Abstract:
The invention relates to biocidal systems comprising zinc ions and an oxidizing or non-oxidizing biocide, their use, and methods for preventing or decreasing starch degradation in starch-containing process waters from pulp, paper or board production processes.

Claim (Index 36):
A method of controlling starch degradation in starch-containing process water from pulp, paper or board production, comprising: treating the process water with zinc ions and a biocide;\n wherein the zinc ion source is selected from: ZnBr 2 , ZnCl 2 , ZnF2, ZnI 2 , ZnO, Zn(OH) 2 , ZnS, ZnSe, ZnTe, Zn 3 N 2 , Zn 3 P 2 , Zn 3 As 2 , Zn 3 Sb 2 , ZnO 2 , ZnH 2 , ZnC 2 , ZnCO 3 , Zn(NO 3 ) 2 , Zn(ClO 3 ) 2 , ZnSO 4 , Zn 3 (PO 4 ) 2 , ZnMoO 4 , ZnCrO 4 , Zn(AsO 2 ) 2 , Zn(AsO 4 ) 2 , Zn(O 2 CCH 3 ) 2 ), zinc metal, and a combination thereof; and wherein the biocide is an oxidizing biocide and selected from: chlorine, alkali and alkaline earth hypochlorite salts, hypochlorous acid, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide, peroxy compounds, halogenated hydantoins, monochloramines, monobromamines, dihaloamines, ammonium salts reacted with an oxidant, urea reacted with an oxidant, or a combination thereof.
