Abstract
Abstract A method for controlling the growth of algae in an aqueous medium by adding to the medium an effective amount of certain silyl quaternary amines. For example, a silyl quaternary amine of the formula IS ADDED TO THE LIQUID MEDIUM IN AN AMOUNT RANGING FROM 1.0 TO 10,000 MICROGRAMS PER ML. OF THE AQUEOUS MEDIUM AND AFTER A PERIOD OF FROM 2.0 TO 24 HOURS, THE ALGAE ARE FLOCCULATED WITHOUT RENDERING THE AQUEOUS MEDIUM TOXIC TO HUMANS, ANIMALS AND FISH.
