Description

Portable space sterilizer using chlorine dioxide gas

The present invention relates to a portable space sterilization device using chlorine dioxide gas, and more particularly, it can be easily used anytime and anywhere because it is easy to carry and move. It relates to a portable space sterilizer.

Generally, as a method for sterilizing microorganisms, a high-pressure steam method, a dry heat method, a radiation method, a radio frequency method, a gas method, a filtration method, and the like are known.

Among them, the gas method refers to a method of killing microorganisms using a gas for sterilization, and the gas for sterilization includes Ethylene Oxide (C ₂ H ₄ O), Formaldehyde (HCHO), Hydrogen Peroxide; H ₂ O ₂ , chlorine dioxide gas (Chlorine Dioxide; ClO ₂ ), etc. are being used.

These gases have different temperature, humidity, gas concentration, and sterilization time during sterilization depending on the type of gas, and some have adverse effects on the human body. In some cases, it is not possible to quantitatively measure or infer the death of microorganisms after sterilization.

In particular, chlorine dioxide gas, which is designated as a gas for sterilization, has a boiling point of 11°C and is a yellow-green gas with strong oxidizing power that exists in a gaseous state at room temperature. Since it was impossible to store it in a container like gas, it was almost impossible to apply it as a chlorine dioxide gas sterilizer by gas sterilization until now.

Recently, as gasified chlorine dioxide gas has been commercialized and recognized as a sterilizing gas, sterilization and disinfection using chlorine dioxide gas, which has a sterilization effect in a wide range of viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc., is virus, fruit, vegetable and livestock infectious diseases. Continuous research results are published as a countermeasure against the sterilization process and are directly applied to the industry.

As a prior art related to a sterilization apparatus and method using chlorine dioxide gas, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1131607 discloses "a low-temperature sterilizer using chlorine dioxide gas capable of continuous operation and a sterilization method using the same", which is Chlorine dioxide gas generated by electrolysis of sodium chlorate (NaClO ₂ ) is stored in a separate preliminary chamber using a brackish water separation membrane, and the chlorine dioxide gas stored in the preliminary chamber is actually sterilized. It is a technique that sends to the main chamber.

However, this prior art is _{complicated in configuration because it must be provided with an electrolysis device for electrolyzing sodium chlorite (NaClO 2} ) and a main chamber for discharging the stored chlorine dioxide gas and a preliminary additive for storing chlorine dioxide gas. and 7 valves must be controlled while maintaining a high vacuum in the main chamber, so there is a problem that a complicated process is involved.
