METHOD AND COMPOSITION FOR THE GENERATION OF CHLORINE DIOXIDE USING IODO-COMPOUNDS, AND METHODS OF USE

摘要

The present invention relates to a biocidal composition, designed for the generation of chlorine dioxide, comprising at least one iodo-compound having at least one iodine atom and a source of chlorite ions. The molar ration of chlorite ions to iodine atoms is 2 or greater. The composition finds use in a variety of applications including methods of cleaning, deodorizing, and disinfecting various surfaces.
