SOLUTIONS FOR STABILIZING HYDROGEN PEROXIDE CONTAINING SOLUTIONS

摘要

Aqueous stabilizing solutions are provided for stabilizing hydrogen peroxide, comprising the following constituents: citric acid 1 to 7 mass percent/vol., tartaric acid 7 to 12 mass percent/vol. and a chelating and/or buffering agent. In one set of embodiments, the stabilizing solution may include silver ions in the concentration range 5 to 30 parts mass % by volume. Other embodiments of the invention are characterized by the substantial absence of silver. The stabilizing compositions may be used to stabilize hydrogen peroxide-containing composition useful as a disinfectant for water, e.g. as a swimming pool disinfectant.
