Chlorine dioxide based cleanser/sanitizer

摘要

This invention relates to an improved chlorine dioxide solution or liquid mixture containing a phosphate and, as well, as to a composition for forming the chlorine dioxide and phosphate liquid mixture. This improved chlorine dioxide solution is used to clean and/or sanitize without causing corrosion. The corrosion nature of the chlorine dioxide solution is lessened due to the addition of phosphate to the composition.

主权项

1. A solid chlorine dioxide forming mixture used to produce a chlorine dioxide liquid mixture, the forming mixture comprising:
(i) about 15 to 30 wt. % solid metal chlorite; (ii) 26 to about 60 wt. % acid source other than an acid phosphate; (iii) about 20 to 50 wt. % sodium dihydrogen phosphate; (iv) about 0.5 to 8 wt. % free halogen source; and (v) optionally magnesium sulfate;wherein:
the mixture is in the form of a solid body; the solid body is fully soluble in water; and the metal chlorite and the acid source react to form 0.1 to 1,000 ppm chlorine dioxide in water and form the chlorine dioxide liquid mixture.
