COPPER (II) ALKANOLAMINE COMPLEXES USEFUL AS ALGACIDES AND HERBICIDES

摘要

Concentrated aqueous solutions of a copper (II) alkanolamine complex are prepared by reacting copper (II) hydroxide or a copper (II) hydroxide-containing compound with an alkanolamine at a pH of at least 8.5. A dehydrated form of the complex may be prepared by heating the complex above 100.degree.C. Both forms of the complex are effective in the control of algae and aqueous weeds.
