METHOD OF USING TRICHLOROISOCYANURIC ACID AND AN ALKALI BROMIDE IN PAPER PROCESS SYSTEMS

摘要

A method for inhibiting microbial growth in a paper process system prone to suchgrowth comprising adding to said system an effective amount of a composition comprising trichloroisocyanuric acid and an alkali bromide is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment these components are delivered to the system being treated as a single composition and in a weight ratio greater than about 3:1. This composition can be added either by continuous feeding, semi-continuous feeding or slug feeding. The invention also contemplates compositions comprising a paper process stream containing an effective amount of a composition comprising trichloroisocyanuric acid and an alkali bromide.
