Method and apparatus for measuring and controlling active oxygen concentration in a bleach environment

Abstract: The present invention provides an arrangement of equipment and an overall process for the measurement and control of active bleach concentration in a bleach environment of an industrial laundry or cleaning system. As a preferred embodiment the primary piece of equipment which renders the overall system especially useful in controlling, for example, hypochlorite ion in a bleach environment is a membrane-shielded amperometric probe. The probe is designed and membrane selected to be highly selective to fluctuations in hypochlorite ion concentration.

Targeted and Stimulus-Responsive Delivery of Surfactant to the Oil-Water Interface for Applications in Oil Spill Remediation.

Abstract: The use of chemical dispersants is a well-established approach to oil spill remediation where surfactants in an appropriate solvent are contacted with the oil to reduce the oil–water interfacial te...

Solid acid cleaning block and method of manufacturing

Abstract: A stable, substantially homogeneous, solid block cleaning composition can be made for general purpose cleaning and for cleaning hard surfaces such as floors of varying surface composition. Unique solid block materials contain substantially useful concentrations of liquid acid materials, but are in the form of a stable solid. The acidic solid detergent can be dispensed using a water spray creating a concentrate which can then be diluted in proper ratio to form the use--solution. Such use-solutions may be applied to remove a variety of soils subject to acid cleaning including soils containing water hardness components, inorganic soils, and the like. The acid cleaners can be used alone or in combination with other cleaners in a cleaning protocol for a variety of hospitality, industrial or institutional cleaning locations having a broad spectrum of contaminated soil residue.

Ultra-concentrated solid degreaser composition

Abstract: A substantially nonaqueous solid concentrate composition is provided comprising an amine oxide surfactant, an alkali metal hydroxide, a secondary source of alkalinity, a chelating agent, a non-ionic surfactant, and a hardening agent wherein the concentrate composition is useful in preparing a stable, aqueous solution. The composition may optionally include any one or combination of an anionic surfactant, a corrosion inhibitor, dye, perfume, or preservative. The ultra-concentrated composition of the invention is uniquely suited for solid deliveries.

Antimicrobial compositions and methods for treating packaged food products

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of using an antimicrobial composition on a food product where the antimicrobial composition is applied to a food product, the food product is packaged and sealed, and then activation energy is applied to the sealed food product.
