Study on the disinfection efficacy of compound disinfectant of peracetic acid / 中华疾病控制杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the disinfection efficacy of c ompound disinfectant of peracetic acid. Methods Suspended liqu id quantitative sterilization test and metal corrosion test were carried out wit h different concentrations of disinfectant compound. Results T he killing rate of Bacillus subtilis var.niger spores e xposed to peracetic acid 500 mg*L-1 or available chlorine 300 mg*L-1 for 15 minutes was 99.94% and 97.91% respectively, while that of the spores e xpos ed to the compound disinfectant containing both of them reached 100%. The influ ence of organic substances on the bactericidal efficacy of this compound disinfe ctant was less than that on the bactericidal efficacy of the single ingredient. The corrosive effect of the compound disinfectant on the metals was milder than that of peracetic acid, but heavier than that of dichlorodimethylhydantoin. Conclusions Disinfectant efficacy of compound disinfectant increase s clearly, while metal corrosiveness decreases.
