At least a part of the platinum group elements may be bonded to silicon atoms of the porous silica directly or via other elements, or may be present in a form bound to other elements or compounds.
- “porous silica” may be referred to as “mesoporous silica", but these terms are used interchangeably.
- Platinum group elements are elements located in groups 8 to 10 of the fifth and sixth periods of the periodic table. That is, platinum group elements include platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, and osmium.
- the platinum group element supported by the platinum group element-supported porous silica may be one type or two or more types. Among these, it is preferable that the platinum group element supported by the porous silica is platinum element.
- the platinum group element-supporting porous silica satisfies the following formula (1).
- A/(A+B) ⁇ 100 ⁇ 5% Formula (1) A represents the number of platinum group elements supported on the porous silica in the hydroxide state, and B represents the number of platinum group elements supported on the porous silica in the metallic state.
- Platinum group element-supported porous silica that satisfies formula (1) is likely to exhibit excellent antibacterial effects in the presence of alcohol.

From the viewpoint of ensuring sufficient platinum in the metallic state, it is preferably 50% or less, more preferably 40% or less, and most preferably 30% or less.

Furthermore, when a platinum group metal and a platinum group element-containing hydroxide are supported on the platinum group element-supported porous silica, the type of platinum group element supported in the metal state and the type of platinum group element supported in the hydroxide state may be the same or different. However, as described above, it is preferable that the platinum group element is elemental platinum, and in this case, it is particularly preferable that the platinum group elements A and B in formula (1) are elemental platinum and satisfy the above formula (1).

- the values of the pore volume and the specific surface area can be measured by the BET method using nitrogen gas adsorption and desorption.
- the platinum group element-supported porous silica preferably has a modal diameter (Dmax) of less than 20 nm on a pore distribution curve calculated from an isothermal desorption curve measured by a nitrogen gas adsorption/desorption method using the BJH method described in E. P. Barrett, L. G. Joyner, P. H. Haklenda, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., vol. 73, 373 (1951), i.e., a plot of differential nitrogen gas adsorption ( ⁇ V/ ⁇ (logd); V is the nitrogen gas adsorption volume) against pore diameter d (nm).
- Dmax modal diameter
- the lower limit of the modal diameter (Dmax) is preferably 2.0 nm or more, more preferably 3.0 nm or more, and most preferably 3.5 nm or more.
- the total volume of pores in the platinum group element-supported porous silica within ⁇ 20% of the above-mentioned most frequent diameter (Dmax) is preferably 40% or more, and more preferably 50% or more, of the total volume of all pores.
- the total volume of pores within ⁇ 20% of the above-mentioned most frequent diameter (Dmax) is preferably 90% or less of the total pore volume. This means that the diameters of the pores in the platinum group element-supported porous silica are uniform, with the pores being around the most frequent diameter (Dmax).
- the most frequent pore diameter (Dmax) of the platinum group element-supported porous silica is 2.0 nm or more, and the volume of pores within ⁇ 20% of Dmax is 90% or less of the total pore volume, which is thought to be advantageous for the diffusion of reactants and products.

- Dmax the most frequent diameter
- the platinum group element-supported porous silica is amorphous in terms of its three-dimensional structure, i.e., that no crystalline structure is observed, and it is particularly preferable that it has a three-dimensional pore structure. This means that when the platinum group element-supported porous silica is analyzed by X-ray diffraction, substantially no crystalline peaks are observed. In addition, in this specification, amorphous porous silica is extremely superior in productivity compared to crystalline porous silica.
- the method for producing the platinum group element-supported porous silica in the present invention is not particularly limited, but it is preferably obtained by reducing a mixture of a platinum group element raw material, such as a platinum-containing compound or an organic complex containing a platinum group element, and porous silica.
- a platinum group element-supported porous silica can be obtained by preparing an aqueous solution containing a platinum group element raw material, impregnating the porous silica, drying, and then performing a reduction treatment.
- Examples of compounds containing platinum group elements include hydrochlorides, nitrates, sulfates, etc. of platinum group elements.
