Disinfection Method Comprising a Disinfectant Formed by Reaction of H2o2 and No2 in Situ with Retarded Release of the Active Substance

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention describes a disinfection method that creates a disinfectant by reacting hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with nitrite ions (NO2-) directly at the location where disinfection is needed. The process uses a special stopping agent that is a solvent with a boiling point below 100°C, helping to control or slow down the release of the active disinfecting substance. The invention also covers a device designed to apply this method effectively.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Hospital or clinical surface disinfection to prevent infection spread
• Food processing facilities for sanitizing equipment and surfaces
• Public transportation and high-traffic public spaces for rapid and controlled disinfection
• Veterinary clinics and animal care environments
• Agricultural production areas such as greenhouses or animal barns

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Provides highly effective disinfection by generating active agents in situ
• Allows for a controlled and sustained release of disinfectant, increasing its effectiveness and safety
• Minimizes handling and storage of unstable or hazardous disinfectant mixtures
• Can be adapted for various environments due to the flexibility of the application method
• Potentially reduces environmental and human health risks compared to traditional disinfectants
