Innovative Applications of TCCA Oxidation Technology Across Industries
Trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA), as a highly efficient and stable oxidizing disinfectant, is transforming traditional disinfection methods globally. From wastewater treatment to the food industry, from healthcare to warehousing and logistics, TCCA technology is addressing environmental and health challenges across multiple dimensions.
| Application Area | Technology | Key Effects | Efficiency Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration | TCCA + Diatomite Submersible Module | Water quality improved from Class V to Class III | Organic pollutant removal rate 88% |
| Food Industry Disinfection | Dry Fog Oxidation Technology | Low-Temperature Sterilization (35°C) | Total bacterial count reduced by 94% |
| Medical Environment Purification | Nanocatalytic Mesh | Comprehensive Gas-Phase Disinfection | Respiratory Health 63% reduction in contamination rate |
| Storage mold prevention | Oxidation crystal moisture-proof mat | Inhibit mold spores | Coffee bean mold rate reduced from 25% to 4% |
| Emergency water supply | Disinfectant tablets | Rapid purification of turbid water | Reaching drinking water standards in 45 minutes |
At a wastewater treatment plant in the Port of Hamburg, Germany, engineers have developed an innovative TCCA application solution. By combining TCCA with diatomaceous earth to create submersible modules, continuous water purification is achieved.
Monitoring data shows that this technology achieves an 88% removal rate of organic pollutants in the water and a 52% reduction in total phosphorus content. Project leader Anna explained, “The strong oxidizing properties of this compound decompose algal toxins, while the porous structure of diatomaceous earth adsorbs fine particles.”
This technology has improved the water quality in the port area from below Class V to Class III, and trout, which had not been seen for many years, have reappeared, while avoiding the side effects of traditional chemicals on aquatic organisms.
A Swiss cheese factory uses dry fog oxidation technology with a modified oxidation formula for sterilization. Micron-sized droplets penetrate the tiny crevices of cheese molds, effectively eliminating Listeria monocytogenes.
Technical Director Mark stated, “Traditional high-temperature sterilization affects cheese flavor, while this low-temperature technology achieves the same effect at 35°C. The treated cheese retains 18% more key flavor compounds (such as propionic acid), while the total bacterial count is reduced by 94%.”
Industry data shows that this technology extends the shelf life of cheese by an average of 20 days and reduces the rate of microbial contamination by 85%.
A Tokyo infectious disease hospital has installed a nano-catalytic mesh containing oxidizing components in its ward air handling system. When air flows through it, the oxidizing free radicals released by the mesh inactivate the influenza virus within 10 seconds, reducing the concentration of pathogens in the ward air by 92%.
Infection control expert Yuki points out: “Traditional disinfection methods have blind spots, while gas-phase oxidation has no blind spots. After adopting this system, the hospital’s respiratory infection rate decreased by 63%, equivalent to preventing 300 cases of nosocomial infections annually.”
The innovation lies in the fact that the activity of the catalytic mesh adjusts with humidity, automatically enhancing disinfection efficiency during dry seasons.
Brazilian coffee bean warehouses use moisture-proof mats embedded with oxidizing crystals. The slowly released oxidizing gases from these crystals maintain the mold spore concentration below 80 CFU/m³.
Warehouse manager Carlos pointed to the quality inspection report and said, “During the rainy season, the mold rate of coffee beans reached 25%. After adopting this anti-mold solution, the mold rate dropped to 4%, and the antioxidant compounds (such as caffeine) in the coffee beans remained stable.” A survey by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations shows that this technology can reduce food spoilage losses in tropical regions by approximately 1.5 million tons annually. 5. Safeguarding Emergency Water Supply In the 2023 earthquake relief efforts in Turkey, oxidizing disinfectant tablets became a core resource for temporary water supply. Rescue workers added tablets to reservoirs at a ratio of 0.5g/100L, and the turbid surface water reached drinking water standards within 45 minutes. WHO expert Ahmet stated, “In disaster areas without electricity, this compound is the first choice due to its stability and high efficiency. It not only kills pathogens such as Salmonella typhi but also removes odors from the water, ensuring the drinking water safety of 100,000 affected people.”
TCCA oxidation technology is redefining disinfection standards globally, providing precise, efficient, and environmentally friendly solutions for various industries. With further research and expanded application scenarios, this technology is expected to play a significant role in more fields.
