NANO LIFE DISINFECTING BOOTH

Disinfection mechanism

Disinfection means purifying a medium up to the extend that it can no longer cause infective disease with humans, animals and plants that come in contact with the medium (mainly water).
Because of its high oxidation potential, O3 oxidizes cell components of the bacterial cell wall. This is a consequence of cell wall penetration. Once O3 has entered the cell, it oxidizes all essential components (enzymes, proteins, DNA, RNA). When the cellular membrane is damaged during this process, the cell will fall apart.

The benefit of O3 is that it influences pH and temperature minimally on a broad spectrum. Although O3 solubility decreases when temperatures rise, disinfection rates increase per 10°C (factor 2 or 3). Within the range of 0 – 30°C, these two factors diminish one another . The disinfection rate of O3 hardly changes in a pH range of 6 – 8,5 . For certain resistant microorganisms (such as Giardia Muris), the disinfection rate increases at higher pH values . For other species of microorganisms, this is the other way around. In addition to the strong oxidizing power of O3, properties of O3 also helps to be an ideal aerial disinfectant. In contrast to UV radiation and HEPA filter, O3 is a gas that could penetrate to every corners of the room, thus it could disinfect the entire room effectively. As O3 is unstable, it is readily converted back to oxygen, leaving no harmful residual ozone after disinfection
