<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for sterilization via consubstantial air flow friction, by which an object can be crushed without depending on physical crush using a hard material such as metal, and the object can be sterilized without heating. <P>SOLUTION: The method for sterilization via consubstantial air flow friction comprises an air flow friction process where a motor 16 is driven to rotate a pair of rotors 14 in a reverse direction so as to generate air flow in a crushing chamber 11, and the generated air flow makes objects put through an input pipe 12 collide with each other to pulverize the objects. In the process, the cells of the objects are pulverized with impact force or frictional force caused when the objects collide with each other. Live bacteria attached to the objects repeatedly collide in combination with the objects so that the live bacteria themselves are injured or crushed to become inviable, and thereby the objects are sterilized through such a process. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
