Abstract: This invention is directed to a sterilization method of contaminated areas with biological agents by making use of the acidic ozone water that very effectively kills spores of Bacillus atrophaeus, thereby demonstrating the capability of sterilizing a large surface-area in a very short time and reinstating the contaminated environment as free from toxic biological agents. The effective sterilization of the acidic ozone water is due to synergic benefits derived from the combination of ozone and acidity. The acidic ozone water can also effectively kill other ordinary microbes of viruses, bacteria, and fungi, hence being applicable to agriculture, seafood and livestock industries for the preservation of various products as well as being useful in hospitals or other germ infested areas for disinfections. Particularly, the acidity and ozone in the seawater sterilize microbes effectively, demonstrating a potential for the sterilization of a large amount of seawater in a short time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for sterilization of various microbes including toxic biological agents, by abundantly producing the acidic ozone water that very effectively kills spores of Bacillus atrophaeus. The sterilization effectiveness of the acidic ozone water is due to synergic benefits derived from the combination of ozone and acidity in water. The acidic ozone water produced from the apparatus of the present invention can effectively kill most of the microbes of viruses, bacteria, and fungi, hence being applicable to agriculture, seafood and livestock industries for the preservation of various products as well as being useful in hospitals or other germ infested areas for disinfections. After the decontamination process, the acidic ozone water produced from the apparatus of the present invention disintegrates into water and oxygen without any trace of harmful materials to the environment.

Abstract: The invention is related to an apparatus made of microwave plasma burner for a large-volume elimination of toxic airborne chemical and biological warfare agents. The apparatus can purify the interior air of large volume in an isolated space such as buildings, public transportation systems, and military vehicles contaminated with chemical and biological warfare agents. The apparatus consists of a microwave plasma torch connected in series to a fuel injector and a reaction chamber for elimination and burnout of toxic airborne warfare agents in large quantities. Hydrocarbon fuel in gaseous or liquid state injected into the microwave plasma torch evaporates instantaneously, generating a large volume of plasma flame in the reaction chamber where the oxidation mechanism eliminates the chemical and biological warfare agents that pass through the reaction chamber. The apparatus can also purify air contaminated with volatile organic compounds and eliminate soot from diesel engines.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for generating pure steam torch by microwaves and more particularly to the microwave steam torch for reforming hydrocarbon fuels by injecting steam into discharge tube energized by microwaves and by injecting the fuels into high temperature steam-plasma. The invention provides a compact and portable apparatus for generating pure steam torch. The apparatus includes a magnetron, an electrical power supplier, a waveguide system, a microwave power monitoring system, stub tuners, a discharge tube, a steam supply system, a plasma ignitor and fuel injection system for reforming of hydrocarbon fuels. The method is also described for reforming of hydrocarbon fuels by injecting gaseous, liquid or solid-powder hydrocarbon-fuels into the microwave steam torch to decompose the hydrogen and carbon containing fuels, and to mix the resultant gaseous carbon compounds with oxygen or hydroxide molecules, instantaneously generating hydrogen or other hydrocarbon compounds.

The apparatus consists of several microwave plasma torches connected in series for elimination and burnout of toxic airborne warfare agents. Microwave radiation generates an atmospheric plasma torch in certain conditions. Oxidation mechanism in the torch flames eliminates the chemical and biological warfare agents.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an apparatus made of atmospheric resistive-barrier discharge for sterilization of medical tools wrapped in typical hospital cloths, for sterilization of manufactured drugs in typical packaging materials and for sterilization of biologically contaminated articles. The apparatus consists of layers of the resistive-barrier discharge device operated at room temperature. An electrical discharge in the resistive-barrier discharge system generates atmospheric plasma in oxygen gas, efficiently generating ozone, which in turn sterilizes the medical tools, manufactured drugs and biologically contaminated articles at room temperature.

Abstract: The surface cleaning of various components of high-tech devices, including computers and/or semiconductors, is performed during manufacturing. This surface cleaning is performed within a reduced pressure chamber by making use of perifluorocompound industrial gases, which eventually contaminate the atmosphere. These contaminant gases are emitted with nitrogen gas, which is used in operation of a dry pump. Under certain conditions, microwave radiation generates an atmospheric plasma torch. This plasma-torch device is attached to the vacuum pump, which emits the nitrogen gas with contaminants. The oxidation mechanism in the torch flames eliminates these contaminants. Additional reaction gases are mixed with the waste gas to improve efficiency of the contaminant elimination.
