Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an environmental protection solution, and more particularly to an environmental protection solution having a cleaning effect and the use of said environmental protection solution as a biocide. [Background technology]

[0002] The most important threats to agricultural crops are natural disasters and insect damage. Traditionally, agricultural pest control has involved spraying pesticides on crops to eliminate them. Even after spraying, pesticides can remain on the surface of crops or in the soil. If the crops are not cleaned properly before consumption, or if they are recycled through the food chain, they can enter the human body or the environment. Because the majority of traditional pesticides are manufactured using chemicals, they may contain ingredients harmful to the human body or the environment. Therefore, the average person may gradually accumulate pesticide residues through their diet, which can adversely affect human health over time. Pesticide residues also contaminate the environment.

[0003] In recent years, governments around the world have been actively promoting the use of organic pesticides. Take Kwai Mu Ro (a commonly used emulsified oil agent made from non-pesticide ingredients in Taiwan) for example. Kwai Mu Ro is a mixed solution of salad oil and Salt (a brand of detergent), and its main ingredients are biodegradable and relatively harmless to humans and the environment. However, Kwai Mu Ro is only effective at eliminating insects, and after mixing its main ingredients into the mixed solution, the components often separate after a certain period of time (approximately one to several days), which can be a hassle for users of Kwai Mu Ro.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the above problems and develop an environmental protection solution that can eliminate pests and other organisms and also provide cleaning effects is a topic worthy of research. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an environmentally friendly solution that has cleaning effects. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an environmental protection solution that can be applied to the surface of an object to produce a cleaning effect. The environmental protection solution is formed by mixing multiple components, including oil that accounts for 73-83% by weight, sodium benzoate that accounts for 0.1-2.5% by weight, surfactants that account for 10-20% by weight, silicon dioxide that accounts for 0.4-10% by weight, and aluminum oxide that accounts for 0.1-3% by weight.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, the surfactant comprises a hydroxyl compound, and the hydroxyl compound accounts for 7 to 20% by weight of the total surfactant.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of ingredients further comprises at least one of flour, sugar, and eggs.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the oil is a vegetable oil.

[0010] The present invention also provides an environmental protection solution that can be applied to the surface of an object to produce a cleaning effect, and that contains multiple ingredients and water. The multiple ingredients include oil, which accounts for 73-83% by weight; sodium benzoate, which accounts for 0.1-2.5% by weight; surfactants, which accounts for 10-20% by weight; silicon dioxide, which accounts for 0.4-10% by weight; and aluminum oxide, which accounts for 0.1-3% by weight. The multiple ingredients are diluted with water in a ratio of X:1, where X is between 200 and 800.

[0011] The present invention also provides an environmental protection solution as described above for use as a biocide or for removing plant fouling from objects. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the components of the environmental protection solution of the present invention are mostly made of environmentally non-toxic and degradable materials, which greatly reduces pollution and other impacts on the environment. The environmental protection solution of the present invention can be kept in a mixed solution state for a long time, and by simply adding water to dilute it, a solution with effective cleaning effect can be produced in large quantities, and it can also be used as a biocide, which increases the convenience, safety, and cost of use. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The environmental protection solution of the present invention produces a cleaning effect when applied to the surface of an object. The environmental protection solution of the present invention is formed by mixing multiple components, including oil, sodium benzoate, a surfactant, silicon dioxide (SiO2), and aluminum oxide (Al2O3). Among the multiple components, oil is the most important component, accounting for 73-83% of the total weight of the environmental protection solution of the present invention. The oil itself is viscous, so it easily adheres to and remains on the surface of an object. In one embodiment of the present invention, the oil is a vegetable oil, such as soybean salad oil, olive oil, or sunflower oil, which is natural and less likely to pollute the environment.

[0014] Sodium benzoate accounts for 0.1 to 2.5% by weight of the total environmental protection solution of the present invention. Sodium benzoate is primarily used as a preservative to prevent deterioration and spoilage of the oil. In addition, sodium benzoate also has bactericidal and antibacterial effects. While sodium benzoate is generally classified as an artificially synthesized substance, it can be naturally produced through some plants (e.g., berries), and small amounts of sodium benzoate are completely harmless to the human body.

