| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Autoclave sterilization, high pressure - high temperature - steam sterilization, is the most common and preferred method because of its economical, nontoxic, and non-residual chemical property. But this system is not applicable to open space, such as environmental sterilization, because it is closed system. Therefore, chemical compounds are often used for environmental disinfection and cleaning. But, their effects on environmental loading are feared, and their activities are easily interfered by organic matter because of their high reactivity.
In this study, we focused on superheated steam, that is higher than boiling point of water at atmospheric pressure, and tried to establish 5-sec superheated steam sterilization in the presence of organic matter, and developed small-sized movable superheated steam sterilizer.
