25. A method of making a stabilized bromine solution comprising the steps of:
-
a. selecting a bromine source;
b. adding a stabilizer and an oxidizer to the bromine source to form a mixture, wherein the stabilizer and the oxidizer are alternately added to the mixture in an amount sufficient to maintain the pH of the mixture between about 0 and 6.9; and
c. adding an alkaline source to the mixture to adjust the pH of the mixture to at least 13. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
