Agent for dosing aqueous systems with acrolein, processes for making same, and method of treating an aqueous system

摘要

Liquid acrolein, whose hazardous properties make handling difficult, is used to dose aqueous systems with acrolein in a biocidally effective concentration. Disclosed are agents which increase the ease and safety of acrolein handling and which are characterized by a content of 30 to 95% by weight acrolein and 5 to 70% by weight inorganic carrier materials. Silicas are the preferred carrier materials. The powdery or highly viscous mixture of substances will preferably exist in molded form and is additionally provided with a cladding that is impermeable to acrolein vapor. In dosing the aqueous systems, the agents are introduced directly in the water whereupon the acrolein is released.
