| 20090214610 | BENZOIC ACID CONTAINING COMPOSITION FOR MAINTAINING HYDANTOINYLATED POLYMERS IN A BIOCIDALLY ACTIVE STATE - A tablet includes benzoic acid and trichloroisocyanuric acid. The tablet provides free available chlorine in water to maintain an N-halamine-containing polymer biocidal, without rendering the water undrinkable from high chlorine content. The tablet may be used in a water purification device having a cartridge containing an N-halamine polymer to provide safe drinking water. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090239907 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING FISH DISEASES - Therapeutic and prophylactic treatments of aquatic species and aquatic diseases through the controlled introduction of a heterocyclic N-halamine into an aquatic habitat. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20110000854 | USE OF A DUAL POLYMER SYSTEM FOR ENHANCED WATER RECOVERY AND IMPROVED SEPARATION OF SUSPENDED SOLIDS AND OTHER SUBSTANCES FROM AN AQUEOUS MEDIA - A method uses anionic and cationic polymers added in, any order or simultaneously, to aqueous media for the removal of substances. The sequential addition of the two biopolymers, anionic xanthan, followed by cationic chitosan, causes the rapid formation of very large and cohesive fibrillar aggregates that may exhibit high solids to liquid ratios and that quickly settle out from the aqueous media. The aqueous media can be easily separated from the large fibrillar aggregates by settling under gravity or by filtration through a porous containment device, such as a synthetic or non-synthetic woven or non-woven fabric including a geotextile fabric or a solid containment device containing a solid mesh screen. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110006013 | METHOD FOR THE REMOVAL OF SUBMICRON PARTICULATES FROM CHLORINATED WATER BY SEQUENTIALLY ADDING A CATIONIC POLYMER FOLLOWED BY ADDING AN ANIONIC POLYMER - A method for removing submicron colloidal particulates, such as hydrocarbons, from water. The method includes first adding a soluble, cationic polymer, such as chitosan, a salt, or solution of chitosan to water containing the submicron particulates and a halogenating agent, followed by adding a soluble, anionic polymer or anionic salt to the water. The resulting flocs are filtered to remove the submicron particulates. | 01-13-2011 |
