- Steady conversion of Stabilized Chlorine and Bromide to free HOBr in process waters- Oxidation of bromide only occurs in situ (pH 5-9)

Stabilized chlorine + Br- → HOBr

Biocides for Cooling Water

General biocide usage of standard cooling tower

NaOCl solution (~12%) is used as oxidizing biocide for cooling water. In order to complement NaOCl, non-oxidizing biocide may be used every two week.

100% 40% ~10% Relative AOX formation at same halo-gen conc (USP 5,683,654 table II)

100% 20% ~2% Final relative AOX formation by Justeq07

AOX: Absorbable Organic Halides: For environmental protection reasons, the AOX value must be monitored at all times.A cooling cycle operating with Justeq07 shows much lower AOX values than a cycle operated with chlorine or bromine

(B-1) Steps in biofilm development

1) Surface conditioning

- Almost immediately a organic layer deposits on the water/solid interface

- Conditioning layers neutralize excessive surface charge & surface free energy

-The absorbed organic molecules often serve as a nutrient source for bacteria

2) Adhesion of pioneer bacteria

-Some of the planktonic (free-floating) bacteria will approach the wall & become entrained within the boundary layer

-Initial attachment is based on electrostatic attraction & physical force

-Some of the reversibly adsorbed cells become irreversibly ad-sorbed.

-Stabilized chlorine/ bromide ion works in stage 2 ☞ No adhesion or removal of pioneer bacteria by killing planktonic microorganism or hindering bacteria at-tachment

3) Slime formation

- Adsorbed bacteria excrete extracellular substance

- These polymeric substance, or glycocalyx, consists of charged & neutral polysaccharides groups

- These substance facilitate attachment & act as an ion-exchange system for trapping & concentrating trace nutrients

- In a mature biofilm, more of the volume is occupied by the loosely organized glycocalyx matrix (75~95%) than by bacteria cells (5~25%)

4) Secondary colonizers

- As well as trapping nutrient molecules, the glycocalyx net also snares other types of microbial cells through physical restraint and electrostatic interaction

-These secondary colonizers metabolize waste from the primary colonizer as well as produce their own waste which other cell then use in turn

5) Fully functioning biofilm

-The mature, fully functioning biofilm is like a living tissue on the wall sur-face Mature biofim are imaginatively described in the article “Slime City”

-As stabilized chlorine & bromide ion has outstanding penetration properties it overcomes the protective barrier of the aged bio-film and then disinte-grate. HOBr by reaction of stabilized chlorine & bromide ion detach the slime structures in addition to the biocidal effect.

E-mail: redox@pitt.edu

2. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Key word (methylisothiazolinone)

1. MIT(methylisothiazolinone) and its closely related analog, chloromethylisothiazolineone or CMIT, affect the ability of young or developing

neurons to grow processes (axons and dendrites) in tissue culture

2. The toxic actions of MIT on developing neurons occurs at much lower concentrations than those inducing lethal injury (1-3 micromolar). CMIT is even more potent, working at concentrations as low as 0.1 micromo-lar

☞ One micromolar is approximately 0.115 parts per mil-lion.
