Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a disinfectant used for purifying household bath water and the like.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, home bath water has been generally sterilized by adding an appropriate amount of a commercially available chlorine-based germicide.

The conventional chlorine-based disinfectant has an excellent disinfecting effect. However, when the disinfectant is added too much, the chlorine smells or the skin is stimulated by chlorine. There were issues such as the need to control In addition, there is a sterilization method in which soluble silver is introduced as it is, but it is insufficient for maintaining its effect, purifying, or taking measures against odor.

The technical means of the present invention for solving these problems is as follows. That is, it contains a trace amount of silver and one kind of Zn, Al, Cu, etc.
Further, it is a disinfectant for baths and the like made of granular soluble silver glass containing trace metal salts such as silicic acid such as Na, Mg and K and phosphoric acid. Also, Al particles or Al foil,
In other words, it is a disinfectant for baths or the like mixed with particles of salts containing Al ⁺⁺ Al ⁺⁺⁺⁺ ions. Further, it is a disinfectant for baths and the like, which can be washed with water or the like, and is mixed with fibrous, cloth-like or sheet-like activated carbon which is hard to produce fine powder.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION By adding an appropriate amount of a disinfectant to bath water using the means of the present invention, trace amounts of silver (Ag),
Dissolution of metals such as Zn and Cu has the effect of suppressing the sterilization and growth of various fungi in bath water. In addition, Al or Mg
Multivalent ions and silicic acid ^{(SiO 3-),} phosphate (PO
^{4 ----} ) Since it contains trace metal salts, the effect of adsorbing and purifying the turbidity of the bath water by chelation and the like and the water quality variation of the bath water nationwide are reduced, and the sterilizing effect of Ag is stabilized. effective. Furthermore, since activated carbon in the form of fibrous, cloth-like, or sheet-like materials that can be washed with water and are hard to produce fine powders are mixed, activated carbon adsorbs acetic acid and ammonia components of sweat components in bath water, and ammonia, etc. In addition to removing the odor, it also adsorbs a surfactant, which has the effect of disinfecting Ag, Zn, Cu, etc. and inhibiting the growth of bacteria, and assists in cleaning the SiO ³ and PO ⁴ trace metal salts in bath water. When the activated carbon is washed with clean tap water or the like, the activated carbon releases the adsorbed surfactant and the like, and can be reused any number of times. That is, if a surfactant is present, it reacts with Ag ⁺ , Zn ^{++ and the} like to reduce the effect, but this is to prevent this. Another feature of the present invention is that an appropriate amount of Cu, Al, Na, K, etc. is blended in water in order to keep Ag ⁺ at a minimum required sterilizing concentration of about 50 ppb.
This is because the cations of these metals balance the elution amount of Ag.

FIG. 1 shows a container in which the fungicide of the present invention is put and put into bath water, and silver glass particles of the fungicide of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, silver glass particles 2 of a germicide of the present invention are placed in a spherical stainless steel mesh container 1 that can be opened and closed.
And an appropriate amount of activated carbon fiber 3. The stainless steel mesh container 1 has a stainless steel chain 4 connected thereto, and a plastic suction plate 5 is attached to the tip of the stainless steel chain 4, and the suction plate 5 is sucked to the side surface of a bathtub, so that it is immersed in bath water. Therefore, the silver glass particles 2 and the activated carbon fibers 3 of the germicide in the container 1 can be washed and regenerated or replaced. The components of the silver glass particles 2 include silver (Ag) in a weight ratio of about 1% to 10%, and at least one metal such as Zn, Al, and Cu (in the embodiment, Al10% and Zn1%). And Na, M
It is a granular soluble silver glass in which trace metal salts such as g, K-based metal silicic acid (SiO ³ ) and phosphoric acid (PO ⁴ ) are dispersed and contained. The grains may be round or square with a size of about 1 to 15 mm. 200 liters per bath, 36 per year
As 5 days, dissolution ability (dissolution rate and dissolution Ag concentration) is set. From the particle size distribution and dissolution rate of the dissolvable silver glass, in the examples, 3 mm square 10 g, 5 mm square 10 g, 10 mm square 1
0 g, a total of 30 g, was set to be eluted in about one year, but this is not specified. In the embodiment of the present invention, a sterilizing component is dispersed in glass. However, the above component may be dispersed in, for example, a porous ceramic other than glass. Further, as another embodiment, the germicide of the above embodiment is added to Al particles or Al foil, or Al ^++.
Salt particles containing Al ⁺⁺⁺⁺ ions are mixed to form a disinfectant for baths and the like. Further, as another embodiment,
A fibrous, cloth-like, or sheet-like activated carbon which can be washed with water or the like and is hard to produce a fine powder is mixed with any of the above-mentioned disinfectants in either of the above embodiments to obtain a disinfectant for baths or the like.

The present invention comprises Ag in the fungicide particles,
In addition, since metals such as Zn, Al, and Cu are dispersed and contained, the dissolved components of these metals have an effect of suppressing sterilization and growth of various bacteria in bath water. Also, N
Since it contains SiO ³ and PO ⁴ trace metal salts such as a, Mg, and K, it has an effect of adsorbing turbidity of bath water and purifying it. Furthermore, since activated carbon in the form of fibrous, cloth-like, or sheet-like materials that can be washed with water and are hard to produce fine powders are mixed, activated carbon adsorbs ammonia and sweat components in bath water and removes odors such as ammonia. Ag, Zn, and A are removed by adsorbing a surfactant.
Improve the bactericidal and bacterial growth inhibitory effects of l, Cu, etc.
It has the effect of promoting the bath water cleaning action of the SiO ³ and PO ⁴ trace metal salts. Also, unlike germicides such as chlorine,
No odor or skin irritation. .
