Publication number: 20200254123Abstract: A treatment method is capable of degrading or sterilizing harmful substances or microorganisms of which the degradation, detoxification, or the like is not easy for ozone gas alone. A harmful substance treatment method is one that makes ozone gas act on harmful substances, microorganisms, or the like in an environment humidified using a surfactant solution. The harmful substances include anticancer drugs. As a surfactant to be used, a non-ionic surfactant, an anionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, or an amphoteric surfactant can be used.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2018Publication date: August 13, 2020Applicants: TAMURA TECO CO., LTD., KINKI UNIVERSITYInventors: Kozo TAMURA, Shunji ISHIWATA, Tomomi INOUE, Takeshi KOTAKE

Patent number: 10675495Abstract: A CT value controller includes a storage means, an input means, and a computing means. The storage means stores a function expressing a relative humidity and a CT value regarding a degradation degree of an anticancer agent, an assumed relative humidity, and a CT setting. The input means inputs a measured relative humidity and a measured ozone concentration at a time of degradation treatment of the anticancer agent. The computing means calculates a corrected CT value increment based on a difference between the measured relative humidity and the assumed relative humidity at every input of the relative humidity and the ozone concentration by using the function. The computing means determines a termination of the degradation treatment of the anticancer agent when an integrated CT value of the corrected CT value increments reaches the CT setting.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignees: TAMURA TECO CO., LTD., KINKI UNIVERSITYInventors: Kozo Tamura, Yoshiyuki Fukuda, Shunji Ishiwata, Atsushi Taga