- the platinum group element-supported porous silica in the present invention usually supports a specific amount of platinum group element-containing hydroxide, but the amount of hydroxide can be adjusted by the amount of silanol groups inside the porous silica that supports the platinum group element. That is, if the amount of platinum group element-containing hydroxide supported in the resulting platinum group-supported porous silica is to be increased, porous silica with a large amount of internal silanol groups can be used. On the other hand, if the amount of platinum group element-containing hydroxide supported in the resulting platinum group-supported porous silica is to be decreased, porous silica with a small amount of internal silanol groups can be used.
- the amount of silanol groups inside the porous silica can be adjusted by the synthesis conditions when producing the porous silica.
- an organic raw material is used as a template, and after the condensation polymerization reaction, the organic raw material must be removed by firing at a high temperature of 400 to 800°C. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain a platinum group element-supported porous silica that satisfies formula (1), such as the platinum group element-supported porous silica according to this embodiment.
- the BET specific surface area, pore volume, and particle size of the porous silica before the platinum group element is loaded there are no particular limitations on the BET specific surface area, pore volume, and particle size of the porous silica before the platinum group element is loaded, and these may be appropriately selected so as to obtain the desired platinum group element-loaded porous silica. Therefore, the preferred ranges for these are the same as those given above for the platinum group element-loaded porous silica.
- silica hydrogel obtained by hydrolyzing an alkali silicate or silica hydrogel obtained by hydrolyzing a silicon alkoxide can be produced by applying a method of hydrothermal treatment without aging, and preferably, a method of hydrolyzing a silicon alkoxide can be used.
- Silicon alkoxides include tri- or tetraalkoxysilanes having a lower alkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as trimethoxysilane, tetramethoxysilane, triethoxysilane, tetraethoxysilane, tetrapropoxysilane, and tetrabutoxysilane, or oligomers thereof, with tetramethoxysilane, tetraethoxysilane, and oligomers thereof being preferred.
- the above silicon alkoxides can be easily purified by distillation, making them suitable as raw materials for high-purity silica gel.
- the total content of metal impurities in the silicon alkoxide is preferably 100 ppm or less, and more preferably 10 ppm or less.
- the content of metal impurities can be measured using the same method as that for measuring impurities in porous silica.
- the hydrolysis of silicon alkoxide is usually carried out using 2 to 20 moles, preferably 3 to 10 moles, and particularly preferably 4 to 8 moles of water per mole of silicon alkoxide.
- Hydrolysis of silicon alkoxide produces silica hydrogel and alcohol.
- This hydrolysis reaction is usually carried out at room temperature to about 100°C, but it can also be carried out at higher temperatures by maintaining the liquid phase under pressure.
- the reaction time depends on the composition of the reaction liquid (type of silicon alkoxide and molar ratio with water) and the reaction temperature, and the time until gelation varies, so it is not generally specified.
- the reaction time is usually the time when the breaking stress of the hydrogel does not exceed 6 MPa.
- hydrolysis can be promoted by adding acids, alkalis, salts, etc. as catalysts to the reaction system. However, the use of such additives causes the generated hydrogel to mature, as described below, so it is preferable not to use them in the production of porous silica.
- silicon alkoxide is hydrolyzed to produce silicate, which is then condensed, increasing the viscosity of the reaction solution and finally gelling to form silica hydrogel.
- silicate is then condensed, increasing the viscosity of the reaction solution and finally gelling to form silica hydrogel.
- the above-mentioned hydrothermal treatment of the silica hydrogel produced by hydrolysis immediately without substantial maturation means that the silica hydrogel is subjected to the next hydrothermal treatment while maintaining the soft state it has immediately after production. It is not preferable to add acids, alkalis, salts, etc. to the hydrolysis reaction system of silicon alkoxide, or to make the temperature of the hydrolysis reaction too strict, as these will accelerate the maturation of the hydrogel. In addition, it is preferable not to use more heat or time than necessary in the post-treatments following hydrolysis, such as washing with water, drying, and leaving.
- the conditions for hydrothermal treatment may be that the water is either liquid or gaseous, and may be diluted with a solvent or other gas, but liquid water is preferably used.
