Compositions of hypochlorous acid (HOCI) and methods of manufacture thereof

摘要

The invention generally relates to compositions of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and methods of manufacture thereof. In certain aspects, the invention provides air-free compositions of HOCl. In other aspects, the invention provides methods of making HOCl that involve mixing together in water in an air-free environment, a compound that generates a proton (H+) in water and a compound that generates a hypochlorite anion (OCl−) in water to thereby produce air-free hypochlorous acid.

主权项

1. A method of producing hypochlorous acid (HOCl), the method comprising the steps of: mixing together in water in a chamber from which air has been purged, a compound that generates a proton (H+) in water and a compound that generates a hypochlorite anion (OCl−) in water, thereby to produce air-free hypochlorous acid wherein the compound that generates the proton is selected from the group consisting of acetic acid and HCl.
