Organic biocides are used in combination with inorganics, or as the sole treatment. They are less corrosive, have excellent disinfectant properties and can treat both plank-tonic and sessile microorganisms. Many anti biofoulants are among the organic biocides.
- Aldehydes
- Organic nitrogen compounds
- Organic sulfur compounds
- Organic phosphorus compounds and others
Inorganic biocides are cost-effective disinfectants used in all types of industrial systems mainly against planktonic microorganisms. Sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide are corrosive to metals, and this effect has to be carefully evaluated before use.
- Hypochlorite
- Peroxide
- Metals such as coper, tin
