The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this disclosure. In the following technical description, for ease of explanation, several details are used to provide a full understanding of the disclosed embodiments.

[0048] The term "and / or" describes an association between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or A and B.
[0049] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.
[0050] Combination Figures 1 to 4 This disclosure provides an odor remover, prepared by weight from raw materials comprising the following components: 1-2 parts thiourea, 0.002-0.005 parts lyophilized Gram bacteria powder, 0.1-0.4 parts concentrated nitric acid, and 10-25 parts water; wherein the lyophilized Gram bacteria powder includes lyophilized Gram-negative bacteria powder and / or lyophilized Gram-positive bacteria powder.
[0051] like Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment, the deodorizing agent prepared by adding Gram-derived lyophilized powder to thiourea, water, and concentrated nitric acid has a small band gap (1.96 eV), requiring little energy for electron transitions. Electrons can transition from the valence band to the conduction band under visible light, leaving an electron-hole pair in the valence band. The electron and hole (called an electron-hole pair) migrate to the material surface, participating in the redox reaction of the adsorbate and catalyzing water or oxygen in the air into highly reactive photoactive groups, such as hydroxyl radicals (HO.) and superoxide anion radicals (O.). 2- These active groups, such as formaldehyde, benzene, xylene, ammonia, and some malodorous substances, have strong oxidizing properties and can degrade various organic compounds with unstable chemical bonds, such as formaldehyde, benzene, xylene, ammonia, and some malodorous substances, into water and carbon dioxide. No harmful substances or substances with other odors are produced during the entire deodorization process, making it safe and environmentally friendly. Using this deodorizer as a 400 deodorizer for refrigeration equipment eliminates the need for ultraviolet lamps. It has a simple structure, low cost, and overcomes the limitation of traditional photocatalyst materials, such as TiO2, which can only deodorize under ultraviolet light.
[0052] In this embodiment, the Gram-derived freeze-dried powder comprises freeze-dried powder of cocci or bacilli in a three-dimensional morphology of spherical or rod-shaped organisms. Thiourea, a raw material, coats the surface of the cocci and / or bacilli. During the synthesis process, as the temperature rises, the three-dimensional morphology of the cocci and / or bacilli collapses, making the synthesized material porous and increasing its specific surface area. Furthermore, Gram-derived bacteria contain abundant S and O elements. The doping of these electron-rich elements gives the synthesized deodorizing agent a rich electronic structure; therefore, the deodorizing agent exhibits higher catalytic activity, enabling it to perform its deodorizing function under visible light.
[0053] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, Gram-dried bacteria powder was added to thiourea, water, and concentrated nitric acid to prepare a deodorizing agent in a certain proportion; the addition of Gram-dried bacteria powder reduced the band gap of the deodorizing agent.
[0054] Optionally, the lyophilized powder of Gram-negative bacteria includes lyophilized powder of Escherichia coli and / or lyophilized powder of Pseudomonas aeruginosa; the lyophilized powder of Gram-positive bacteria includes lyophilized powder of Staphylococcus aureus and / or lyophilized powder of Bacillus subtilis.
[0055] This embodiment discloses that the strains of Gram-negative or Gram-positive bacteria that can be used in the reaction process of the above embodiments can be one or more of Staphylococcus aureus lyophilized powder, Bacillus subtilis lyophilized powder, Escherichia coli lyophilized powder, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa lyophilized powder.
[0056] Optionally, the Gram-bearing lyophilized powder includes at least Staphylococcus aureus lyophilized powder.
[0057] In this embodiment, the Gram bacteria is freeze-dried Staphylococcus aureus powder. Firstly, Staphylococcus aureus is spherical in shape, and the raw material thiourea coats the surface of Staphylococcus aureus. During the synthesis process, as the temperature rises, the spherical shape of Staphylococcus aureus collapses, making the synthesized material porous and increasing its specific surface area. Secondly, Staphylococcus aureus contains abundant S and O elements. The doping of these electron-rich elements gives the synthesized deodorizer a rich electronic structure. Therefore, the deodorizer has higher catalytic activity, enabling it to exert its deodorizing performance under visible light.
