Abstract:
The life of acrolein in an aqueous medium is increased by incorporation into the aqueous medium of an effective amount of a buffered acid preferably selected from the class consisting of: (1) H. sub. x A. sub. y, wherein H is hydrogen, A is an inorganic radical, and x and y each are positive integers whereby H and A are valence balanced; (2) RA, wherein R is one of hydrogen, an alkyl or an aryl group, and A is one of CO. sub. 2 H, OPO. sub. 3 H. sub. 2, PO. sub. 3 H. sub. 2, OSO. sub. 3 H, and SO. sub. 3 H; and (3) ##STR1## wherein N is zero or a positive integer from one through three, M is a positive integer of at least one, and A is a member selected from the class consisting of CO. sub. 2 H, OPO. sub. 3 H. sub. 2, PO. sub. 3 H. sub. 2, OSO. sub. 3 H, and SO. sub. 3 H.
