The present invention relates to an electrolysis body suitable for water disinfection for use in a water reservoir having a definite internal volume comprising a) a pair of electrodes made of a conductive material suitable for providing electrolysis, b) means for applying current to the electrodes, c) an insert unit having a first side and a second side opposite each other, wherein the first side faces out of the water reservoir when the insert unit is placed in position in the water reservoir in use for water disinfection and the second side faces into the volume of the water reservoir when placed in position in the water reservoir in use for water disinfection, and d) optionally a filter unit extending from the second side of the insert unit. The present invention also concerns a water reservoir comprising the body, as well as a washing system comprising the water reservoir.

The antimicrobial toilet includes one or more pairs of electrodes positioned below a water line when the hydraulic circuit is at equilibrium. The pairs of electrodes may be connected to a power source by electrical wires. In some embodiments, the electrodes are positioned on the inner wall of the toilet bowl and in some embodiments, the electrodes are positioned within the siphon tube. In some embodiments, the electrodes are metal strips and in others they are circular. When actuated, an electrical current passes through the toilet water between the electrode pairs resulting in disinfected water. Some embodiments include a pump and water conduit which transfers disinfected water to areas above the water line and emits the water to wash areas of the toilet.

Provided is a tank sterilizer composed of a power supply part including an operation switch, and a sterilization part for sterilizing fluid in a tank, wherein a sterilization effect is maximized by generating microbubbles by electrolysis or electric discharge instead of killing bacteria by using a UV LAMP, an ozone lamp, and a pressure pump, and due to the coupling of a bubble generation module and a power connection module to each other by an electroconductive connector, a separate power connector is not required to be installed, whereby the tank sterilizer is simple in structure and is easy to be installed.

A versatile sanitizing and cleaning apparatus (10) has a reservoir (30), a removable base (40) at the bottom of the reservoir having electrodes (52, 54) that extend up into the reservoir (30) for electrolyzing water within the reservoir, and an opening (32) at the top end of the reservoir. A cap (60) having a valve (61) that is biased to the normally-closed position screws to the top of the reservoir (30), allowing the reservoir to be turned upside-down and inserted into a receiving portion (22) of a mop, thus allowing the mop (12) to use electrolyzed water for cleaning. Alternatively, instead of being used with the cap (60) and mop (12), the reservoir (30) and base (40) can be mated with a hand sprayer (64) allowing the reservoir (30), base (40), and hand sprayer (64) to be used as a spray bottle (69) to spray electrolyzed water for cleaning purposes.

A system, comprising: a chlorine source in form of an electrolysis unit to generate an in-situ generated active chlorine; wherein a concentration of perchlorate is not more than half of a concentration of chlorate; and pH of a fluid containing in-situ generated active chlorine is more than 7.4; a buffer tank to store a concentrate of in-situ generated active chlorine as a free available chlorine (FAC); a fluid distribution system to supply FAC in form of an in-use fluid to the cabinet; wherein the system is configured to clean and disinfect an article with the fluid while complying with national and international standards for food safety, operator's safety and regulatory requirements regarding the use of biocides.

Dehydration and drying are some of the oldest methods of preserving food and other biological materials such as proteins and both live and dead live microorganisms or their metabolites. The invention disclosed herein seeks a method of further improving the process of preserving biological material by combining the freezing or freeze-drying process with a partial infrared dehydration step. By using infrared radiation energy to perform simultaneous blanching and dehydration, the drying speed is greatly increased and better cellular and molecular integrity is maintained. The invention herein is also particularly useful in connection with cannabis and hemp.

The present invention is related to an electrochemical paper towel sterilizing device, which mainly comprises: at least one sterilizing device, at least one first accommodating space, at least one water-inlet portion, at least one electrolytic component, at least one power-supply element, and at least one second accommodating space. In this way, the second accommodating space is provided with a dry wiping-object (such as a paper towel), and the user can add water into the first accommodating space via the water-inlet portion and electrolyze the water through the electrolytic component to generate the high active oxygen species, and combine the water and the high active oxygen species into the wiping-object, thereby producing a wet wiping-object with sterilizing effect.

An antibacterial device that includes a substrate, a first electrode on the substrate, a second electrode on the substrate, and a protective layer covering the first electrode and the second electrode and having a first surface opposing of the substrate and a second surface opposite the first surface. Further, the first electrode and the second electrode are arranged such that the protective layer has an electric field strength on the second surface thereof of 150 kV/m or more when a voltage is applied to the first electrode or the second electrode.

Various embodiments of the present invention relate to, among other things, a nano carrier platform for generating enhanced engineered water nanostructures (iEWNS) encapsulating and delivering reactive oxygen species (ROS) and, in some instances, other active ingredients, methods for inactivating at least one of viruses, bacteria, bacterial spores, and fungi on a substrate by applying iEWNS to the substrate.

A disposable, single-use wipe that can be used deodorize, disinfect, and/or sterilize an object. A wipe includes a flexible membrane or cloth-like element that may apply, distribute, and/or remove a treatment agent to, over, or from a surface of the object. A treatment agent, such as micron-, or nano-sized particles of a disinfectant or sterilant chemical, Ozone, negative ions, Hydroxyl radicals, or alcohol, etc., may be applied to the surface by the wipe or another applicator. An additional treatment agent (e.g., Triclosan, Chlorine dioxide, Hydroxyl radicals, etc.), may be associated with a wipe to enhance biocidal activity. The wipe may be used alone, in combination with a holder, or in combination with an applicator of energized treatment agent. An applicator and/or a holder may be used to energize one or more treatment agent to improve its efficacy.