[0058] Optionally, in this embodiment, the weight parts of thiourea include: 1.5 parts by weight, 2 parts by weight, 2.5 parts by weight, or 3 parts by weight; the weight parts of Gram bacteria freeze-dried powder include: 0.004 parts by weight, 0.006 parts by weight, 0.008 parts by weight, or 0.01 parts by weight; the concentrated nitric acid is commercially available concentrated nitric acid, and the weight parts of concentrated nitric acid include: 0.28 parts by weight, 0.4 parts by weight, or 0.5 parts by weight; the weight parts of water include: 15 parts by weight, 18 parts by weight, or 20 parts by weight.
[0059] In one embodiment, the deodorizing agent comprises, by weight: 1.5 parts thiourea, 0.004 parts lyophilized Gram bacteria powder, 0.28 parts concentrated nitric acid, and 20 parts water.
[0060] The deodorizing agent of this embodiment is a powdered deodorizing agent obtained by heating a mixture of thiourea, freeze-dried Gram bacteria powder, concentrated nitric acid and water to obtain a first solid, and then physically processing the first solid.
[0061] Optionally, after crushing the first solid, the powder obtained is washed until neutral, then ultrasonically treated, allowed to stand, and the supernatant is taken. The supernatant is then centrifuged at 3000-4000 rpm to remove some of the solids. The supernatant obtained from the first centrifugation is then centrifuged again to remove the solids and vacuum dried to obtain the deodorizing agent.
[0062] Optionally, the deodorizing agent is prepared according to the following proportions by weight: 1.5 parts of thiourea are dissolved in water to obtain a thiourea solution; Gram-dried Gram bacteria powder is added to the thiourea solution to obtain a first solution of thiourea and Gram bacteria; concentrated nitric acid is added to the first solution and mixed thoroughly, and then microwave heating is carried out for 3 minutes at 100W to obtain a yellowish-brown solid; the yellowish-brown solid is the initial deodorizing agent; the concentrated nitric acid plays a catalytic role in the reaction.
[0063] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the concentrated nitric acid is a nitric acid solution with a mass concentration of 65% or higher. Optionally, the concentrated nitric acid is a nitric acid solution with a mass concentration of 65% to 68%.
[0064] Optionally, the lyophilized powder of Gram-negative bacteria includes lyophilized powder of Escherichia coli and / or lyophilized powder of Pseudomonas aeruginosa; the lyophilized powder of Gram-positive bacteria includes lyophilized powder of Staphylococcus aureus and / or lyophilized powder of Bacillus subtilis.
[0065] In the deodorizing agent of this disclosure, all components are commercially available products. The Gram-containing freeze-dried powder can also be prepared in-house, and the method of preparation is not limited. For example, the method for preparing Staphylococcus aureus freeze-dried powder described later.
[0066] According to an embodiment of a second aspect of the present invention, a method for preparing a deodorizing agent is provided, comprising the following steps:
[0067] S11. Prepare thiourea, Gram-dried bacterial powder, concentrated nitric acid and water as the deodorizing agent according to any of the above embodiments.
[0068] In step S11, thiourea, Gram-dried bacteria powder, concentrated nitric acid, and water are all commercially available products. Of course, Gram-dried bacteria powder can also be made at home; there are no restrictions.
[0069] S12. Add thiourea, freeze-dried Gram bacteria powder, and concentrated nitric acid to water in sequence, mix well, and obtain a homogeneous mixture.
[0070] This step S12 specifically includes the following steps:
[0071] S121. Thiourea is dissolved in water to obtain a thiourea solution.
[0072] S122. Add Staphylococcus aureus lyophilized powder to thiourea solution to obtain the first solution.
[0073] S123. Concentrated nitric acid is added to the first solution and mixed to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Concentrated nitric acid acts as a catalyst.
[0074] S13. The mixture is heated by microwave to obtain the first solid.
[0075] S14. The first solid is physically crushed to obtain a powder, and then the powder is washed with ultrapure water until the washing mixture is neutral to obtain a neutral substance.
