Product Technical bulletin

Peracetic acid :

A water like clear & colorless liquid. An aqueous equilibrium solution containing peracetic acid, Hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid and special stabilizers. This product is considered environmentally safe since it decomposes to acetic acid and oxygen. Acetic acid is completely biodegradeable.
 

Peracetic acid is an environmentally safe and versatile anti-microbial agent and a powerful antioxidant. Peracetic Acid can be applied for the deactivation of a large variety of pathogenic microorganisms. It also deactivates viruses and spores. Peracetic Acid activity is hardly influenced by organic compounds that are present in the Water. Peracetic Acid is used mainly in the Food Industry, where it is applied as a cleanser and as a disinfectant. It is applied for bacteria and fungi removal. It was also used for the disinfection of recycled rinsing water for foodstuffs.
 
Peracetic acid is applied for the disinfection of medical supplies and to prevent bio film formation in pulp industries. It can be applied during water purification as a disinfectant and for Plumming Disinfection. Peracetic acid is suitable for cooling tower water disinfection; it effectively prevents bio film formation and controls Legionella bacteria. It’s an alternative for chlorine, sodium hypochlorite and chlorine dioxide. It decomposes into biodegradable components and doesn’t create chlorinated compounds or harmful disinfection by-products.

Peracetic acid has a molecular weight of 76.05. Its dissociation constant (pKa) is 8.2 at 20°C and therefore, the substance is mainly present in th environment as peracetic acid at a neutral pH (pH =7), while peracetate  (the salt of Peracetic acid) would mainly be present if the pH is significantly higher than8.2 (OECD 2008). The pH of Peracetic Acid solution is reported to range fro <1 to 1.8 (OECD 2008:US National Library of Medicine 2012;NOAA 2015).
 
 
Product performance : Best if used within 12 months and stored at 42ºC MAX
 
Test Method : Determination of the concentration by titration with Sodium Thiosulphate.

Application :

Peracetic acid is a strong disinfectant with a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activity. Due to its bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal, and sporicidal effectiveness as demonstrated in various industries, the use of peracetic acid as a disinfectant for wastewater effluents has been drawing more attention in recent years. The desirable attributes of peracetic acid for wastewater disinfection are the ease of implementing treatment (without the need for expensive capital investment), broad spectrum of activity even in the presence of heterogeneous organic matter, absence of persistent toxic or mutagenic residuals or by-products, no quenching requirement (i.e., no dechlorination), small dependence on pH, short contact time, and effectiveness for primary and secondary effluents. Major disadvantages associated with peracetic acid disinfection are the increases of organic content in the effluent due to acetic acid (AA) and thus in the potential microbial regrowth (acetic acid is already present in the mixture and is also formed after peracetic acid decomposition). Another drawback to the use of peracetic acid is its high cost, which is partly due to limited production capacity worldwide. However, if the demand for peracetic acid increases, especially from the wastewater industry, the future mass production capacity might also be increased, thus lowering the cost. In such a case, in addition to having environmental advantages, peracetic acid may also become cost-competitive with chlorine.

 
Handling & Storage
 
Safe handling advice : Never return unused material to storage receptacle. Avoid exposure. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation. Wear suitable protective clothes. Open drum/container carefully. Content may be under pressure
