Patent ID: 6958167

Claim:
A method of providing a cold aerosol of substantially pure solid particles of CIPC for treatment of a vegetable storage facility comprising: micronizing solid CIPC at a temperature below about 105° F. in a micronizer to form a cloud of cold micronized solid particles of CIPC; directing an air stream into said cloud of micronized solid particles of CIPC, said air stream having a temperature less than the melting point of said CIPC to form an expanded cloud of solid particles of CIPC maintained at a temperature of less than about 105° F.; separating larger solid particles of CIPC from smaller particles of CIPC in said expanded cloud of CIPC while maintaining temperatures of solid particles of CIPC less than the melting point of CIPC to form a stable aerosol of said smaller particles of CIPC; and directing said aerosol to the internal space of a vegetable storage facility to deposit small solid CIPC particles upon the contents of said facility.
