Disclosed is a process for the treatment of a plant fluid effluent containing odor compounds including an alkyl mercaptan or an alkyl thiol, an amine compound, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and mixtures thereof by contacting the plant effluent in either a counterflow or cocurrent flow process. In the process, the effluent is contacted with an aqueous solution comprising a peroxyacid compound and one or more essential oils. When contacted with the peroxyacid, odor compounds in the effluent are oxidized and converted from the gaseous phase into a chemically modified highly aqueous soluble phase in the aqueous treatment. In this way, odor removal from the gas is preferred and odor compounds are efficiently transferred into the aqueous treatment solution. The use of such a process produces a significant improvement in odor quality index as measured by a conventional process using an expert panel when compared to conventional treatment methods.

A two part cleaning composition, apparatus and method of use is described. One part of the cleaning composition contains an oxidizing agent. The two part cleaning composition provides for shelf stability during storage by controlling the pH solution at a different level in each of the first part and the second part of the composition. At a point of use of the cleaning composition, the first part and the second part are combined resulting in an automatic adjustment of the pH level through admixture of the first part and the second part to provide a pH level for the combined composition to achieve optimum cleaning of a surface with the composition. One part of the cleaning composition is maintained at a pH of from about 4 to about 5 and a second part of the composition is maintained at a pH of greater than 10. The pH of the combined composition at the point of use is from 7 to 12, preferably from about 8 to about 11. Surfaces suitable for treatment by the cleaning composition include hard surfaces, e.g. bathroom and kitchen surfaces, and soft surfaces, e.g. carpet.
