Process for preparing a disinfectant
First Claim
1. A process for preparing a storage stable, clear concentrate of unlimited durability which, upon admixture with hydrogen peroxide, forms a disinfectant, comprising:
- (a) admixing an inorganic acid with water, said water being selected from the group consisting of distilled water and fully desalted water, to yield aqueous inorganic acid having a pH less than or equal to 1.6;
(b) admixing said aqueous acid at a temperature between 50 and 60°
C. with a silver composition, selected from the group consisting of silver salts and silver salt complexes, in an amount which yields 95-105 g Ag per liter of the final concentrate;
(c) cooling the resultant admixture to between 25 and 30°
C., and adding such an amount of the same acid as was used for adjusting the pH of the water whereby the total amount of said acid is at least equimolar with the amount of silver present;
(d) adding to said admixture an organic acid stabilizer, and optional gelatin, at 20 to 25°
C.; and
(e) homogenizing the obtained mixture.

Abstract
A concentrate with an unlimited shelf-life, which can be mixed with hydrogen peroxide at a ratio of 1:99 to 1:199 to become an effective disinfectant, is obtained when a viscous solution of inorganic acid, with a pH less than or equal to 1.6, is mixed with a silver salt compound or a colloidal silver compound at 50° to 60° C. The mixture is further combined at room temperature with other inorganic acid(s) to reach a total of 100 g inorganic acid(s) per liter of water; at room temperature, an organic acid stabilizer is added and the mixture is homogenized. The concentrate, during storage, remains homogeneous and crystal-clear.

5. A process for preparing a storage stable, clear concentrate of unlimited durability which, upon admixture with hydrogen peroxide, forms a disinfectant, comprising:
-
(a) admixing an inorganic acid with an aqueous solution containing colloidal silver solution in 5% aqueous polyhydroxymonocarboxylic acid, to yield a solution having a pH less than or equal to 1.6; (b) heating said aqueous solution to between 50 and 60°
C. and adding thereto a solution of an organic stabilizer in distilled or fully desalted water having about the same temperature in an amount which yields approximately 9.5-10.5 g Ag per liter of the final concentrate;(c) cooling the admixture to 20°
to 25°
C.;(d) adding thereto such an amount of the same inorganic acid as was used for adjusting the pH that the total amount of inorganic acid is at least equimolar with the amount of silver present; (e) optionally adding gelatin; and (f) homogenizing the admixture. - View Dependent Claims (6, 9, 11, 12)