[0076] S15. The neutral substance is filtered to obtain a second solid substance; the second solid substance is heated and dried under vacuum to obtain a dried substance.
[0077] S16. Add the dried material to deionized water, sonicate for 12-24 hours, and then let it stand to obtain the first supernatant; wherein the weight ratio of the dried material to the deionized water is 1:0.8-1.5.
[0078] S17. Centrifuge the first supernatant at a first speed of 3000-4000 rpm, discard the solid to obtain the second supernatant.
[0079] S18. Centrifuge the second supernatant at the second rotation speed, discard the supernatant to obtain the third solid.
[0080] S19. Vacuum freeze-dry the third solid for 12-24 hours to obtain the deodorizer.
[0081] The second rotational speed is greater than the first rotational speed.
[0082] In the method for preparing the deodorizing agent according to the embodiments of this disclosure,
[0083] Optionally, in step S13, microwave heating includes heating the reaction at 80-120W for 2-5 minutes.
[0084] Optionally, in step S13, microwave heating includes heating the reaction at 100W for 3 minutes.
[0085] The first solid obtained in step S13 is yellowish-brown and in lumps. Therefore, in step S14, it undergoes appropriate physical processing to obtain a powder. The physical processing method in step S14 is not limited, as long as it can process the lumpy first solid into powder. Furthermore, the particle size of the powder is not limited and is determined according to actual needs.
[0086] Optionally, in step S14, the physical crushing process includes grinding. Specifically, the first solid is placed in a grinding bowl and ground into powder; wherein, the grinding bowl is an agate grinding bowl. In this embodiment, the first solid is ground in an agate grinding bowl. Since the agate grinding bowl is free of impurities, has high pressure resistance, and is resistant to acids and alkalis, no mortar material will be mixed into the ground material after grinding, ensuring that the composition of the first solid is not affected; grinding the first solid to a fine consistency reduces the volume of solid particles, thereby increasing the deodorizing effect of the deodorizing agent.
[0087] In step S14, the ultrapure water has a low impurity content and does not contain strong dielectrics. Using ultrapure water to wash the powder can maximize the protection of the material performance.
[0088] Optionally, in step S14, the powder is washed with ultrapure water until the washing mixture is neutral to obtain a neutral substance. Alternatively, the powder is washed with water until the washing mixture is neutral to obtain a first neutral substance, and then the first neutral substance is washed with anhydrous ethanol to remove organic byproducts to obtain a neutral substance.
[0089] Optionally, in step S15, the heating temperature for vacuum heating drying is 50℃-70℃. Optionally, the heating temperature is 60℃.
[0090] In step S15, the heating time for vacuum drying is not limited and can be determined based on the desired dried product. Optionally, the heating time is 6-8 hours. Optionally, the heating time is 6 hours.
[0091] Optionally, in step S16, the deionized water has a low impurity content and does not contain strong dielectrics. Soaking the dried material in deionized water for ultrasonic treatment can maximize the protection of material performance. The dried material is placed in deionized water and then ultrasonically peeled in an ultrasonic cleaner for 12-24 hours. Optionally, the ultrasonic peeling time is 24 hours. Then, it is allowed to stand, and large particles are precipitated to obtain the first supernatant; optionally, the standing time is 1 hour.
[0092] In step S16, ultrasonic peeling breaks down large-sized blocky nanomaterials in the dried material into smaller sheet-like nanomaterials to increase the specific surface area of the nanomaterials. This helps the deodorizer come into contact with more odors during use, thereby improving the deodorizing effect.
[0093] Optionally, in step S17, the first rotational speed is 3000 rpm.
[0094] Optionally, in step S17, the centrifugation time is 5 minutes.
[0095] Optionally, in step S18, the second rotational speed is 9000 to 12000 rpm.
[0096] Optionally, in step S18, the second rotational speed is 10000 rpm.
[0097] Optionally, in step S18, the centrifugation time is 2 to 5 minutes.
[0098] Optionally, in step S18, the centrifugation time is 5 minutes.
