Abstract

The invention relates to an aqueous composition for inactivating sporulated and/or non-sporulated Coccidia parasites comprising 15 to 115 ppm chlorine dioxide and 0.01 to 1 wt-% of an anionic surfactant having one or more C 6 to C 18 alkyl groups and one or more aryl groups. The invention further relates to a method for preparing the composition and to a method for inactivating sporulated and/or non-sporulated Coccidia by applying the composition.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. Aqueous composition for inactivating sporulated and/or non-sporulated Coccidia parasites comprising:
15 to 50 ppm chlorine dioxide;
an acid solution comprising:
(i) 1 to 5 wt-% of a weak carboxylic acid by weight of the acid solution; and
(ii) 2 to 10 wt-% phosphoric acid by weight of the acid solution; and

0.01 to 1 wt-% of an anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of C6 to C18 mono- and di-alkyl diphenyl oxide disulfonates and mixtures thereof.

2. The aqueous composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises 20 to 50 ppm chlorine dioxide.

3. The aqueous composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises 0.05 to 0.5 wt-% of the anionic surfactant.

4. A method for inactivating sporulated and/or non-sporulated Coccidia comprising applying the composition according to claim 1 to a Coccidia contaminated surface for 1 minute to 1 hour.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the composition is applied to the contaminated surface for 15 minutes to 45 minutes.

6. A method for preparing an aqueous composition, the method comprising combining:
(a) a chlorite part comprising an alkali metal chlorite;
(b) an acid solution comprising:
(i) 1 to 5 wt-% of a weak carboxylic acid by weight of the acid solution; and
(ii) 2 to 10 wt-% phosphoric acid by weight of the acid solution; and

(c) 10 to 25 wt-% of anionic surfactant selected from C6 to C18 mono- and di-alkyl diphenyl oxide disulfonates and combinations thereof; and diluting the mixture of (a), (b) and (c) with water,
wherein the aqueous composition comprises 15 to 50 ppm chlorine dioxide and 0.01 to 1 wt-% of the anionic surfactant, and wherein the aqueous composition is effective against Coccidia parasites.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the chlorite part is an aqueous solution comprising 2 to 15 wt-% of an alkali metal chlorite.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the chlorite part is a solid comprising alkali metal chlorite and a filler.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the filler is sodium carbonate.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the chlorite part is a solid part in form of a tablet, a granule, or a powder.

11. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the weak carboxylic acid is selected from the group consisting of acetic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid, tartaric acid, propionic acid and mixtures thereof.

12. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the alkali metal chlorite is sodium chlorite.

13. An aqueous composition for inactivating sporulated and/or non-sporulated Coccidia parasites obtained by the method according to claim 6 , wherein the composition is formed into a foam prior to use.

14. The method of claim 6 , wherein the composition is formed into a foam prior to use.

15. The method of claim 6 , wherein the composition further comprises a dye.

16. The method of claim 6 , wherein the composition comprises 0.05 to 0.5 wt-% of the anionic surfactant.
