摘要:
It is intended to estimate the antimicrobial effect of a sterilization treatment whereby microorganisms are irradiated with particles. Microorganisms are introduced into the space in a container (8) and then irradiated with particles (7) for sterilization. After the completion of the irradiation with the particles (7), the microorganisms are collected into a collection container (6) and measured to thereby estimate the effect. The microorganisms to be sterilized may be one or more members selected form the group consisting of bacteria, fungi, viruses and allergens. As the particles, use can be made of cations, anions, a gas containing a mixture of cations with anions, charged particles such as alpha- and beta-rays, various plasmatic gas ions, ozone and radical particles, drug particles and so on.
摘要:
An air conditioning apparatus incorporates an ion generating device that generates positive and negative ions by applying an alternating-current voltage between electrodes. The generated positive and negative ions coexist in the air and, when they attach to the surfaces of airborne bacteria, they react chemically with each other and generate radical hydroxyl and hydrogen peroxide, which extract hydrogen atoms from the cells of the bacteria and thereby kill them. This sterilizing effect is combined with the temperature-conditioning, dehumidifying, humidifying, air-purifying, and other functions of the air conditioning apparatus to bring about a comfortable and healthful indoor environment.
摘要:
When the electrically driven fan (14) of a vacuum cleaner is driven, air containing dust is drawn into the cleaner main body (1) through a hose (7) connected to a hose socket (8) and is exhausted into the outside of the cleaner main body (1) through an exhaust port (1b) via first and second suction passageways (10, 13). Disposed outside the first suction passageway (10) is an ion generator (23), it being arranged that plus and minus ions generated in the ion generator (23) are fed to the air stream flowing in the first suction passageway (10). Since the plus and minus ions kill floating germs in the air stream, the exhaust can be purified.
摘要:
A method for sterilization, characterized in that it comprises generating O2-(H2O)n as a negative ion, wherein n is an arbitrary natural number, and H+(H2O)m as a positive ion, wherein m is an arbitrary natural number, and feeding the ions into air, to thereby kill bacteria floating in the air through oxidation reactions by hydrogen peroxide H2O2 or a radical OH which is an active species formed by chemical reactions caused by the above ions; and an ion generating element which generates the above negative and positive ions. A satisfactory sterilization effect can be achieved by generating the above negative and positive ions in respective amounts of 10,000 pieces/cc or more at positions 10 cm apart from the places for generation of the ions.