- liquid water is preferably used to the silica hydrogel, usually 0.1 to 10 times by weight, preferably 0.5 to 5 times by weight, and particularly preferably 1 to 3 times by weight, of water is added to form a slurry, and the treatment is usually carried out at a temperature of 40 to 250°C, preferably 50 to 200°C, for usually 0.1 to 100 hours, preferably 1 to 10 hours.
- the water used for hydrothermal treatment may contain lower alcohols, methanol, ethanol, propanol, etc.
- This hydrothermal treatment method is also applicable to materials in which porous silica is formed in the form of a film or layer on a substrate such as particles, substrate, or tube for the purpose of creating a membrane reactor, etc.
- the pore diameter and pore volume of the resulting porous silica tend to increase as the temperature increases.
- the specific surface area of the resulting porous silica tends to reach a maximum once and then gradually decrease with the treatment time.
- the temperature and time of the hydrothermal treatment makes it easier to obtain the porous silica of the present invention. Conversely, for example, if the temperature of the hydrothermal treatment is too high, the pore diameter and pore volume of the porous silica will become too large, and the pore distribution will also become broader. Conversely, if the temperature of the hydrothermal treatment is too low, the resulting porous silica will tend to have a low degree of cross-linking and poor thermal stability.
- the hydrothermal treatment When the hydrothermal treatment is carried out in ammonia water, the same effect can be obtained at a lower temperature than when it is carried out in pure water. Furthermore, when the hydrothermal treatment is carried out in ammonia water, the porous silica finally obtained generally becomes hydrophobic compared to when it is treated in pure water, but the hydrophobicity becomes particularly high when the hydrothermal treatment is carried out at a relatively high temperature, usually 30 to 250°C, preferably 40 to 200°C.
- the ammonia concentration of the ammonia water here is preferably 0.001 to 10 vol%, and particularly preferably 0.005 to 5 vol%.
- the hydrothermally treated silica hydrogel is usually dried at 40 to 200°C, preferably 60 to 120°C. There are no particular limitations on the drying method, and it can be either batch or continuous, and can be dried at normal pressure or reduced pressure. If carbon derived from the silicon alkoxide raw material is present as needed, it can be removed by baking, usually at 400 to 600°C. To control the surface condition, it may also be baked at a maximum temperature of 900°C. Furthermore, it may be crushed and classified as needed.
- Porous silica having a crystalline structure tends to have poor thermal stability in water, and when silicon alkoxide is hydrolyzed in the presence of a template such as a surfactant used to form pores in the gel, the gel easily becomes one that contains a crystalline structure.
- a template such as a surfactant used to form pores in the gel
- alcohol refers to an organic compound having a hydroxyl group, and may be a monoalcohol, a diol, or a polyhydric alcohol.
- the term “alcohol” in the present invention is preferably ethanol, which is generally used as a food or food additive, from the viewpoint of use in the vicinity of food.

- Alcohol impregnated in some medium is described as an "alcohol evaporating agent" in the present invention, which is preferable from the viewpoint of gradually evaporating gaseous alcohol and imparting sustained release.
- the medium for impregnating alcohol may be any medium capable of supporting liquid alcohol and gradually evaporating gaseous alcohol, and is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include porous silica, diatomaceous earth, pulp, paper, felt, nonwoven fabric, cellulose, absorbent cotton, gel, starch, cyclodextrin, vermiculite, activated carbon, etc., and porous silica is preferable, and among them, B-type silica is more preferable from the viewpoint of having a sufficient pore volume.
- the alcohol may be released from an "alcohol source".
- the term "alcohol generation source” refers to a mechanism for volatilizing, vaporizing, or spraying alcohol, and there are no structural limitations as long as the mechanism has the function.
- an example of a mechanism for volatilizing alcohol is a mechanism for holding a carrier impregnated with alcohol.
- An example of a mechanism for evaporating alcohol is a heating mechanism or an ultrasonic mechanism.
- An example of a mechanism for spraying alcohol is a sprayer including an atomizer.
- the "alcohol generation source" preferably does not include food or beverage that generates/contains alcohol in order to prevent the deterioration of the food or beverage itself.
