Composition for Destroying Thread Algae

Abstract

A composition of alkali carbonate peroxyhydrate in a quantity of 45 to 85% by weight relative to a total amount of the composition and an alkali hydrogen carbonate is provided for combating pathogenic germs and parasites in water of aquaculture, ponds, and aquariums; for destroying thread algae in water; for processing water. The addition of alkali hydrogen carbonate to alkali percarbonate peroxyhydrate stabilizes the alkali percarbonate peroxyhydrates relative to combustible materials. The alkali carbonate peroxyhydrate is preferably Na 2 CO 3 and xH 2 O 2 .
