Description

Silver-copper ion generator and sterilizer having the same

Technical field

The utility model relates to the technical field of silver and copper ion disinfectant manufacturing equipment design, in particular to a silver copper ion generator and a sterilizer having the same.

Background technique

Modern research indicates that the chemical structure of silver determines the high catalytic ability of silver, and the high oxidation state of silver has a high reduction potential, which is enough to generate atomic oxygen in its surrounding space. Atomic oxygen has strong oxidizing properties and can be sterilized. Silver ions can strongly attract sulfhydryl groups on proteases in bacteria, and bind them quickly to inactivate proteases, leading to bacterial death. When the bacteria are killed by the silver ions, the silver ions are released from the corpses of the bacteria, and then contact with other colonies, and the above process is repeated, thereby achieving the durability of sterilization. It has been determined that when the water contains Ag+ of 0.01 ppm, the large bacilli in the water can be completely killed, and the new flora can be maintained for up to 90 days. In addition, studies have also found that silver ions can cause virus death by coagulating viral protein molecules and by binding electron donors on their DNA molecules. However, the silver disinfectants currently used are sold in the market after being produced by the manufacturers, and the users can only purchase the finished products on the market, the price is high and it is difficult to ensure hygiene and quality; and the active redox characteristics of silver ions cannot cause long-term It is preserved and the existing disinfectant is expensive and not suitable for ordinary household use.

Copper ions generated by copper in the presence of water pass through the cell membrane and reach the inside of the cell. Because copper ions are heavy metal ions, certain enzymes can be denatured, thereby destroying their metabolism and killing microorganisms. Copper ions have been used in tap water disinfection in Europe and the United States, but the equipment used is not available to large industrial equipment families. The traditional finished copper ion disinfectant is not suitable for ordinary household use because of the high price of the preparation equipment for copper ion disinfectant.
