Algicidal and Bactericidal Properties of Copper-Containing Glassy Phosphate Compositions

Abstract

The paper presents the results of studies of the algicidal and bactericidal properties of copper-containing glassy phosphate composition (MSFC). It has been established that the presence of MSFC in aqueous solutions inhibits the processes of bacterial reproduction, water bloom in them due to the fact that the protective phosphate film formed not only on the surface of heating elements, but also on the surface of the water microflora does not lose its continuity due to the partial hydrolysis of the readily soluble sodium components of the composition, and prevents the access of oxygen to the microflora of water and aqueous solutions and copper cations lead to the suppression of the vital activity of biological pollutants. MSFC can be recommended for the treatment of water for any purpose related to water use.
