Oxygenated water, may be a lot of people do not know very well, but when it comes to ozone water, is not as if there is probably a little bit of a concept, in fact, the ozone is the common name of the living oxygen, ozone water to kill is the oxygen water to kill the poison. But now is not talking about sterilization, what is the relationship with this?
The role of oxygen
Oxygen, in addition to the role of today's protection of human beings to reduce the harm of ultraviolet rays, there is another use, that is - sterilization.
There are three ways in which oxygen can kill bacteria:
1. Oxygen can oxidize and decompose the enzymes needed to degrade glucose inside the bacteria, resulting in the inability of the TCA cycle to take place, which leads to the inability to supply ATP needed for cellular life activities, so that the bacteria can be inactivated and die.
2. Directly interacting with bacteria and viruses, it destroys their cellular organelles and DNA and RNA, which disrupts bacterial metabolism and leads to bacterial death.
3. Through the cell membrane organization, invade into the cell, act on the lipoproteins of the outer membrane and the internal lipopolysaccharide, make the bacteria undergo permeability aberration and lysis and death.
What are the advantages of oxygen sterilization?
Highly efficient sterilization. Oxygen as a strong oxidant, sterilization capacity is 50 times that of chlorine, sterilization speed is 3000 times that of chlorine, can effectively kill various bacteria, viruses, microorganisms.
Safe sterilization. The use of oxygen sterilization finally decomposed and reduced to oxygen, no chlorine residue. Will not cause damage to the environment, while avoiding the risk of scalding hot water sterilization. At the same time, oxygen can oxidize the cell wall of bacteria, destroy the bacterial cells do not produce drug resistance.
Saving energy. Oxygenated laundry system can take the whole process of cold water (below 40 ℃) washing, and at the same time using fast washing program, can reduce energy consumption.
Saving detergent. Oxygen can effectively decompose stains, bacteria and viruses left in textiles during the cleaning process, reducing the use of detergent.
Extending the life of clothes. Using Oxygen to disinfect and sanitize clothes helps to make them softer and smoother. It reduces the use of hot water, chemicals, and shortens drying time, which helps to protect the clothes.
Compared with the chlorine used in traditional disinfection, hospital oxygen sterilization is faster, safer, and does not leave a residue that can damage items.
But live oxygen in the air is less stable, and live oxygen is not directional, usually directly overflow, so the general use of live oxygen sterilization is ineffective, and will also corrode the equipment and the impact on the environment;
So the modern use of live oxygen disinfection sterilization, not the use of live oxygen, but the use of - - oxygen water.
So the modern use of oxygen sterilization is not to use oxygen, but to use - oxygenated water.
Oxygenated water is not only better than live oxygen, but also does not affect the environment. And the higher the concentration of oxygenated water, the sterilization effect is even more significant, in the high concentration of oxygenated water environment, the sterilization rate of E. coli can reach 99.99%, and the sterilization rate of the rest of the bacteria is 99.999%.
And the oxygenated water is safe to sterilize without residue, so it's OK to use it to sterilize medical equipment and patient's clothes, etc.
The oxygenated water can be used to sterilize the bacteria in the environment.
