Factors affecting the sterilization effect of chlorine dioxide generator
Mar 26,2020
Affecting the sterilization effect of chlorine dioxide generator is mainly affected by environmental factors and the conditions of chlorine dioxide itself. Environmental factors mainly include the content of pH, temperature, suspended solids, etc., and its own conditions include the content of chlorine dioxide, and contact with objects Time, etc. The following briefly analyzes these influencing factors.
1. pH: The effect of pH on the inactivation of microorganisms by chlorine dioxide is complicated. Some people believe that the pH value may exceed the change of the reaction rate of chlorine dioxide to other substances, which indirectly affects its effect of inactivating microorganisms. Although the effect of pH on the inactivation of chlorine dioxide by microorganisms is different, relative to liquid chlorine, in the range of pH 6.0 to 8.5, generally chlorine dioxide kills most microorganisms such as viruses and spores. The effect is less affected by pH.
2. Temperature: Similar to liquid chlorine disinfection, the higher the temperature, the greater the inactivation effect of chlorine dioxide. Generally, the inactivation efficiency of chlorine dioxide on microorganisms increases with the increase of system temperature.
3. Suspended matter: Suspended matter is considered to be one of the main factors affecting the effect of chlorine dioxide. Because suspended matter can prevent chlorine dioxide from directly contacting microorganisms such as bacteria, which is not conducive to the inactivation of microorganisms by chlorine dioxide. When microorganisms gather into groups, the inactivation effect of chlorine dioxide on them is also greatly reduced.
4. Chlorine dioxide dosage and contact time: The inactivation effect of chlorine dioxide on microorganisms increases with the increase of its dosage. The overall inactivation effect of the disinfectant on microorganisms depends on the product of the residual disinfectant concentration and the contact time, so extending the contact time can also help improve the disinfection effect of the disinfectant.
The chlorine dioxide generator has a good sterilization effect. The sterilization effect on these pure bacteria species increases with the increase of the amount of disinfectant, and the effect of chlorine dioxide is significantly better than that of chlorine gas.