- antibacterial means at least suppressing or preventing the growth of bacteria.
- bacteria include bacteria and fungi, such as Escherichia coli, yeast, fungi (mold), etc., but are not limited thereto.
- the "antibacterial” effect in the present invention is an antibacterial effect brought about by the coexistence of platinum group element-supported porous silica and alcohol. Although the mechanism of action of this antibacterial effect is not clear, it is believed that the platinum group element in the platinum group element-supported porous silica oxidizes gaseous alcohol to generate radicals, and these radicals suppress or prevent the growth of bacteria.
- peracetic acid and acetic acid are produced from ethanol via acetaldehyde. It is believed that peracetic acid, which has a strong antibacterial effect, is produced from acetaldehyde.

- Antibacterial Activity Evaluation Test (1) Configuration of Test Groups The configuration of each test group used in the measurement of antibacterial activity is as shown in FIG. Four items were placed in a barrier nylon pouch bag (A92-W manufactured by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Co., Inc.): platinum-supported mesoporous silica (powder) (packaged in a nonwoven bag), a polystyrene petri dish ( ⁇ 55 ⁇ 17 mm) containing qualitative filter paper (No. 1, ⁇ 47 mm), the test bacteria, and a spacer for ensuring an air space within the bag.
- the platinum-supported mesoporous silica was produced by the following method.
- the gel was then quickly taken out and crushed through a nylon net with a mesh size of 600 microns to obtain a powdered wet gel (silica hydrogel).
- 450g of this hydrogel and 450g of pure water were charged into a 1L glass autoclave and hydrothermal treatment was carried out at 130°C for 3 hours.
- the mixture was filtered through a 5A filter paper, and the filter cake was dried under reduced pressure at 100° C. without washing with water until a constant weight was obtained, thereby obtaining mesoporous silica.
- the obtained mesoporous silica was treated so that the Pt content was 1%, thereby obtaining a powdered platinum-supported mesoporous silica.
- the container for the agar medium was a ⁇ 55 x 17 mm polystyrene petri dish, and after the bacteria were seeded, the dish was left to stand in a pouch with the lid removed.
- a certain amount of ethanol (manufactured by Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., special grade reagent, purity 99.5% by mass or more) was dropped onto the qualitative filter paper, and the dish was placed in the pouch with the lid closed, allowing the gaseous ethanol to diffuse into the gas phase inside the pouch.
- the volume of the sealed space in each test group was 1100 cm3 .
- test fungi and culture conditions The test fungi and their culture conditions were as shown in Table 1. 50 ⁇ L of the previously cultured fungal liquid (for mold, conidial liquid obtained by suspending conidia in sterilized demineralized water, and for yeast and bacteria, fungal liquid obtained by liquid culture at 30° C. for 24 hours) was taken and smeared on the agar medium.
- the antibacterial activity was evaluated by visual observation of the test bacteria after each test section was kept at a constant temperature under the above-mentioned culture conditions. After the constant temperature storage, the petri dishes containing the test bacteria were removed from the pouches, and the culture appearance of the test bacteria in the test section that did not contain platinum-loaded mesoporous silica and ethanol was compared and evaluated.
- test areas in which conidial germination did not occur or stopped early were defined as having antibacterial activity (-), and test areas in which conidial germination and hyphae elongation occurred were defined as having no antibacterial activity (+).
- test sections in which the same level of growth was observed as in test sections that did not contain the agent were defined as having no antibacterial activity (+), and test sections in which no growth was clearly observed compared to test sections that did not contain the agent were defined as having antibacterial activity (-).
- Test result 1 The evaluation results of antibacterial activity against mold are shown in Table 2 below.
- the amount of ethanol dropped onto qualitative filter paper was set to 0 ⁇ L or 200 ⁇ L
- the amount of platinum-supported mesoporous silica added was set to 0 g or 0.5 g
- the mixture was stored at a constant temperature for two types of mold. It was determined that antibacterial activity was present only in the test group (Example 1) containing both ethanol and platinum-supported mesoporous silica. In other words, it was confirmed that antibacterial activity was obtained by combining ethanol and platinum-supported mesoporous silica, even though the doses of both alone did not show antibacterial activity.
