  • Patent number: 11596701
    Abstract: The invention relates to a disinfection process comprising the feed materials H2O2 and NO2? and a mixing step and a distribution step, wherein the mixing step and the distribution step (during which each point on the surface being disinfected is wetted with a solution of active substance) are implemented during a processing period ZA. An exposure step follows, in which the distributed solution of active substance acts upon the surface in contact with the solution of active substance during an exposure period ZE. In this process, the maximum NO2? concentration during the mixing step is of 300 mM, and the time-integrated reaction rate W is represented during the exposure period ZE by the integral formula (I), where k1 denotes the pH-value-dependent speed constant of the reaction between H2O2 and NO2? and the pH value of the solution of active substance before it contacts the surface being disinfected lies in the range of 2.1?pH?6.8.

  • Patent number: 11032898
    Abstract: A modular plasma jet treatment system comprising a plasma source with a high-voltage module comprising a high-voltage electrode and first connection means, as well as a plasma jet applicator wherein the plasma jet applicator comprises a cavity for a process gas, wherein a ceiling portion of the cavity is either arranged on the plasma jet applicator and/or on the high-voltage module, the cavity comprising a process gas inlet and at least one plasma jet outlet, wherein the plasma jet applicator comprises a second connection means, such that the plasma jet applicator and the high-voltage module are repeatedly connectable and releasable, wherein, when the plasma jet applicator is connected to the high-voltage module, the cavity is adjacently arranged with the ceiling portion at the high-voltage module, and wherein the cavity is separated by a dielectric from the high-voltage electrode of the high-voltage module.
