Pure chlorine dioxide solution, and gel-like composition and foaming composition each comprising the same
A pure chlorine dioxide solution includes a chlorine dioxide gas dissolved therein, a chlorite, and a pH adjuster which is an acid or a salt thereof having a buffering property whose pH is 2.5 to 6.8 as a 5% aqueous solution at 25° C.
1. A gel-like composition, comprising a pure chlorine dioxide solution and a high water-absorbent resin,
wherein said pure chlorine dioxide solution is prepared by the following steps:
[1] mixing a solution (A) which is a solution in which a chlorine dioxide gas is dissolved, and a solution (B) which is a solution comprising a chlorite; and
[2] adding a pH adjuster to the solution mixture resulting from step [1], wherein the pH adjuster is phosphoric acid or a salt thereof having a buffering property whose pH is 2.5 to 6.8 as a 5% aqueous solution at 25° C.,
wherein said pure chlorine dioxide solution is stable for at least 15 days according to a 54° C.-accelerated aging stability test.
2. The gel-like composition according to claim 1 , wherein the high water-absorbent resin is one of a starch-containing water-absorbent resin, a cellulose-containing water-absorbent resin and a synthetic polymer-containing water-absorbent resin.
3. The gel-like composition according to claim 1 , wherein the chlorite is sodium chlorite.
4. The gel-like composition according to claim 1 , wherein the pH adjuster is one of sodium dihydrogenphosphate and a mixture of sodium dihydrogenphosphate with disodium hydrogenphosphate.
5. The gel-like composition according to claim 1 , wherein the high water-absorbent resin is one of a starch-containing water-absorbent resin, a cellulose-containing water-absorbent resin and a synthetic polymer-containing water-absorbent resin, wherein the chlorite is sodium chlorite, and wherein the pH adjuster is one of sodium dihydrogenphosphate and a mixture of sodium dihydrogenphosphate with disodium hydrogenphosphate.
