Chlorine dioxide gas is generated at a stable concentration from a liquid composition. The composition is obtained by mixing an aqueous chlorite solution, an activator that immediately adjusts a pH of the aqueous chlorite solution, thereby causing the aqueous chlorite solution to generate chlorine dioxide gas, and an activation inhibitor that slowly mitigates an action of the activator.

A multifunctional microwave plasma and ultraviolet light deodorization treatment unit, which includes: a rapid decomposition device (1), a high frequency plasma electric field (2), a microwave plasma electric field (3), a high intensity ultraviolet radiation field (4), a low temperature plasma electric field (5), a high intensity ozone gas reaction chamber (6), a reaction termination chamber (7) and a clean gas organization chamber (8) sequentially installed inside a horizontal rectangular box which has an elongated body defining a horizontal axis and has a channel cavity therein. The deodorization treatment unit further includes an exhaust gas odor collecting pipe and an odor gas storage cabinet (9) connected to an air pump (10), the air pump (10) is connected to an odor gas inlet of the rapid decomposition device (1), the clean gas organization chamber (8) has one end connected to a clean gas exhaust pipe.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for using the compositions to treat animal facilities. In particular, the composition comprises a metal sulfate, an inorganic acid having a pKa of less than 1, and one or more organic acids.

Described herein is a device, and consumer articles associated therewith, for dispensing an active composition and absorbing malodors in the surrounding space.

An apparatus for cleaning exhaust gas. The apparatus includes a housing having an upstream end configured to receive exhaust gas and a downstream end configured to release the exhaust gas. At least one coalescing filter layer and a catalyst filter layer are disposed within the housing. The catalyst filter layer includes molded sintered pellets formed from a porous material and a non-precious metal catalyst. The molded sintered pellets create a porous area for coalescing oil mist, and the catalyst hydrogen peroxide.

Articles can be provided with odor resistance by applying a dispersion of a halogenated heterocyclic N-halamine in an inert liquid carrier onto the surface of the article and allowing the inert liquid carrier to penetrate into it. The N-halamine accordingly becomes deposited on the surface of the article after the inert liquid carrier penetrates into the article. This method can be used to provide odor resistance to a variety of substrates, including garbage bags. It can also be used to deposit other functional particulates onto the surface of substrates having sufficient porosity to take up the vehicle. For instance, such functional particles can be oxidants that display antimicrobial and/or enzyme inhibitory efficacy or particles having toxin interaction potentials through oxidative degradation or adsorption of toxic substances in air and/or water, such as fluoride uptake by metal oxide microparticles.

Methods and systems described perform air cleaning and/or sanitization in a heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and/or refrigeration (HVACR) system by detecting a concentration of airborne contaminants in a space serviced by the HVACR system. The detected concentration of airborne contaminants is determined whether it exceeds a threshold relative to a capacity of a first air cleaner. When the detected concentration of airborne contaminants exceeds the threshold, a second air cleaner is selected and enabled to be activated in the space. When the detected concentration of airborne contaminants does not exceed the threshold, the first air cleaner is selected and enabled to be activated in the space. The first air cleaner has a cleaning material different from the second air cleaner, and the first air cleaner, relative to the second air cleaner, treats the space at a lower concentration of airborne contaminants. The second air cleaner includes specifically designed cleaner modules.

A formulation to reduce the numbers of bacteria, particularly Gram positive bacteria, in a space such as a waste disposal bin, via the vapour phase, and active over a long period, typically several weeks. The product comprises one or more essential oils or essential oil components plus a mixture of volatile and non-volatile solvents, on a carrier such as a non-woven, sintered plastic or cardboard.

A fragrance sachet includes a holder for a medium such as vermiculite. The medium can be treated with fragrance materials such as essential oils. The holder comprises a pouch formed with different materials on opposing sides which form designated respective front and back of the sachet. The designated front material is selected to support the application of indicia and/or decorations, while the designated back material may have filter type characteristics, to facilitate fragrance dispersion. The use of heat-sealable opposing side materials particularly facilitates formation of the pouch using a form-fill-seal system. The resulting sachet product may be configured with self-standing and/or hanging support features which avoid damaging any associated finished surfaces.
