  Patent 6,413,531
Biocidal compositions are described where the biocide and the diethanolamide are present in a combined amount effective to control the growth of at least one microorganism.
The combination of the biocide and the diethanolamide is particularly useful as a biocide in the leather industry, the lumber industry, the papermaking industry, the textile industry, the agricultural industry, and the coating industry, as well as in industrial process waters.
Alternatively, the biocide and the diethanolamide may be employed as separate components such that the combined amount for the intended use is effective to control the growth of at least one microorganism.

 Biocide microencapsulation - Patent 5164096
Biocide treatment of the water system of a papermaking process comprising the steps of encapsulating the biocide as the core of the capsule in a water suspension, in which the shell is degradable at high water dilution, and introducing the microcapsules into the water stream to undergo dilution release.
The biocidal odor is thus masked, and by the same token the biocidal toxicity/sensitizing is controlled and the encapsulated biocide is in a state of harmless isolation until released and added to the industrial waters and dilution occurs.
However, the biocide capsules may range in diameter from about 20 microns up to about 500 to 1,000 microns depending upon the biocide, its concentration, the encapsulation agent(s), their concentration, the reaction time, the energy and time of mixing, and other such variables.

 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Using Biocide
Biocides, as the word indicates, are designed to kill living organisms.
Cases where biocides may affect outcomes are in hospitals where infection of immunocompromised patients is of concern, in cleaning up bird droppings infested with Cryptococcus neoformans, or as a delay tactic in areas prone to repeated wetting.
For any biocide, it is important to weigh the risks of human exposure to the biocide against the potential benefit of reducing human exposure to the fungal species targeted.

 Findings and Conclusions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
The Study’s test results demonstrated that the copper ion biocide was only 33 percent effective at 167 parts per billion (ppb) in freshwater and 70 percent effective at 68 ppb in reducing bacteria in freshwater and simulated seawater experiments, respectively.
Consequently, the presence of sediment in the ballast tank would reduce the efficacy of copper as a biocide and higher concentrations of copper would need to be used compared to water in the absence of the sediment.
The biocide corrosion tests that were conducted in the Study were of too short a duration to allow prediction of long-term corrosion rates or coating degradation rates.

 Biocide-polyester concentrates and biocidal compositions prepared therefrom - Patent 7041307
WO 92/07031 teaches the process for preparing a soluble-stable dispersion of a solid biocide comprising a swellable vinyl polymer with a liquid carrier to enable the incorporation of difficultly soluble biocides into polymer resins.
While the process for putting biocides into plastics by adding the neat active biocidal compound into the polymer substrate during processing or manufacturing is known, this process can lead to discoloration of the final biocidally active substrate.
These results clearly show that the plaques which contain the biocide incorporated therein using the concentrate are far superior in color performance (much lower YI values) than the plaques containing the same concentration of biocide added as a neat powder.

 Clearwater Technology Ltd - Catalytic Chlorine Dioxide Biocide Wash of CHW System
It was concluded that the instances of the organism becoming resistant to non-oxidising biocides in the past were due to poor circulation and dead legs in the system.
A plan was developed whereby further biocide screening and applications of high concentrations of non-oxidising biocides (up to 5000ppm) with a tracer chemical would prove biocide circulation.
Also at this point dead biofilm and biocide residue (MBT) were beginning to be deposited in strainers and the decision was taken to flush the system and carry out a biocide wash with Chlorine Dioxide.

 KODAK: Biocide for Photographic Solution Tanks and Wash Water: Pub CIS-3
This biocide is a liquid, water-soluble, and registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), administered with a metering pump (e.g., Gorman Rupp) to the wash tank that first receives the fresh water (see diagram).
Eventually, the biocide will exit in the machine overflow to a sump and be pumped through silver-recovery to the drain.
This may not be the only biocide that works well in photoprocessing wash water, but this is the one most extensively studied for the purpose.

 Modeling Biocide Action Against Biofilms
Simulations were performed to analyze the general behavior of the model and to perform preliminary sensitivity analysis to identify key input parameters.
The results support the plausibility of a mechanism of biofilm resistance in which the biocide is neutralized by reaction with biofilm constituents, leading to a reduction in the bulk biocide concentration and, more significantly, biocide concentration gradients within the biofilm.
For example, the simulations suggested that a good interval between pulses of biocide is the time to minimum thickness.

 Feature - Biocide Active Ingredients (Part 1 - Active Ingredient Profiling)
Biocide chemistry is known as it follows the typical reactions of its chemical class.
If a biocide reacts very rapidly with hydrogen sulfide or ammonia and the product of that reaction leads to another chemical which is biocidal, at least from a microbiological viewpoint, the chemical reactivity may be a benefit.
Unfortunately, if the biocide reacts with hydrogen sulfide and the resultant reaction product becomes the new active ingredient, according to a basic interpretation of EPA regulations, the new active biocide may not be a registered biocide and would constitute use of an unregistered biocide.

 Biocide Summary
A biocide is a chemical substance capable of killing different forms of living organisms used in fields such as medicine, agriculture, forestry, and mosquito control.
Biocides can also be added to other materials (typically liquids) to protect the material from biological infestation and growth.
Chlorine can be added in low concentrations to water as one of the final steps in wastewater treatment as a general biocide to kill micro-organisms, algae, etc. It is often impractical to store and use poisonous chlorine gas for water treatment, so alternative methods of effectively adding chlorine are used.
