Figure 1: Two theoretical biodecontamination cycles (both at a temperature of 23°C) with different initial moisture contents. During the decontamination phase, a portion of vH2O2 is decomposed. In this case, 10% of vH2O2 is decomposed from the initial value, and more H2O2 evaporates to compensate. A similar situation is observed when using two different H2O2 solution concentrations: 12% in the upper graphs and 59% in the lower graphs.

Figure 1: Two theoretical bio-decontamination cycles, (both with Temperature at 23°C) with different humidity levels at the onset of conditioning. During the decontamination phase, some vH2O2 will decompose. In this case, 10% of vH2O2 has decomposed from its initial value and more H2O2 is vaporized to compensate. A similar situation is shown using two different concentrations of H2O2 solution: 12%-m in upper graphs and 59%-m in lower graphs.

Figure 1: Two theoretical bio-decontamination cycles, (both with Temperature at 23 °C) with different humidity levels at the start of conditioning. During the decontamination phase, some vH2O2 will decompose. In this case, 10% of vH2O2 has decomposed from its initial value and more H2O2 is vaporized to compensate. A similar situation is shown using two different concentrations of H2O2 solution: 12 %-m in the upper graphs and 59 %-m in the lower graphs.

Figure 2: Two biodecontamination cycles with different solutions of liquid H2O2 (T = 23 °C). In this case, 10% of vH2O2 is decomposed from the initial value, and more H2O2 is evaporated to compensate and maintain the vH2O2 content constantly.

Figure 3: Two biodecontamination cycles with different temperatures. In this case, 10% of vH2O2 is decomposed from the initial value, and more H2O2 is evaporated for balancing and maintaining the vH2O2 content at a constant level.

Influences in Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor Bio-decontamination

Considering Condensation

In this article the key parameters are discussed that influence the condensation point and maximum ppm H2O2 in vaporized hydrogen peroxide applications. Four rules are proposed that can guide repeatable, effective, bio-decontamination processes.

Vaporized hydrogen peroxide (vH2O2) is widely used to p…
