Industrial microbicide and a method for killing microbes for industrial use

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to an industrial microbicide and a method of killing microbes for industrial use, and more particularly to an industrial microbicide and a method of killing microbes for industrial use to antisepsis or microbicidal of papermaking water in a paper/pulp industry, cooling water and washing water in various industries, heavy oil sludges, cutting fluids, textile oils, paints, paper coating liquids, latices and sizings.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Slimes generated due to the growth of bacteria and/or fungi in cooling water and process water of the paper/pulp industry or various industries deteriorate a quality of products and efficiency of production. Further, in various industrial products, such as heavy oil sludges, cutting fluids, textile oils, paints, various latices and sizings, putrefaction and contamination occur due to the growth of bacteria and/or fungi which reduces their value.
For the prevention of these problems produced by such microorganism, many microbicides have been used. Previously, organomercury compounds and chlorinated phenols were used for this purpose. However, the use of these compounds is to be regulated, because they have a strong toxicity to the human body, fish and shellfish and may cause environmental pollution.
Lately, organonitrogen-sulfur compounds, organohalide compounds and organosulfur compounds which have relatively low toxicity, are practically used [see BOKIN-BOKABI-JITEN (Dictionary of Antibacterial and Antifungal Agent) published by Antibacterial and Antifungal Society, 1986; Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication Nos. (HEI) 3-170404/1991, 3-83902/1991 and 3-167101/1991].
As examples of these types of microbicides, .alpha.-chloro-O-acylbenzaldoximes derived from .alpha.-chlorobenzaldoxime and .alpha.-chloro-chlorobenzaldoximes are known (see Japanese Patent Publication Nos. (SHO) 50-158844/1975, 54-36647/1979 and 51-33171/1976).
However, it is not known that .alpha.-chlorobenzaldoxime itself shows a potent microbicidal property in industrial media.
The conventional organic microbicides and the above microbicides exhibit effective microbicidal effect when used in non-reductive industrial media. However, when the conventional organic microbicides are used in the presence of a reducing agent such as sulfite ion, the microbicidal activity is significantly reduced, whereby the problems mentioned above can not be solved.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides an industrial microbicide comprising .alpha.-chlorobenzaldoxime as an active ingredient.
The present invention also provides a method of killing microbes for in an industrial medium use by adding .alpha.-chlorobenzaldoxime and known industrial microbicidal ingredients simultaneously or separately.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the microbicidal effect according to the test example 2.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides an industrial microbicide comprising .alpha.-chlorobenzaldoxime as an active ingredient.
The present invention is based on the fact that .alpha.-chlorobenzaldoxime itself, which is an intermediate of conventional benzaldoxime derivative microbicides, exhibits a remarkable and significant microbicidal effect under reductive conditions and can be used as a microbicide more effectively than the conventional benzaldoximes.
.alpha.-Chlorobenzaldoxime has a formula (I) as follows: ##STR1##
The microbicide of the present invention is preferably formulated in the form of a liquid preparation. As a diluent or carrier for the formulation, general organic solvents are useful. In particular, hydrophilic organic solvents are preferable when the microbicide is used for various water systems such as papermaking process water, paper coating liquid and sizing in paper/pulp industry. Examples of the hydrophilic organic solvents include diethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, propylene carbonate and dimethyl glutarate. The above mentioned ingredient can be used in neat or in the combination with a conventional suitable solid carrier or diluent.
The microbicide of the present invention exhibits a significant microbicidal effect when used in a medium of various industrial systems, and is especially useful as a microbicide for the above mentioned papermaking water, paper coating liquid, sizing and so on. Particularly, an excellent microbicidal effect can be exhibited in an industrial medium containing a reducing agent equal to or greater than 5 mg/1 in terms of sulfite ions, for example, papermaking process water containing deinked pulp (DIP).
The suitable amount of the active ingredient to be added to an industrial medium depends on the conditions of the medium. Generally, the compound having the formula (I) is preferably used in the amount of about 0.5 to 50 mg/1.

