Related Art

Chlorine dioxide is a non-toxic, harmless, highly effective, and highly oxidizing disinfectant, and has functions such as anticorrosion, deodorization, and freshness preservation, etc. In addition, chlorine dioxide has advantages of being non-pathogenic, non-teratogenic, and non-carcinogenic. Chlorine dioxide has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in the 1980s, and is the top A1 disinfectant in safe disinfection methods. Under the same conditions, disinfection performance of chlorine dioxide is 2.63 times that of chlorine, and has characteristics such as a wide disinfection range, a good effect, a short action time, and a low dosage, etc.


Due to physical characteristics of chlorine dioxide, an aqueous solution of chlorine dioxide is used for disinfection in most cases. However, as a result of disadvantages such as high concentration, a short release period, inconvenient transportation and storage of the chlorine dioxide solution and a need to configure an aqueous solution of chlorine dioxide at a use site, advantages such as a wide diffusion range and strong effectiveness of gaseous chlorine dioxide cannot be fully exerted. Therefore, people often use solid-loaded chlorine dioxide products to resolve the above technical problems. Common solid carriers include silica gel, calcium silicate, diatomaceous earth, talc, molecular sieve, active carbon, super absorbent polyacrylic resin, agar, super absorbent resin, and carboxymethyl cellulose, etc. However, the solid carriers have disadvantages such as a low adsorption capacity, a short service period after loading of chlorine dioxide, storage difficulty and/or a poor effect, etc.

*Note:


Released chlorine dioxide gas is not detected as a result of exceeding aminimum detection limit of a detection instrument






Concentration of chlorine dioxide gas (mg/m3) is tested at a distance of 5 cm from an air outlet. Specifically, contents of chlorine dioxide gas slowly released around the solid material in 1, 3, 6, 10, and 24 hours and 7 days are tested by using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry. The detection results of the concentration of the chlorine dioxide released by the solid materials in embodiments 1-6 and comparative example 1 are shown in Table 2. All units in Table 2 are milligrams of chlorine dioxide gas per cubic meter of air (mg/m3). It may be learned from Table 2 that over time (from 1 hour to 24 hours, or even 7 days), the solid materials prepared in embodiments 1-6 can slowly and stably release chlorine dioxide gas. Even after a long period of 7 days, the solid materials in embodiments 1-6 of the invention can still release chlorine dioxide gas of at least 0.094 mg/m3. The solid material prepared in comparative example 1 releases a large amount of chlorine dioxide gas from the first hour, but after 10 hours, releases much less chlorine dioxide gas, and after 7 days, releases an amount of chlorine dioxide gas that almost cannot be detected. Therefore, compared with the existing materials (comparative example 1), the solid materials in embodiments 1-6 of the invention can slowly and steadily release chlorine dioxide gas, and even after 7 days of use, releases a relatively high content of chlorine dioxide gas that can still be detected.

Taking the solid material prepared in embodiment 1 as a representative, formaldehyde degradation performance of the solid material prepared in the invention and the solid material prepared in comparative example 1 is tested. A specific test method is performed according to the QB/T2761-2006 test standard. 100 g of particle materials prepared in embodiment 1 and 100 g of particle materials prepared in comparative example 1 are placed at a room temperature (20±1° C.) and humidity of 25% for the time periods listed in Table 3 (that is, 1, 10, and 24 hours and 7 days), and then placed in a 1.5 m3 experimental chamber. Each experimental chamber is injected with an equal amount of formaldehyde gas in advance to obtain formaldehyde concentration of 1.0 mg/m3. In addition, a fan is mounted in each experimental chamber to allow air in the experimental chamber to flow. After the particle material is placed in the experimental chamber, timing is started, and concentration of the formaldehyde in the experimental chamber is tested after about 1 hour. A proportion of a difference between initial concentration of the formaldehyde in the experimental chamber (all are 1.0 mg/m3) and concentration of the formaldehyde in each experimental chamber tested after the action of the solid material to the initial concentration of the formaldehyde is used as a formaldehyde removal rate. Specific test results are shown in Table 3. It may be learned from Table 3 that, compared with the product in comparative example 1, the solid material prepared in the embodiment of the invention can remove formaldehyde gas in the air stably for a long time.

Taking the solid material prepared in embodiment 1 of the invention as a representative, a disinfection effect of the solid material of the invention is tested. 10 g of particle materials prepared in embodiment 1 and 10 g of particle materials prepared in comparative example 1 are placed at a room temperature (20±1° C.) and humidity of 25% for the time periods listed in Table 3 (that is, 1, 10, and 24 hours and 7 days), and then placed in a 1 m3 experimental chamber. The same amount of germs is injected into each experimental chamber. After the particle material is placed in the experimental chamber, timing is started, and a number of germs in the experimental chamber is observed after about 24 hours. A proportion of a difference between an initial number of germs in the experimental chamber and a number of germs in each experimental chamber tested after the action of the solid material to the initial number of germs is used as a germ removal rate. It may be learned from the test results in Table 4 that, the solid material product prepared in the embodiment of the invention can release chlorine dioxide gas stably for a long time, and has a significant disinfection effect on common bacteria in the air. In addition, the test results of the product in comparative example 1 show that after a long period of time, the product in comparative example 1 has a much poorer disinfection effect than the product prepared in the embodiment of the invention.
