Methods and processes for the manufacture of polynucleate metal compounds and disinfectants

摘要

The instant invention presents methods and processes for the preparation of polynucleate metal hydroxyl-halide complexes and of disinfectants. Methods and processes are presented for complexes having the general formula M_x(OH)_yH_z, where H is a halogen and M is at least one metal in either the +2 or +3 valence state and wherein M is added to the complex in the form of the metal halide acid solution, the base metal, the metal oxide or the metal hydroxide. The halogen raw material in a salt form is converted to an acid via H₂SO₄ and/or electrolysis. Production of H₂SO₄ and/or H₂SO₃ from elemental sulfur is presented, wherein the energy of formation of H₂SO₄ and/or H₂SO₃ may be at least a portion of the energy to produce at least one of: steam, electricity, halogen gas, oxygen (O₂), hydrogen (H₂), hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), NaOH, hypohalites, halites, halates, halide acid and halogen oxides.
