Imides reduce odors. Imides are especially efficient at reducing the odors of odoriferous amine or ammonia. The imides may be incorporated in pads which are the recipients of odoriferous waste materials, dispersed in holding tanks or lagoons or dispersed over human and animal wastes. Polysuccinimide, copolymers of polysuccinimide, polyglutarimide and mixtures thereof are especially useful for the reduction of odors, especially of ammonia and amine. |
