[Technical field to which the invention belongs] Titanium oxide having photoactivity reacts at the wavelength of weak light (380 nm or less) such as sunlight or fluorescent light, and 3.2 volts is applied to the surface where titanium oxide and water are in contact. A strong oxidation potential is generated, which oxidizes and decomposes almost all things such as bacteria and algae at an oxidation potential higher than the bactericidal capacity of bacteria such as chlorine, hydrogen oxide and ozone used in water treatment, causing a bad odor. Applied chemistry using the characteristics of titanium oxide, which decomposes organic matter.

[0003]

[Prior art]

 When the temperature rises, the temperature of the water rises, depleting the oxygen contained in the water, improving the environment in which algae and bacteria grow and proliferate, and producing algae and algae.To remove these, a large amount of chlorine-based Although chemicals are used, when chlorine is used When bathing or drinking water is used, there is no appropriate method to effectively control the generation of algae when dechlorination must be performed.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The present invention suppresses algae and bacteria that grow in stagnant water (baths, elevated water tanks, cooling water for heat exchangers, pools, ponds, fountains, etc.) without adversely affecting the human body. The task is to sterilize and reduce maintenance work. It is another object of the present invention to deodorize sunlight or indoor fluorescent lamps with light and to sterilize bacteria floating in the air.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As a filtering agent, mix titanium oxide with photoactive titanium oxide or titanium oxide and adsorbent activated carbon, zeolite, ceramic, etc. , Fluorescent lamps, etc., using containers made of materials mixed with titanium, containers coated and coated with titanium oxide on the surface of resin, etc. Irradiate with ultraviolet light, black light, etc. to excite the catalytic function of titanium oxide and solve the problem.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 According to the present invention, a titanium oxide or a filter material containing a mixture of titanium oxide and activated carbon, zeolite, ceramic, etc. having adsorbability is placed in a container such as that shown in FIGS. It excites the catalytic function of titanium oxide with the light of fluorescent lights and decomposes and sterilizes algae and multiplying bacteria that occur in baths, water tanks, cooling water of heat exchangers, pools, ponds, fountains, etc. for 24 hours. For large cooling water tanks, ponds, water tanks, etc., increase the size of the equipment or install multiple units, circulate water using pumps, etc., increase the amount of water that comes in contact with the filter media, and suppress algae, bacteria, etc. generated I do. Titanium oxide is mixed into the resin material, or titanium oxide is applied or coated on the resin material or metal surface, and a film of titanium oxide is attached and irradiated with light to excite the catalytic function of titanium oxide. Decompose and sterilize algae, bacteria, etc. As shown in FIG. 4, a container containing titanium oxide or the like may be hung from a ceiling or the like on a baby bed or the like to deodorize or sterilize bacteria floating in the air. These containers may be provided with a music box or the like that emits sound or decorations.

Example. In addition, a pump may be provided near the container or the place where the container is installed to circulate water to increase the amount of water contact with the water and improve the catalytic efficiency of titanium oxide. FIG. 2 shows an embodiment in which light passes through a filter medium (1) using titanium oxide, or is placed in a net-like container (2) and attached to a bathtub or a toilet with a hook or the like (6). Alternatively, a fluorescent lamp, an ultraviolet lamp, a black light, or the like may be turned on near the container to excite the catalytic function of titanium oxide. FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which light passes through a filter medium (1) using titanium oxide, or a float (7) is attached to a net-like container (2) and floated in water. Alternatively, the material of the floating portion may be coated with titanium oxide, coated, or molded with a resin mixed with titanium oxide. FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which light passes through a filter medium (1) using titanium oxide, or a string (9) is attached to a mesh container (2) and suspended.

[Effect of the invention]

 Oxidation potential of 3.2 volts is generated by the catalytic function of the photoactive titanium oxide to decompose and sterilize algae, bacteria and the like contained in water. In addition, it can decompose bacteria floating in the air and organic substances that cause odors, thereby improving the deodorizing and sterilizing effects.
