Devices for the inactivation of the COVID-19 virus by disinfection processes with highly energetic photons of UVC + TiO2

The combination of UVC light and titanium dioxide (TiO2) can be an effective measure to combat the spread of COVID 19 and reduce the possibility of contagion in public places, hospitals, educational centers, by disinfecting surfaces and means of transports where human health is at risk. In this way,...

Sumario:The combination of UVC light and titanium dioxide (TiO2) can be an effective measure to combat the spread of COVID 19 and reduce the possibility of contagion in public places, hospitals, educational centers, by disinfecting surfaces and means of transports where human health is at risk. In this way, the TiO2 coating being a chemically stable compound, difficult to deteriorate, with oxidative potential capable of destroying the cell membrane of bacteria, causing leaks of the cytoplasm, it can coagulate the virus protein and inhibiting its activity, for which may be a very promising method for the disinfection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This proposal seeks a way to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus, which is why it has chosen to manufacture a series of devices to carry out a disinfection of surfaces with the help of UVC light + TiO2.
