Circulating water fungicide is a type of fungicide used to treat circulating water systems. Circulating water systems can be applied in industry, agriculture, and urban life, for transporting water, cooling heat sources, heating, and humidification. However, without proper maintenance and management, bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms can easily grow in the circulating water system, forming biofilms and dirt, leading to problems such as blockage, corrosion, and leakage of the system. The function of circulating water fungicides is to maintain the stability and safety of the circulating water system by killing and controlling microbial growth.
The common circulating water fungicides in the current market include the following:
Oxidants: such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone, sodium hypochlorite, etc., can kill microorganisms through oxidation and oxygen release.
Non oxidizing agents, such as sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) and chloroisocyanurate compounds, can kill microorganisms through ion effects and interfacial activity.
Organic acids, such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, etc., can achieve sterilization by reducing pH and inhibiting microbial growth.
Silver ions: Silver ions have certain antibacterial activity and can be used to kill microorganisms by adding silver ion particles to circulating water.
It should be noted that different types of circulating water fungicides also differ in terms of usage, dosage, and effectiveness. In specific applications, it is necessary to select appropriate circulating water fungicides based on the characteristics, pollution level, and sterilization requirements of the circulating water system, and carry out correct dosing and management. In addition, the use of circulating water fungicides also needs to comply with relevant regulations and standards to ensure the safety and health of the water environment.
