Abstract
Static fluid disinfecting system and related methods. Implementations of a method of disinfecting a fluid include statically contacting a fluid included in in a container with an open-celled foam where the open-celled foam is coated with a quaternary organosilane coating produced from a quaternary ammonium organosilane reagent where the fluid contains one or more microorganisms.
Claims19
A system for disinfecting a fluid, the system comprising:
- an open-celled foam comprising a range of pores per inch (PPI) between 10 PPI and 110 PPI, the open-celled foam coated with a quaternary organosilane coating produced from a quaternary ammonium organosilane reagent having the formula:
- wherein A is a member independently selected from the group consisting of —OR4, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, and substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl;
- and
- wherein R4 is a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, and substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl;
- and
- R is substituted or unsubstituted alkylene;
- R1, R2, and R3 are members each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl;
- and substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl;
- Z is a member selected from the group consisting of fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, tosylate, hydroxide, sulfate, and phosphate;
- and
- n is 1, 2, or 3;
- and
- a container enclosing the open-celled foam which places the open-celled foam in static contact with a fluid comprised in the container, the fluid comprising one or more microorganisms selected from the group consisting of Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia.

- R1, R2, and R3 are members each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl;
- and substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl;
- Z is a member selected from the group consisting of fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, tosylate, hydroxide, sulfate, and phosphate;
- and
- n is 1, 2, or 3;
- and
- wherein the fluid comprises one or more microorganisms.
