Peracetic Acid Oxidation of Sabinene

Vaporized Peracetic Acid (vpa) Sterilization

M in ne ap ol is , M N 5 54 47 VAPORIZED PERACETIC ACID (VPA) STERILIZATION Peracetic Acid as a Biocide REVOXTM sterilization technology uses a room temperature vapor composed of three active compounds; hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), acetic acid and peracetic acid (PAA). PAA is formed by the reaction of acetic acid and H2O2 with the addition of a catalyst; these compounds exist in equilibrium and th...

Control of Pond Algae Utilizing Peracetic Acid

Peracetic acid (PAA) was evaluated as an algae control agent at the City of Modesto, CA Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW), during the period of June 2–4, 2003. Algae have been a problem at the POTW for many years and have become an increasing problem as the POTW attempts to increase its treatment capacity. High algae levels entering the chlorine contactor cause high chlorine demand, high TS...

Sporicidal effect of peracetic acid vapor.

The sporicidal activity of peracetic acid (PAA) vapor at 20, 40, 60, and 80% relative humidity (RH) and 25 C was determined on Bacillus subtilis var. niger spores on paper and glass surfaces. Appreciable activity occurred within 10 min of exposure to 1 mg of PAA per liter and 40% or higher RH. The sporicidal rate decreased from the optimum at 80% RH to a slight effect at 20% RH. Spores on an im...

Alternative Disinfection Methods Fact Sheet: Peracetic Acid

Disinfection is considered to be the primary mechanism for the inactivation/destruction of pathogenic organisms to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases to downstream users and the environment. It is important that wastewater be adequately treated prior to disinfection in order for any disinfectant to be effective. Table 1 lists some common microorganisms found in domestic wastewater and th...
