Inactivation of microorganisms by newly emerged microplasma UV lamps
Chemical Engineering Journal
Here, we identified and kinetic-modelled the efficiency of a new mercury-free radiation technology: microplasma UV, which radiates around proteins’ UV-absorption and decomposition peak with unique spectral power distributions. The microplasma UV lamp photons, at wavelengths below 240 nm, induced nucleic acid repair-deficiency disorder and enhanced inactivation of viral infectivity. Both studied microplasma UV sources presented higher germicidal efficiency for MS2 and significantly lower repair…
Here, we identified and kinetic-modelled the efficiency of a new mercury-free radiation technology: microplasma UV, which radiates around proteins’ UV-absorption and decomposition peak with unique spectral power distributions. The microplasma UV lamp photons, at wavelengths below 240 nm, induced nucleic acid repair-deficiency disorder and enhanced inactivation of viral infectivity. Both studied microplasma UV sources presented higher germicidal efficiency for MS2 and significantly lower repair for E. coli compared with the standard values reported for mercury UVC lamps and UVC light emitting diodes (UVC-LEDs) in the literature.

A UV reactor comprises a reactor body shaped to define longitudinally extending inner and outer reactor chambers. One or more passages located at a first longitudinal end of the inner reactor chamber provide fluid communication between the inner and outer reactor chambers. The outer reactor chamber surrounds a portion of the inner reactor chamber that includes the first longitudinal end. The UV reactor also comprises: an inlet/outlet in fluid communication with the outer reactor chamber; and an outlet/inlet in fluid communication with the inner reactor chamber. The outlet/inlet is located at a second longitudinal end of the inner reactor chamber. A cap connected to the reactor body houses one or more UV radiation emitters optically oriented to direct UV radiation into the inner reactor chamber. An inner fluid-flow cross-section of the inner reactor chamber may be greater than an outer fluid flow cross-section of the outer reactor chamber.

Methods and apparatus for disinfection of fluid-dispensing nozzles, orifices and the like
Filed WO2022087723A1
See patentAn apparatus for disinfecting a surface of a fluid dispenser comprises a reflector and one or more UV radiation emitters. The reflector has a reflective surface extending around an exterior perimeter (e.g. circumferential) surface of the fluid dispenser. The UV radiation emitters are optically-oriented to emit ultraviolet radiation toward the reflective surface. The reflector is configured to direct the ultraviolet radiation toward the exterior perimeter surface.
