A method of improving the rate of dissolution in water of low solubility compounds by combining a low solubility compound with a rheology additive that is made of platelets or particles which orient together with ionic or hydrogen bonds. The inventive method also may improve the hydrolytic stability of hydraulically unstable low solubility compounds.

Aqueous suspensions of low solubility and low stability water additives

Stable solutions of bromonitromethane are prepared and shown to be useful as an antimicrobial in a broad spectrum of applications. Bromonitromethane is applied using a stable aqueous solution or is generated from products which act as bromonitromethane donors. Bromonitromethane solutions are stabilized by the addition of a mineral acid.

Stabilized solutions of bromonitromethane and their use as biocides

A method for providing aqueous solutions of HOBr or HOCl which includes adding bleach (NaOCl) to a solution of HBr or HCl an identified absorbance or color change in the resulting solution is detected. Dialkylhydantoins are optionally added to the resulting solution to suppress the formation of halate ions. The method provides a simple and reliable method for producing accurately defined solutions of hypohalous acids, which are useful in a variety of ways, including for disinfecting, cleaning, and odor control purposes.

Halogen compositions for water treatment

A method for providing aqueous solutions of HOBr or HOCl which includes adding bleach (NaOCl) to a solution of HBr or HCl until an identified absorbance or color change in the resulting solution is detected. Dialkylhydantoins are optionally added to the resulting solution to suppress the formation of halate ions. The method provides a simple and reliable method for producing accurately defined solutions of hypohalous acids, which are useful in a variety of ways, including for disinfecting, cleaning, and odor control purposes.
