Method and system for the enhancement of the biocidal efficacy of monoalkyldithiocarbamate salts

The present invention provides a method of treating an aqueous system for biocide control, by adding an acidified solution that includes monoalkyldithiocarbamate salt and alkyl isothiocyanate to an aqueous system. The acidified solution accelerates the decomposition of the monoalkyldithiocarbamate s...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention provides a method of treating an aqueous system for biocide control, by adding an acidified solution that includes monoalkyldithiocarbamate salt and alkyl isothiocyanate to an aqueous system. The acidified solution accelerates the decomposition of the monoalkyldithiocarbamate salt to the corresponding isothiocyanate compared to an alkaline pH. A biocide feed system is also provided that is configured to generate a reproducible level of alkyl isothiocyanate. The method and system provide effective levels of alkyl isothiocyanate for rapid biocidal activity, along with levels of monoalkyldithiocarbamate salt which can decompose to form additional alkyl isothiocyanate and provide longer-term biocidal activity.
