🌟 Patent of the Week: Rapid Chlorine Dioxide Decontamination System
US Army’s Innovative On-Site Solution for Superior Surface Sterilization
What’s the Big Idea?
The U.S. Army has developed a powerful method for quickly generating chlorine dioxide, an effective disinfectant, right where you need it. By mixing two simple powders with water, this system produces chlorine dioxide on-site, which can be used as a liquid disinfectant or gas sterilant.
Why It Matters
Chlorine dioxide is a versatile and powerful antimicrobial that kills bacteria, viruses, and parasites. It’s used worldwide in small doses to make drinking water safer and in higher concentrations to clean food like poultry and vegetables. It’s also great for sterilizing medical equipment, rooms, and surfaces. This Army method doesn’t need electricity, making it perfect for remote locations or emergency situations.
Stage of Development
This technology is ready for licensing, with non-exclusive licenses starting at $5,000 upfront and a 6% royalty. It’s a practical and effective solution for a variety of applications, from home use to commercial and industrial settings.
