Ozonation and Microwave Treatments as New Pest Management Methods for Grain Crop Cleaning and Disinfection
Journal Title: Annual Research & Review in Biology - Year 2017, Vol 20, Issue 5
Abstract
This article shows how high-intensity electric fields are effective in grain disinfection and cleaning. The use of high-intensity electric fields for influencing biological matters opens the prospect for the use of electro-technology in biotechnology, agro-industrial production, medicine and other branches of the national economy. The authors found that the efficiency of disinfection is determined by the duration, intensity and sequence of external physical influences. The parameters were identified, whose effects are destructive for insect cells and safe for grain cells. The longer the exposure time, the effectiveness of disinfection is greater. A 100% lethal effect of all types of insects occurred already at 30 seconds, which indicates a 25% microwave exposure time reduction. In addition, the study shows the function of changes in separation angles of grain from the surface of the crown type electric separator drum, thereby confirming the possibility of implementing electro-technologies in cleaning.
