    Abstract: The invention discloses a fulvic acid sterilization deodorant as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of deodorants. Natural polymer compound fulvic acid is modified to prepare a fulvic acid surfactant which is compounded with plant extract to prepare the deodorant with good sterilization and deodorization effects. The fulvic acid with strong hydrophilicity is enhanced in surface activity by introducing a lipophilic end through reaction with a cationic surfactant; an emulsifier is introduced to the fulvic acid solution and the plant extract with strong volatility to prolong interaction between deodorant and odor molecules, achieving an efficient removal purpose. The preparation method is simple in process and low in cost, adopts easily-available raw materials, and can achieve large-scale production.

  • Patent number: 10134446
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a spindle to rotate a magnetic recording medium and a magnetic field generator to expose a track of the medium to a DC magnetic field. The magnetic field generator is configured to saturate the track during an erase mode and reverse the DC magnetic field impinging the track during a writing mode. A laser arrangement heats the track during the erase mode and, during the writing mode, heats the track while the track is exposed to the reversed DC magnetic field so as to write a magnetic pattern thereon. A reader reads the magnetic pattern and generates a read signal. A processor is coupled to the reader and configured to determine an anisotropy parameter using the read signal. The apparatus can further comprise a Kerr sensor that generates a Kerr signal using the magnetic pattern.
