Chemical & Biological Dynamics

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) decay in the presence of typical metal oxides occurring in distribution systems was investigated. Metal oxides generally enhanced ClO2 decay in a second-order process via three pathways: (1) catalytic disproportionation with equimolar formation of chlorite and chlorate, (2) reaction to chlorite and oxygen, and (3) oxidation of a metal in a reduced form (e.g., cuprous oxide) to a higher oxidation state. Cupric oxide (CuO) and nickel oxide (NiO) showed significantly stronger abilities than goethite (α-FeOOH) to catalyze the ClO2 disproportionation (pathway 1), which pr...

Research and field experience with chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas to decontaminate structures contaminated with Bacillus anthracis spores and other microorganisms have demonstrated the effectiveness of this sterilant technology. However, because of its hazardous properties, the unreacted ClO2, gas must …

"These results suggest that the ClO2, radical does not form the stable spin adducts with nitrone spin-traps, but oxidizes these spin-traps to give the corresponding nitroxyl radicals."

"A higher concentration of ClO2was required at pH 8 than at pH 5 to achieve a lethal dose resulting in 50% mortality of spores (LD50). The addition of the divalent metal ion solution required an increase in ClO2 concentration to maintain a LD50. When com-bined with the nitrogen and hard water solution, the divalent metal ion solution placed a higherdemand on ClO2 at pH 5 and a lower demand on ClO2at pH 8,"

"Chlorite dismutase (Cld) is a heme b-dependent, O–O bond forming enzyme that transforms toxic chlorite (ClO2−) into innocuous chloride and molecular oxygen. The mechanism and specificity of the reaction with chlorite and alternate oxidants were investigated."

***** {Very, very broad range of home uses for chlorine dioxide}

Compositions and methods for generating ClO2 gas are disclosed. A composition that includes a chlorite salt is activated by exposure to ultraviolet light. After an optional storage period,

A multilayer medical packaging film includes a first layer and a chlorine dioxide-producing layer. The chlorine dioxide-producing layer includes a polymer composition and a plurality of chlorite ions. The chlorine dioxide-producing layer is substantially free of an energy-activated catalyst and is substantially free of an acid-releasing compound. However, the film is capable of generating chlorine dioxide when exposed to UV light and moisture.

"When independently tested ClearKlens Bi-Spore passes EN13704 with a contact time of 5 minutes, meaning that the extended contact time needed to ensure sporicidal-activity is eliminated. This result, combined with the low hazard to human health and the compatibility with different surfaces encountered in cleanroom environments, makes a chlorine dioxide generating system such as ClearKlens Bispore an ideal sporicidal disinfectant for use in pharmaceutical cleanrooms.
