Abstract
A deodorizing and sterilizing apparatus includes a reaction chamber in which ozone generated by an ozone generator and chlorine dioxide generated by a chlorine dioxide generator react together to form chlorine trioxide and in which the chlorine trioxide is reacted with an article or air to be deodorized and sterilized, thereby deodorizing and sterilizing the article or air. The apparatus also includes an adsorbent for removing ozone and chlorine from a gas after reaction. With this construction, the apparatus is capable of performing an effective deodorizing and sterilizing process even at a low humidity level.
Claims4
A deodorizing and sterilizing apparatus, comprising:
- (a) an ozone generator for generating ozone;
- (b) a chlorine dioxide generator for generating chlorine dioxide;
- (c) a reaction chamber, operatively connected to said ozone generator and said chlorine dioxide generator, for receiving matter to be deodorized and sterilized, the ozone and the chlorine dioxide, and for causing the ozone and the chlorine dioxide to react together to form chlorine trioxide and subsequently causing the chlorine trioxide and the matter to react together;
- and
- (d) an adsorbent, operatively mounted to said reaction chamber, for removing ozone and chlorine from a gas after reaction.
