METHOD OF DISINFECTING VEHICLES AND CONTAINERS AFTER TRANSPORTING LIVESTOCK CARGO Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61L2/16 A61L2/10 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agriculture and is meant for disinfecting vehicles and containers after transporting livestock cargo. The method involves treating vehicles and containers with a disinfectant. The disinfectant contains a solution of oxidants and additionally propylene glycol, sodium nitrite, sodium benzoate, products of reaction of glycerol with formic acid, with the following ratio of components, wt %: propylene glycol - 0.9-7.5, sodium nitrite - 0.27×10^-3-16.5×10^-3, sodium benzoate - 1.35×10^-3-82.5×10^-3, products of reaction of glycerol with formic acid - 0.18×10^-3-11.0×10^-3, solution of oxidants - the balance. The solution of oxidants is synthesised from 10.0-20.0% sodium chloride solution subjected to dc current with intensity which enables to achieve pH 7-8, concentration of active chlorine of 0.5-0.7% and redox potential of +1000±50 mV. Treatment is carried out once with consumption of the disinfectant of 0.15-0.25 l/m² with exposure of 55-65 min; immediately after treating with the disinfectant, the surface of the vehicles and containers is further exposed for 30-60 min with constant UV radiation with wavelength of 254±5 nm with a dose of 12.8-25.6 J/cm².

EFFECT: high efficiency of disinfecting vehicles and containers after transporting livestock cargo.
