Abstract:
1. Apparatus for decontaminating and sterilizing chemical and biological agents, which comprises: a decontamination and sterilization chamber which contains object for decontaminating and sterilizing, and decontaminates and sterilizes chemical and biological agent on the surface of the object; a first fluid supplying line and a second fluid supplying line, which are installed in the form of closed circuit between the inlet and outlet of the decontamination and sterilization chamber so that fluid can be circulated; a peroxide vapor supplier which is installed on the first fluid supplying line to supply first fluid, which is oxidizing peroxide vapor, into the decontamination and sterilization chamber through the first fluid supplying line using air as carrier gas; a non-thermal atmospheric pressure air plasma reactor which is installed on the second fluid supplying line and generates air plasma containing plasma free radical and active species by plasmarizing a portion of mixture of gases comprising peroxide vapor, water vapor and air exited through the exit of the decontamination/sterilization chamber so that the air plasma, as a second fluid, is supplied to the decontamination and sterilization chamber through the rear end of the peroxide vapor supplier; and a blower which is installed on the front of the non-thermal atmospheric pressure air plasma reactor and on the front of the peroxide vapor supplier in order to blow air or air mixture.