Also, two or more known industrial microbicidal ingredients can be used in combination.
When .alpha.-chlorobenzaldoxime and known industrial microbicidal ingredients are combined, it is preferable to formulate in the form of a single-pack liquid preparation.
In order to prepare the single-pack liquid preparation, organic solvents and dispersing agents are generally used. When the formulation is to be used in an industrial water system, such as in papermaking process water and industrial cooling water, the preparation preferably may be prepared by use of water or hydrophilic organic solvents and/or dispersing agents to ensure the solubility and dispersibility of the active ingredients in water. For industrial microbicidal dal products contained .alpha.-chlorobenzaldoxime having good storage stability for long time, liquid preparation preferably is formulated with hydrophilic organic solvents and/or nonionic surfactants. Examples of such hydrophilic organic solvents are amides such as dimethylformamide; glycols, such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol and dipropylene glycol; glycolethers, such as methyl cellosolve, phenyl cellosolve, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monoethyl ether and tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether; alcohols having 1 to 8 carbon atoms; esters, such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, 3-methoxydibutyl acetate, 2-ethoxymethyl acetate, 2-ethoxyethyl acetate and propylenecarbonate.
The suitable dispersing agent includes cationic, anionic, nonionic and amphoteric surfactants. Preferable surfactant is nonionic surfactant because of its stability in formulations.
The nonionic surfactants include higher alcohol ethylene oxide adducts (hereinafter ethylene oxide is referred to E.O.), alkylphenol-E.O. adducts, fatty acid-E.O. adducts, fatty acid polyhydric alcohol ester-E.O. adducts, higher alkyl amine-E.O. adducts, fatty acid amide-E.O. adducts, fat and oil-E.O. adducts, propylene oxide (hereinafter referred to P.O.)-E.O. copolymers, alkylamine-P.O.-E.O. copolymer adducts, fatty acid glycerol esters, fatty acid pentaerythritol esters, fatty acid sorbitol esters, fatty acid sorbitan esters, fatty acid sucrose esters, polyhydric alcohol alkyl ethers and alkylolamides.
The preparation of the present invention preferably comprises 1 to 50 parts by weight of the total preparation of the active ingredients and at least 0.01 part by weight of the dispersing agent per part of the active ingredients, the balance being a hydrophilic organic solvent, from the view of stability for a long period of time.
For an oil medium such as heavy oil sludge, cutting oil or oily paint, a single-pack liquid preparation is formulated with a hydrocarbon solvent such as kerosene, heavy oil and spindle oil, and optionally containing the above-mentioned surfactant.
A suitable amount of the microbicide of the present invention to be added depends on the industrial medium to be added. In particular, to papermaking process water or industrial cooling water, the addition of about 0.05 to 20 mg/l as the total active ingredients concentration in the water will be sufficient for inhibiting the growth of microbes (bacteriostatic concentration) and the addition of 0.5 to 50 mg/l will achieve a microbicidal effect.
In case of simultaneously using .alpha.-chlorobenzaldoxime and known industrial microbicide ingredients, the above mentioned single-pack preparation is convenient for the method according to the present invention. However, if separate storage or separate addition is preferable upon circumstances, for example in case of keeping a stability for a long time, the separate preparations containing each of the active ingredients may be used.
Thus, the present invention provides a method of killing microbes for industrial use by adding .alpha.-chlorbenzaldoxime and optionally adding known industrial microbicidal ingredients to an industrial medium.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present invention is described in detail with reference to examples and test examples.
Test Example 1: Microbicidal effect in the presence of reducing agents
By the use of Pseudomonous aeruginosa, which is a typical strain of gram negative bacteria identified in process water of paper/pulp industry, cooling water of various industries, paints, paper coating liquids, latices and sizings, microbicidal activity was examined in the presence of a reducing agent.
As a reducing agent, sodium sulfite was used. A bouillon broth was inoculated with the bacteria and preincubated. The obtained culture was added to sterilized water having SO.sub.3.sup.2- at each concentration of 5, 10, 20, 50 mg/l so that the viable cell number becomes 106.sup.6 or more/ml. The active ingredients listed in table 1 were added to the resultant culture and shaken for 1 hour at 37.degree. C. The number of surviving bacteria was measured to determine the minimum concentration (mg/l) of the active ingredients required to kill bacteria in the number of 99.9% or more in the initial viable number.
The results are shown in table 1.
As is obviously seen from table 1, the compound of the formula (I) exhibited more microbicidal effect in the presence of SO.sub.3.sup.2- (5 to 50 mg/l) than the similar compounds and conventional compounds.

The time (t) to be 0.1 in absorption was measured. The time T showing the inhibition of the growth of microbes is caluculated by the formula as follows:
T=t.sub.x -t.sub.0
wherein t.sub.0 is a time (t) when no ingredient is added and t.sub.x is a time (t) when x mg of ingredients are added.
The results are shown in table 7.