[0099] In steps S17-S18, centrifugation is performed at different speeds and different centrifugal forces to filter out useless components in sequence, resulting in a deodorizing agent with higher purity. Specifically, centrifugation at the first speed discards large solids and obtains small solids. Centrifugation at the second speed precipitates the small solids in the supernatant obtained from centrifugation at the first speed, resulting in a third solid of small solid nanomaterials.
[0100] In step S19, the third solid vacuum freeze-drying process is not limited, and can be determined based on the amount of dried product obtained. Optionally, the vacuum freeze-drying time is 12–14 hours. Optionally, the vacuum freeze-drying time is 12 hours.
[0101] Optionally, in step S11, the Gram-derived bacterial lyophilized powder includes at least Staphylococcus aureus lyophilized powder, wherein the preparation method of the Staphylococcus aureus lyophilized powder includes the following steps:
[0102] S21. Take the Staphylococcus aureus mother liquor into broth medium to obtain the first bacterial culture.
[0103] S22. Shake the first bacterial solution at 37-38℃ to obtain a well-mixed bacterial solution.
[0104] S23. Centrifuge the shaken bacterial solution at the third rotation speed for 2-5 minutes, discard the culture medium, and obtain the second bacterial solution.
[0105] S24. The second bacterial solution is repeatedly washed with ultrapure water until no culture medium residue is left to obtain the fourth solid.
[0106] S25. The fourth solid is freeze-dried under vacuum for 12-24 hours to obtain Staphylococcus aureus freeze-dried powder.
[0107] Optionally, in step S21, the concentration of the Staphylococcus aureus mother liquor is 10. 9 CFU / mL.
[0108] Optionally, in step S21, 0.1-0.2 parts by weight of Staphylococcus aureus mother liquor are taken into 20-30 parts of broth culture medium to obtain the first bacterial solution.

[0110] Optionally, in step S22, the first bacterial solution is shaken at 37°C for 6-8 hours.
[0111] Optionally, in step S23, the third rotational speed is 4000-6000 rpm.
[0112] Optionally, in step S23, the third rotation speed is 6000 rpm and the centrifugation time is 5 min.
[0113] In step S24, repeatedly washing the second bacterial solution with ultrapure water can maximize the purity of the second bacterial solution and reduce the number of impurities entering the second bacterial solution.
[0114] Optionally, in step S25, the fourth solid is vacuum freeze-dried for 12 hours.
[0115] The following specific embodiments further illustrate the deodorizing agent and its preparation method according to the present disclosure.
[0116] Example 1: Preparation method of Staphylococcus aureus freeze-dried powder
[0117] A method for preparing Staphylococcus aureus freeze-dried powder includes the following steps:
[0118] Take 0.1 to 0.2 parts by weight to achieve a concentration of 10. 9 A CFU / mL stock solution of Staphylococcus aureus was placed in a broth culture medium. The broth culture medium was prepared by weighing 1 part by weight of peptone, 0.3 parts by weight of beef extract, 0.5 parts by weight of sodium chloride, and 100 parts by weight of ultrapure water, stirring until dissolved to obtain the first culture medium, and then autoclaving the first culture medium to obtain the broth culture medium; a concentration of 10 9A CFU / mL stock solution of Staphylococcus aureus was cultured in broth medium at 37°C with shaking for 6-8 hours to allow the Staphylococcus aureus to multiply and expand, resulting in a well-mixed bacterial solution. The well-mixed bacterial solution was then centrifuged at a third rotation speed of 6000 rpm for 2-5 minutes, discarding the culture medium to obtain a second bacterial solution. Centrifugation at 6000 rpm for 2-5 minutes, preferably 5 minutes, allows for better removal of the culture medium and reduces impurities in the second bacterial solution. The second bacterial solution was washed with ultrapure water to obtain a solution as free of impurities as possible. Solid-liquid separation was performed, including filtration, to obtain a fourth solid. The fourth solid was then dried in a vacuum freeze dryer for 12 hours to obtain lyophilized Staphylococcus aureus powder.
