Biocides for Multiple Industries
A number of different antimicrobial agents and technical systems have been devised for disinfection and control of microbial growth. Many commercially available active agents are expensive, toxic to humans, non-biodegradable and ecologically questionable. Depending on the application, this may result in toxicologically high-risk contacts and has come under increasing scrutiny in the public. Therefore, there is a growing demand for natural, ecologically and economically favorable antimicrobial agents. However, such natural agents are often poorly water-soluble, may have an obnoxious smell or taste, or are not able to unfold the necessary antimicrobial efficacy adequately at technically achievable concentrations.
Peroxides, especially hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorite and/or hypochlorous acid, are among the most eco-friendly antimicrobial agents and therefore have customarily been applied for antimicrobial water treatment over many years. However, without further modifications, these compounds are considerably volatile and usually will only achieve insufficient antimicrobial efficacy.
