Abstract

The world is countering an unexpected wide spread of Covid-19 virus. Among the procedures used to prevent spreading the virus are classical and modern sterilization methods. In this paper, we combine the use of ultraviolet emissions, as a modern method, with the infrared emissions that generates high temperature, as a classical method, to design and implement a sterilization oven. Ultraviolet emissions have the ability to destroy the RNA of the virus while the infrared emissions destroy the virus membrane. Test was performed on indicators contains +ve gram rod bacteria which is stronger than the Covid-19 virus in high temperature and UV emission tolerant. Results showed that the UV emissions killed the microorganism in 15 minutes. However, combination between the UV and IR emissions in a sterilization oven succeeded to kill the under test microorganism in five minutes. The combination between the two sources of emission guarantees an effective sterilization process against bacteria, fungus, and viruses. Moreover, it speeds up the sterilization process time.

Highlights

  • The worldwide nowadays is countering a contemporary disaster by all accounts which is the spread of Corona virus, known as Covid-19 virus

  • The sterilization process was tested using Browne biological indicator produced by JST medical

  • Biological indicators contains highly resistant bacterial spores that if it is destroyed, it is assumed that any other organisms has been killed [16]

Summary

Introduction

The worldwide nowadays is countering a contemporary disaster by all accounts which is the spread of Corona virus, known as Covid-19 virus. The first case of Corona virus was reported in 1960. Since this time, infected cases were mostly designated as cold flu. The first appearance of Covid-19 virus was reported in Wuhan market, China on the 7th of January 2020 [1]. The symptoms were more serious and the world started to take serious actions to prevent spreading the virus. Scientists started studying the spread of the virus using statistical analysis tools to estimate the spread histogram trying to predict the spread peaks of the pandemic for each country. A correlation between human mobility and spreading the virus, it was difficult to predict the future spread parameters for the presented models [2]. Humanity must move forward to prevent spreading the virus by all available methods
