METHOD FOR APPLYING ANTIMICROBIAL AEROSOL TREATMENT Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves obtaining anolyte and catholyte by applying method for electrochemically activating alkaline metal chloride. The anolyte is produced with redox potential being equal to plus 200 to plus 1250 mV relative to silver chloride electrode and pH=1.8-8.2. The catholyte is produced with redox potential being equal to minus 300 to minus 900 mV relative to silver chloride electrode and pH=8.2-12.9. Then, objects are treated in succession with the same solution. The produced solutions are sprayed in membrane-type electrolyzer with mass concentration of the aerosol being within 5-700 mg/m³ and dispersity of 2.0-100 mcm. Aerosol temperature is to be higher than the temperature of object under treatment. Aerosol particles velocity is not to be less than 100 m/s and ClO- concentration is to be within the limits of 200-600 mg/l. Each solution should be used not later as 20 min after being produced in membrane-type electrolyzer. Treatment is 40 min long.

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; avoided environment contamination.
