Each of said above mentioned microorganisms is sporangium one, and resistances thereof to heat or chemical agent are remarkable in its spore condition so that it can storage under the stabilized condition.
In the deodorant, the above listed bacterias are added to the mixture of water, surface active agent, rot proof agent, chelating agent, and stabilyzing agent, so that the number of the bacterias presented in the mixture is within the range from 1 x 106/ml to 1 x 109/ml.
The surface active agent is adapted to be added to the mixture in order to facilitate the contact of the microorganisms with the surface of the organic matter as a causative agent of malodor. Preferably, the surface active agent of an non-ionic one such as ethoxylate or alkylphenol is employed because the affection to be acted apon the activity and propagation of the bacterias is light. The rot proof agent is adapted to be added to the mixture to prevent the bacterias other than those required from propagation.
CA 0223~162 1998-04-17 For example, 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-1 is employed as the rot proof agent.
The chelating agent and stabilyzing agent are adapted to be added to the mixture to suppress the proliferate of microorganisms contained within the deodorant to stabilize the composition thereof. For example, Tetrasodium-Ethylenediaminetetraacetate is utilized as chelating agent, and dipropylene glycol and sodium hydroxide are utilized as stabilising agent.
Other additives, for examle a colouring agent such as opacifier and pigment, or perfume can be added.
The composition of the deodorant is as follows:
ethoxylate or alkylphenol as surfactant; 3-5 %
1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-1 as rot proof agent;
less than 1 %
Tetrasodium-Ethylenediaminetetraacetate as chelating agent; less than 1 %
dipropylene glycol and sodium hydroxide as stabilyzing agent; less than 1 %
opacifier; 0.05%
water; the rest microorganisms; 1 x 107/ml In the case that the deodorant having a composition as listed above is employed for the purpose CA 0223~162 1998-04-17 of deodorizing the leftover or the septic tank for sewage, the deodorant may be deposited thereto directly.
Whereas, in the case that the deodorant is intended to be utilized for the purpose of deodorizing the spave of the room such as toilet or living room, the deodorant is adapted to be contained within a container 2, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
