Abstract:
This paper represents the reviews of recent advancements in different physicochemical methods for disinfecting contaminated surfaces, which are considered to be responsible for transmitting different bacterial, viral, and fungal infectious diseases. Surface disinfection can be achieved by applying chemicals, UV-based processes, ionization radiation (gamma-ray, X-ray and electron beam), application of self-disinfecting surfaces, no-touch room disinfection methods, and robotic disinfection methods for built-in settings. Application of different chemicals, such as alcohols, hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, quaternary ammonium salts, phenol, and iodine solution, are common and economical. However, the process is time-consuming and less efficient. The use of UVC light (wavelength: 200-280 nm, generated by low vapor mercury lamps or pulse xenon light) has gained much attention for disinfecting fomites worldwide. In recent times, the combination of UV and H2O2, based on the principle of the advanced oxidation process, has been applied for disinfecting inanimate surfaces. The process is very efficient and faster than chemical and UV processes. Heavy metals like copper, silver, zinc, and other metals can inactivate microbes and are used for surface modification to produce self-disinfecting surfaces and used in healthcare facilities. In combination with UVB (280-315 nm) and UVA (315-400 nm), titanium oxide has been utilized for disinfecting contaminated surfaces. Ionization radiation, one of the advanced methods, can be used in disinfecting medical devices and drugs. Post-COVID-19 pandemic, the no-touch and robotic disinfection methods utilizing chemicals or UVC lights have received much importance in built-in settings. Among these methods, surface disinfection by applying chemicals by fogging/vaporization and UV radiation methods has been widely reported in the literature compared to other methods.

摘要:
本文代表了对污染表面进行消毒的不同物理化学方法的最新进展,它们被认为负责传播不同的细菌,病毒,和真菌传染病。表面消毒可以通过使用化学品来实现,基于紫外线的工艺,电离辐射(伽马射线,X射线和电子束),自消毒表面的应用,无触摸房间消毒方法,和内置设置的机器人消毒方法。不同化学品的应用,比如酒精,过氧化氢,过乙酸,季铵盐,苯酚,和碘溶液,是常见的和经济的。然而,该过程耗时且效率较低。使用UVC光(波长:200-280nm,由低蒸气汞灯或脉冲氙气灯产生的)在全球范围内对fomites进行消毒方面备受关注。最近,UV和H2O2的结合,基于高级氧化工艺的原理,已用于消毒无生命表面。该过程比化学和UV过程非常有效和更快。像铜这样的重金属,银,锌,和其他金属可以灭活微生物,并用于表面改性以产生自消毒表面,并用于医疗保健设施。与UVB(280-315nm)和UVA(315-400nm)组合,氧化钛已用于消毒污染表面。电离辐射,一种先进的方法,可用于医疗器械和药品的消毒。COVID-19大流行后,使用化学品或UVC灯的无触摸和机器人消毒方法在内置设置中已经得到了非常重要的重视。在这些方法中,与其他方法相比,文献中已广泛报道了通过雾化/蒸发和UV辐射方法施加化学物质进行的表面消毒。
