A method includes producing recycled products from a plurality of used absorbent articles, each including a top sheet, a back sheet and an absorbent body including absorbent body materials, by recovering a plurality of structural members from the plurality of used absorbent articles. At least one of the top sheet and the back sheet includes a film. The method includes: separating the plurality of used absorbent articles into a plurality of the films and the absorbent body materials; sorting the plurality of films into a plurality of types of recyclable films according to the filler contents of the plurality of films; and forming a plurality of types of recycled resin pellets from the plurality of types of recyclable films.

A sterilization particle includes a porous carrier material having at least one of the following: a microporous material, a mesoporous material, a macroporous material, or a combination thereof; and a sterilization material contained in pores of the porous carrier material or adsorbed on a surface of the porous carrier material. The sterilization material includes at least 4 weight percent of the sterilization particle. A sterilization device, a method for preparing a sterilization particle, and a method for sterilizing a space are also disclosed.

The disclosure relates to disinfection application, particularly, to a device capable of disinfecting a ventilator as well as a face mask and a hose, and more particularly, to an ozone disinfection device, an ozone disinfection system, and an ozone disinfection method. An ozone disinfection device and an ozone disinfection system are provided. An ozone disinfection device includes: a sealed disinfection space, a gas distribution unit, an ozone generation unit, a suction pump, a filter, and a control module.

A sanitizing cabinet system includes ozone distribution passaging in open fluid communication with a sanitizing compartment inside a cabinet. An ozone generator and a sanitizing air mover are located in the ozone distribution passaging. The sanitizing air mover moves air from the sanitizing compartment across the generator to form ozonated air and moves the ozonated air from the ozone distribution passaging into the sanitizing compartment. A control system controls the ozone generator and air mover based on feedback from an ozone sensor indicating ozone exposure over time. An ozone conversion device is mounted on a dividing wall of the cabinet outside the sanitizing compartment. The dividing wall has inlet and outlet holes, and the ozone conversion device has upstream and downstream chambers in communication with the inlet and outlet holes. Selectively openable dampers separate upstream and downstream chambers from an ozone conversion chamber in which ozone conversion catalyst is received.

A temperature controlled delivery appliance and a method of operating the same are provided. The temperature-controlled delivery appliance includes a storage container, a climate control system, a sanitization assembly, and a locking mechanism. The sanitization assembly may include an ultraviolet light assembly or an ozone generator that may be selectively activated after a delivery to sanitize the delivered items. The locking mechanism locks the door of the temperature-controlled delivery appliance to prevent user access during a sanitization cycle, as well as to prevent other unauthorized access.

An ozone generation apparatus includes a flexible and porous gas permeable treatment patch configured to be releasably secured to a user's body such that an exterior surface of the treatment patch directly contacts skin on the user's body, and an ozone generating unit fluidically coupled to the treatment patch and configured to provide a flow of ozone through pores in the treatment patch toward and out through the exterior surface of the treatment patch. In certain embodiments, the patch may be used for combination therapies in which both ozone and antibiotics are simultaneously applied to the user's body.

A sanitizer using radiation comprises a hollow housing with an aperture, the housing being generally opaque to the radiation utilized. Mounted to the interior surfaces of the housing are radiation sources that produce radiation when powered. In operation, multiple objects to be sanitized are placed within the interior and the radiation sources powered, thereby sanitizing by radiation any pathogens present on the objects be irradiated. An easily adjustable shelving system that is substantially non-opaque to the radiation utilized, such as wire shelving with minimal opaque surfaces, may be used to support the objects to be sanitized. Depending on size, the portable box allows for multiple objects to be sanitized at the same time. The sanitizer in certain embodiments includes a plurality of UVC radiation sources mounted in the interior of the housing so as to surround the object to be sanitized on multiple sides.

A cleaning system includes a planar material beneath a soiled grow table. The planar material is non-porous except for a drain. Above the planar material is a plate layer including at least two layers of runners arranged in a grid where each successive layer is offset at an angle with respect to the grid of a previous layer. The plate layer rests upon the non-porous material. An upper layer covers the plate layer and has a plurality of holes. A roller table is provided for slideably supporting the grow table. Nozzles are positioned over the grow table and is/are interfaced to a pump for receiving and spraying liquid from the pump downwardly towards the grow table. The liquid and impurities (e.g., soil, leaves) fall to the upper layer and through the plurality of holes for cleaning and filtering the liquid before the liquid is returned to the pump.

Systems, apparatus, and methods are described for a disinfecting system formed of a plurality of modular units, wherein each modular unit is (1) coupleable to at least one other modular unit from the plurality of modular units and (2) includes an energy source from a plurality of energy sources. The plurality of energy sources can be configured to provide energy having an intensity capable of disinfecting a surface of the object located in a disinfecting area.

Aspects relate to an automated cell culture incubator and to methods for using such an incubator. In one aspect, the cell culture incubator includes an incubator cabinet having a transfer chamber and an internal chamber that are arranged to form an airlock configuration. In some embodiments, objects placed into the incubator cabinet are sterilized using ozone produced by an ozone generator. The incubator may include one or more transfer devices that move objects between the transfer chamber and the internal chamber.
