantoins exhibit superior antimicrobial efficacy and decreased performance additive decomposition rates than fully halogenated hydantoins, such as dichlorodimethyl hydantoin (DCDMH). Partially halogenated hydantoins are solutions containing monochlorohydantoin and, optionally, dihalogenated hydantoin or non-halogenated hydantoin. The present invention is a method of reducing slime in a circulating water slurry comprising organic matter and one or more performance additives, such as optical brighteners, while minimizing decomposition of the performance additives. The method comprises adding one or more partially halogenated hydantoins, such as Cl1.1-chlorodimethyl hydantoin, to the slurry. The concentration of partially halogenated hydantoin maintained in the slurry generally ranges from about 0.01 to about 50 ppm (expressed as Cl2). This method is particularly useful for circulating water slurries in paper processing.
