A step cavity type low frequency ultrasonic atomization nozzle with a swirlable vortex impeller, has an air intake casing, an inlet casing, a Laval core, a fixed cap, an adjustable pedestal, and taper rectifying sleeve, swirlable vortex impeller, stepped resonance tube, regulative plunger, positioning lead, second pedestal. The regulative plunger is located in the second stepped hole of the stepped resonance tube, and its axial position is adjustable; the swirlable vortex impeller is fixed on the taper resonance tube through the bearing, and the outer cone surface is matched with the inner cone surface of the taper rectifying sleeve. The resonant cavity is improved so that the two-phase fluid in the cavity can generate higher frequency and greater fluctuation of the pressure fluctuation amplitude, optimize the initial atomization performance of the nozzle, and optimize the nozzle outlet, and increase the swirlable vortex impeller.

The present invention achieves a decontamination effect with a proper amount of hydrogen peroxide mist supplied to a room to be decontaminated by further refining such hydrogen peroxide mist supplied to the room for dispersion/diffusion, and reducing the duration of operations such as aeration to increase efficiency of decontamination.

The decontamination system includes a mist generation means, a mist discharge port, and a mist dispersion/diffusion means. The mist generation means converts a decontamination liquid into a mist to generate a mist for decontamination. The mist discharge port is opened at an upper portion on an internal side wall surface of the room to discharge a such mist into the inside of the room. The mist dispersion/diffusion means generates sound flows by an ultrasound in the vertical direction from a plate surface of a vibration plate provided adjacent to a lower portion of the mist discharge port on the internal side wall surface of the room or adjacent to a lower portion on a side surface in a mist discharge direction. The mist is pressed by acoustic radiation pressure backward or laterally in intermittent operation or stronger/weaker operation of the system.
