Radiation sterilization, English name: radiation sterilization, the use of ionizing radiation to kill disease-causing microorganisms ability to disinfect disposable medical supplies, it is superior to the heating method and ethylene oxide chemical disinfection method, the development of the rapid development of a very successful example of radiation processing, the material of the external disinfecting supplies, including metal (needles, blades, etc.), plastic ( syringes, catheters, etc.), rubber (gloves, etc.), cotton fiber (gauze, bandages, etc.), and glass products (reagent bottles, etc.).
International general disinfectant amount of 25kGy, some countries tend to stipulate higher (such as 30 ~ 50kG.y). 60Co γ source for the main irradiation device, can also be used for high-energy industrial electron gas pedal.
Radiation disinfection in the far-infrared radiation and microwave radiation is the use of high technology to produce high-temperature source of sterilization of a new method. The cultural relics into the far-infrared baking cabinet or baking room, the use of far-infrared radiation produced by the thermal effect of energy conversion, so that the internal molecules of the material to produce intense *** vibration phenomenon, molecular movement intensified, to achieve high temperature sterilization effect of insecticides. It is irradiated at a temperature of about 60 ℃, the time should not be too long, otherwise it will also make the texture and color of the fabric changes. Often used for food raw materials powdered material sterilization, such as pepper, cumin powder, there is a time limit.
