Ming Chung:史丹佛也在蒸口罩?20200511


之前一堆人罵電鍋蒸口罩,連新加坡總理夫人都拿來嘲笑。結果?史丹佛研究表示,只要用75度熱度連續三十分鐘,都可以殺死武漢病毒,口罩也可以再使用,而且濾毒狀況不受影響。這根本就是電鍋蒸口罩翻版,只是他們用烤的,弄了一個專門的烤箱來用。

報導還寫,只要一個可以連續均勻加熱的鍋子都可以,不一定要某煮特殊儀器。這根本打臉之前大罵特罵蒸口罩不專業的人。

而且這研究還跟諾貝爾物理學獎得主Steven Chu 相關。

The team’s research, based on experiments on a type of fabric commonly used in respirators and industrial-grade respirators, found that a 30-minute exposure to 75 °C could be used up to 20 times to disinfect N95 respirators without a loss of filtration efficiency and mechanical deformation.

These findings could be game-changing for both hospitals and individuals due to the method’s ease of use, said materials science and engineering professor Yi Cui, who led the research at 4C Air along with physics and molecular biology professor Steven Chu.

“It’s easy to generate heat with a reasonable uniformity, whether it’s in a convection oven or something else,” Cui said.
