Application of ozone decomposition catalyst in medical disinfection equipment

In hospitals and medical Settings, disinfection is a crucial step. Bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens can spread through the air or on surfaces, causing patients to become infected or even causing outbreaks. Traditional disinfection methods such as ultraviolet or chemical disinfectants are effective, but there are problems such as low efficiency and residual harmful substances. Ozone (O) is a strong disinfectant that can quickly kill bacteria and viruses, but ozone itself is also a harmful gas, and excessive inhalation will cause harm to the human body. Therefore, after the use of ozone in medical disinfection equipment, how to safely and efficiently decompose residual ozone has become a key problem.
Ozonolysis catalyst is the core technology to solve this problem. Its role is to quickly convert ozone into harmless oxygen (O2), thereby avoiding the harm of ozone leakage to health care workers and patients. Commonly used catalysts for ozone decomposition include metal oxides such as manganese, copper, and iron, which can accelerate the decomposition reaction of ozone and convert it into oxygen in a short time.
In medical disinfection equipment, the application of ozone decomposition catalyst is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
High efficiency decomposition: The catalyst can quickly decompose ozone at room temperature, ensuring that there is no residue in the air after disinfection.
High safety: Through catalytic decomposition, the harm of ozone leakage to the human body is avoided, and the safety of the medical environment is guaranteed.
Energy saving and environmental protection: the catalyst does not need additional energy, and only needs to use the chemical properties of ozone itself to complete the decomposition, energy saving and no secondary pollution.
Long life design: Medical equipment requires high durability of the catalyst, and scientists have extended the service life of the catalyst by optimizing the material design and preparation process.
In the future, with the continuous progress of catalyst technology, ozone disinfection equipment will play a greater role in the medical field, providing hospitals with safer and more efficient disinfection solutions.
