Improvements in or relating to sterilizing processes

A sterilizing process comprises contacting a surface to be sterilized with steam at or about atmospheric pressure and having homogeneously mixed therewith gaseous hydrogen chloride, the proportions ranging from 99.964 to 96.4% steam to from 0.036 to 3.6% hydrogen chloride by weight, and causing said...

Zusammenfassung:A sterilizing process comprises contacting a surface to be sterilized with steam at or about atmospheric pressure and having homogeneously mixed therewith gaseous hydrogen chloride, the proportions ranging from 99.964 to 96.4% steam to from 0.036 to 3.6% hydrogen chloride by weight, and causing said gaseous mixture to condense on said surface with heating of the same, said surface being thereby sterilized. The surface may be heated from ambient to a temperature within the range of from 150 to 212 DEG F., and contact maintained for a period of 10 seconds to 10 minutes.
