Main components of oxidative bactericidal and algal killing agents
The main components of oxidative bactericidal and algal killing agents usually include the following:
Chlorides: such as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA), dichloroisocyanuric acid (DCCA), etc. These compounds oxidize and destroy the cellular structure of microorganisms by releasing chlorine, thereby achieving bactericidal and algal killing effects.
Peroxides: such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), persulfate, etc., can release reactive oxygen species, which have strong oxidation ability and can effectively kill bacteria, viruses, and algae.
Bromine preparations: such as bromochlorohydrin (BCDMH), these compounds destroy microbial cell walls and membranes through oxidation, leading to leakage of cell contents and ultimately killing microorganisms.
Ozone: Ozone (O3) is a strong oxidant that can effectively kill bacteria, viruses, and algae in water, while also degrading organic matter.
Chloramine: Chloramine is a compound formed by the reaction of chlorine and ammonia, such as monochloroamine (NH2Cl) and dichloramine (NHCl2), which have long persistence and can maintain a long-lasting bactericidal effect in water.
Stabilizers and corrosion inhibitors: In order to improve the stability of oxidizing bactericides and reduce corrosion on metal equipment, stabilizers and corrosion inhibitors are usually added.
These components can be combined and proportioned differently based on the specific use and purpose of the bactericidal and algal agents.