- Test result 2 Based on the results of the above evaluation result 1, the amount of ethanol dropped that would result in antibacterial activity in the presence of a given amount of platinum-loaded mesoporous silica was investigated. The results are shown in Table 3 below.
- the amount of ethanol dropped onto the qualitative filter paper was set to 0 ⁇ L to 1000 ⁇ L, and the amount of platinum-loaded mesoporous silica added was set to 0g or 1.0g, and the samples were stored at a constant temperature.
- the minimum amount of ethanol dropped that demonstrated antibacterial activity in the presence of 1.0g of platinum-loaded mesoporous silica was 75 ⁇ L (for Penicillium digitatum: Example (2)) or 50 ⁇ L (for Cladosporium sp.: Example (1)).
- the measured values of the ethanol concentration in the gas phase inside the pouch bag in the test group where 50 ⁇ L of ethanol was dropped onto the qualitative filter paper were 310 Volppm, 307 Volppm, and 293 Volppm.
- the minimum amount of ethanol dropped that demonstrated antibacterial activity in the absence of platinum-loaded mesoporous silica was more than 1000 ⁇ L (for Penicillium digitatum: Comparative Example (6)) and 1000 ⁇ L (for Cladosporium sp.: Comparative Example (6)).
- no antibacterial activity was obtained with only 1.0 g of platinum-loaded mesoporous silica (Comparative Example 1).
- Test result 3 The amount of platinum-supported mesoporous silica added that exhibits antibacterial activity in the presence of ethanol was investigated. The results are shown in Table 4 below. For one type of mold, the amount of ethanol dropped onto the qualitative filter paper was set to 0 ⁇ L or 250 ⁇ L, and the amount of platinum-supported mesoporous silica added was set to 0 g, 0.01 g, 0.07 g, or 1.0 g, and the samples were stored at a constant temperature. The minimum amount of platinum-supported mesoporous silica added that exhibits antibacterial activity in the presence of ethanol was 0.01 g (Example A).
- Test result 4 The presence or absence of antibacterial activity against yeast and bacteria in the presence of ethanol and platinum-loaded mesoporous silica was investigated. The results are shown in Table 5 below. Antibacterial activity was observed against all tested yeasts and bacteria when 600 ⁇ L of ethanol was dropped onto qualitative filter paper and 1.0 g of platinum-loaded mesoporous silica was added (Example (A)). In other words, it was confirmed that high antibacterial activity can be obtained not only against mold but also against yeast and bacteria by combining the two.
- Antibacterial activity evaluation test (antibacterial test on mandarin oranges) In the above “1. Antibacterial activity evaluation test”, the bacteria was smeared and inoculated on the agar medium to evaluate the antibacterial activity, but in this test, the antibacterial activity was evaluated using mandarin oranges inoculated with mold instead of agar medium inoculated with bacteria.
- Test sections in which the same level of growth was observed as in the test section not containing platinum-loaded mesoporous silica were defined as having no antibacterial activity (+), and test sections in which no growth was clearly observed compared to the test section not containing platinum-loaded mesoporous silica were defined as having antibacterial activity (-).
- Each of the 1.0 g catalysts placed on a plastic tray was placed in a gas bag (Frec Sampler (R) bag (F type)) together with a Kimwipe soaked with 2 mL of ethanol, and the gas bag was heat-sealed.
- the sealed gas bag was left in a room temperature environment, and the amount of peracetic acid after 7 days was measured using a portable gas detector (D16) manufactured by Ati Co., Ltd.
- Table 7 shows the physical properties of "platinum-supported mesoporous silica,”"Pt/CARiACTG-6,” and “FT-eco,” as well as the measurement results of the amount of peracetic acid after 7 days.
- the concentration of peracetic acid detected in "Platinum-loaded mesoporous silica” was 0.21 ppm, and in Pt/CARiACT G-6, 0.03 ppm, while in FT-eco, the concentration was 0 ppm. It was confirmed that platinum-loaded mesoporous silica and Pt/CARiACT G-6 effectively generate peracetic acid, which has a strong antibacterial effect.
