Despite the existence and deployment of a range of antimicrobial/disinfectant/sterilization technologies and products, transmission of infectious diseases remains a significant problem worldwide, continuing to cause hundreds of millions of infections and millions of deaths every year of both human beings and animals. State-of-the-art technologies suffer from several disadvantages including being discrete in space and time, being overly dependent on human skill and discipline, and in some cases having harmful side-effects to human health. This invention proposes a series of industrial grade antimicrobial product designs, and materials and methods to make them highly effective products that offer continuous antimicrobial action, with minimum dependence on human discipline and skill once deployed, and with no harmful side-effects.

The present invention intends to disclose a process for in situ flocculation followed by solidification of biomedical waste that is capable of simultaneously treating and disinfecting solid and fluid samples. The process comprises of the addition of the waste samples to an alkaline aqueous solution of metal silicates followed by the addition of an organic or inorganic acid for flocculation and a solid metal oxide or phosphate at a defined volumetric and/or weighted composition leading to instantaneous solidification with >99.9% microbial disinfection and an all-in-one disinfecting device for treatment of biomedical waste. The present disclosure also provides a disinfection-flocculation-solidification and disposal device comprising the disinfection composition.

The present invention discloses an improved process for the efficient solidification of biomedical waste that is capable of simultaneously treating and disinfecting solid and fluid samples. The process comprises of the addition of the waste samples to an alkaline aqueous solution followed by the addition of a solid material at a defined volumetric and/or weighted composition leading to instantaneous solidification with >99.9% microbial disinfection and an all-in-one disinfecting device 10 for treatment of biomedical waste.

Methods may include either or both first and second materials be formed by vapor or solution-based coating schemes and many may be antimicrobial in nature. Nanopores and/or nanotubes engender an ultra-high anti-microbially active surface area.
