Claims15
A process for the sanitization of an air stream comprising the steps of:
- electrolyzing water in an electrolyzer to generate hydrogen and oxygen;
- passing the hydrogen and oxygen to a reactor where the hydrogen and oxygen are reacted at reaction conditions to generate a hydrogen peroxide solution;
- and
- contacting the air stream with the hydrogen peroxide solution to produce a sanitized air stream.

A process for controlling mold and/or mildew comprising the steps of:
- electrolyzing water in an electrolyzer to generate hydrogen and oxygen;
- passing the hydrogen and oxygen to a reactor where the hydrogen and oxygen are reacted at reaction conditions to generate a hydrogen peroxide solution;
- and
- contacting the hydrogen peroxide solution with surfaces containing mold and/or mildew thereby destroying at least a fraction of the mold and/or mildew.