[0119] In this embodiment, the concentration of the Staphylococcus aureus mother liquor is 10. 9 CFU / mL.
[0120] In this embodiment, the preparation of a specific concentration of Staphylococcus aureus includes the following steps: selecting 0.1 parts by weight of Staphylococcus aureus mother liquor with a concentration of 10... 9 The broth, containing CFU / mL, is placed in a broth culture medium prepared to a specific ratio. Temperature and shaking are set for a set time to cultivate a specific number of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Different numbers of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria result in different deodorizing agent properties. The broth culture medium is prepared by weighing 1 part peptone, 0.3 parts beef extract, and 0.5 parts sodium chloride into a beaker, adding 100 parts ultrapure water, and stirring until dissolved. The required volume of broth culture medium is prepared according to this ratio and sterilized in an autoclave. 0.1 parts by weight of Staphylococcus aureus stock solution is placed in 25 parts by weight of broth culture medium and cultured at 37°C with shaking for 6-8 hours. The resulting Staphylococcus aureus bacterial count is the desired bacterial count.

[0133] S34. Collect the first solid material, and physically crush the collected first solid material, including grinding the first solid material thoroughly in an agate mortar to obtain a powder.

[0134] S35. The neutral substance is filtered to obtain a second solid substance; the second solid substance is placed in a vacuum drying oven at 60°C and heated and vacuum dried for 6 hours to obtain a dried substance.
[0135] S36. Collect 200mg of dried material and place it in a 250mL Erlenmeyer flask. Add 200mL of deionized water.

[0139] Figure 3 This is a comparison of the UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra of deodorizing agent a and deodorizing agent b under the same preparation method as in Example 3; wherein, deodorizing agent a is a deodorizing agent prepared using thiourea, water, concentrated nitric acid, and freeze-dried Staphylococcus aureus powder, and deodorizing agent b is a deodorizing agent prepared using thiourea, water, and concentrated nitric acid (i.e., the addition of freeze-dried Staphylococcus aureus powder is omitted in steps S31 and S32, and the remaining steps S33 to S29 are the same); Figure 3 It is evident that the light absorption of deodorant b, which is synthesized without the addition of Staphylococcus aureus, is concentrated in the ultraviolet region, with the edge of the absorption band around 450nm. In contrast, deodorant a, which is synthesized with the addition of Staphylococcus aureus, not only has strong absorption in the ultraviolet region but also has a certain absorption in the visible light region, with the edge of the absorption band red-shifted to around 700nm, greatly improving the utilization rate of visible light.
[0140] like Figure 4 As shown, according to the Kubelka-Munk formula: α = A(hν - Eg) n / 2 / hν, where α is the absorption coefficient; A is a constant; h is Planck's constant; ν is the frequency of the incident light; Eg is the band structure; for dipole transitions allowed in direct bandgap semiconductors, n=1(αhν). 2 The intercept of the tangent line on the photon energy curve on the horizontal axis reveals that the band gap of the deodorizer in this application is 1.96 eV, which is much lower than the 3.2 eV of TiO2. The wide light absorption range and narrow band gap indicate that this deodorizer has a unique electronic structure, better visible light absorption performance, and good catalytic performance.

[0163] The following test uses the deodorizing component of Example 4, in which the deodorizing agent used is the same as that of Example 2, to demonstrate its deodorizing performance. For comparison, a standard deodorizing agent without the addition of Gram-dried bacterial powder was prepared.
[0164] The raw materials for the common deodorizer include the following components: 1-3 parts of thiourea, 0.1-0.5 parts of concentrated nitric acid and 15-20 parts of water.

Each gas was tested multiple times, and data were collected. The deodorization rate was calculated as [(initial gas concentration - final gas concentration) / initial gas concentration] × 100%. The test results are shown in Table 1. Table 1 shows that the deodorizing agent based on this application has a better deodorization effect, with a deodorization rate of over 90%; ordinary deodorizing agents have a generally lower deodorization effect, with a deodorization rate below 20%.
