ANTIVIRAL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR INACTIVATING NON-ENVELOPED VIRUSES USING ALKYL 2-HYDROXYCARBOXYLIC ACIDS
The present invention is directed to antiviral compositions that provide efficacy against non-envelope viruses such as noroviruses. The antiviral compositions comprise an alkyl 2-hydroxycarboxylic acid and an effective amount of a sulfonated surfactant. The composition may be used as a topical on human skin, as a hand sanitizer or as a hard surface cleaning composition.

The compositions and methods disclosed herein may be used to inhibit corrosion of a metal surface in contact with an aqueous system.
Described are treatment compositions for treating a water source, and methods of treating the water source. The composition includes one or more of an inorganic salt, a treatment polymer, and a particle. A flocculant may be added to the water source before or after the inorganic salt, treatment polymer, and particle. The methods and compositions may be used for treating wastewater, for example.
Systems and techniques can be used to control malodorous emissions from pulp mills, such as Kraft pulp mills discharging sulfur and/or nitrogen-based compounds displeasing to persons living or working in areas neighboring the pulp mill. In some examples, one or more sensors are used to measure air characteristics around the pulp mill. Example sensors include wind sensors and gas sensors. The sensors can provide data indicating whether malodorous emissions will likely blow toward a population concentration area or away from a population concentration area and/or the indicating the concentration of a malodorous compound in the measured air. Control actions can be taken based on the measured sensor data, such as controlling delivery of an odor control agent to reduce or eliminate the malodorous emissions.
