Since micro-organisms are important to many aspects of human life (for example in waste water treatment plants, in digestion, in food production), wholesale elimination of them does not, at first glance, appear to be beneficial to the environment. However, many micro-organisms also cause disease, infection and food spoilage.
Biocides are therefore necessary to control or kill harmful micro-organisms. One such biocide, glutaraldehyde, is widely used in products for disinfection, sanitisation, preservation and slimicidal application in industry, hospitals and on farms. In addition to having a large spectrum of biocidal activity, glutaraldehyde has a very good environmental profile. Glutaraldehyde does not impact the environment because
: • It is readily biodegradable(1) in fresh water (below 5mg/L).
• It is biodegradable in marine environments(2) (sea water).
• Biodegradation results in the mineralisation of the compound to water and carbon dioxide(3).
• The octanol/water partition coefficient value is very low(4), showing that glutaraldehyde is very water soluble and highly unlikely to bio-accumulate in the fatty tissues of aquatic organisms.
• It has little tendency to adsorb to soils and sediments due to its high water solubility and low soil adsorption coefficient(5).
• It is removed in waste water treatment plants by more than 95% by biodegradation and other degradation processes.
• It does not inhibit reproductive success in fish(6) or crustacea(7).
• It is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with UV light and oxidation by hydroxyl radicals(8).
• There are no available data indicating that glutaraldehyde acts as an endocrine modulating chemical to wildlife species.

PRODUCTION PROCESS
AND
PRODUCTION PROCESS
MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF GLUTARALDEHYDE DISINFECTANTS is not very complicated. For the production, there is need usable and tried a formulation, raw materials and mixing tank. For raw materials to be used, quantities to be used and ingredients usage rankings, you should look into this formulation. Therefore, formulation and productıon methods of glutaraldehyde disinfectant solutions are important. If you have not a good formulation, you cannot make healthy and efficient production of any disinfectant products and derivatives.
