Abstract

The equilibria relative to a cold sterilizer and their interactions were studied to verify how many active compounds were present in solution. Microbiological activity derived from chlorine, hydrogen peroxide and peroxymonosulfate which could react also with chloride ions present in biological fluids, developing active chlorine.
