Abstract
Reference is made to the technique for ascertaining germicidal powers of strong alkalies. Addition of salts of Na to NaOH distinctly increased the disinfecting properties of NaOH. The H+ ion concentration is not the sole factor affecting germicidal powers of alkalies. Concentration of undissociated NaOH is suggested as particularly significant.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