[0015] The surfactant accounts for 10-20% of the total weight of the environmental protection solution of the present invention. The surfactant facilitates mixing of the sodium benzoate and natural mineral ingredients (described in detail below). In one embodiment of the present invention, the surfactant may include salat, vegetable palm oil, soapberry oil, or other natural ingredients, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In another embodiment of the present invention, the surfactant includes a hydroxy acid composition, such as water, and the hydroxy acid composition accounts for 7-20% of the total weight of the environmental protection solution of the present invention. That is, the surfactant may be entirely a hydroxy acid composition, or may be partially a combination of a hydroxy acid composition and other ingredients.

[0016] Silicon dioxide accounts for 0.4-10% of the total weight of the environmental protection solution of the present invention. Silicon dioxide is a component of natural mineral powder, and its main function is to promote the dissolution of oils and fats and increase the adsorption area for microparticles.

[0017] Aluminum oxide accounts for 0.1-3% of the total weight of the environmental protection solution of the present invention. Aluminum oxide is a component of natural mineral powder, and its main function is to promote the dissolution of oils and fats and increase the adsorption area for adsorbing microparticles.

[0018] In another embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of ingredients further includes at least one of flour, sugar, and eggs. Flour, sugar, and eggs are all food ingredients that can emit corresponding odors. When added to the environmental protection solution of the present invention, at least one of flour, sugar, and eggs can act as an inducer to attract and induce organisms to approach.

[0019] The environmental protection solution of the present invention can be prepared by simply mixing the components together, causing an emulsification reaction between the components to form a viscous solution. The environmental protection solution of the present invention can be prepared and used immediately, and even after a relatively long period of storage after preparation, the components remain mixed and do not separate, making it more convenient to prepare and use than conventional organic pesticides. Furthermore, the environmental protection solution of the present invention can be applied to the surface of an object by spraying, painting, dipping, etc.

[0020] In another embodiment of the present invention, the environmental protection solution of the present invention further comprises water in addition to the above-mentioned components. After mixing and emulsifying, the above-mentioned components form a viscous solution with a relatively high concentration, so that after dilution with water, a large amount of the environmental protection solution can be produced and still have a significant cleaning and sterilizing effect. In this embodiment, the added water is diluted with the above-mentioned components at a ratio of X:1, where X is between 200 and 800.

[0021] The principle of use of the environmental protection solution of the present invention is explained below. The environmental protection solution of the present invention can be applied to the surface of an object either before or after dilution with water. The viscous properties of the environmental protection solution allow it to adhere to the surface of the object and form a barrier film. This barrier film contains a large amount of oil components, which can effectively block contact between air and the surface of the object, forming an airtight space between the surface of the object and the barrier film. Therefore, if organisms such as insects or mosses are present on the surface of the object, the barrier film formed by applying the environmental protection solution of the present invention can effectively block their oxygen source and, after leaving it for a certain period of time, can effectively achieve a cleaning effect on the surface of the object.

[0022] The present invention further includes the use of the environmental protection solution as a biocide. As mentioned above, the environmental protection solution of the present invention can form a barrier film after being applied to the surface of an object. Therefore, if the object contains harmful or undesirable organisms, the barrier film formed can effectively block the organisms' respiratory pathways, thereby eliminating the organisms. For example, the respiratory organs of common insects are located in the abdomen or legs of the insect's body. The ingredients of the environmental protection solution of the present invention, including food ingredients, can first attract insects to approach and contact them. When the insect's abdomen or legs come into contact with the environmental protection solution of the present invention over a large area, the barrier layer can be formed on the insect's abdomen or legs, further blocking the organisms' respiratory pathways and achieving the effect of eliminating the insects. In addition, the silicon dioxide and / or aluminum oxide contained in the environmental protection solution of the present invention can also destroy the soft tissues of the insect's body. Therefore, the environmental protection solution of the present invention can be effectively used to prevent and treat pests and diseases of agricultural crops, and is particularly effective in preventing and treating small insects such as Taiwan midges (Culicoides), aphids, whiteflies, red mites, thrips, cabbage white butterfly larvae, etc. Of course, when the environmental protection solution of the present invention is used as a biocide, its targets are not limited to insects, but can also include mold, bryophytes, snails, gastropods, and other organisms.

[0023] The present invention further includes the use of the environmental protection solution to remove plants from objects. As described above, when bryophytes or other similar plants are present on the surface of an object (e.g., a wall or the ground), the barrier membrane formed by the application of the environmental protection solution of the present invention blocks contact between the bryophytes and the external environment and further blocks the bryophytes' oxygen source, causing them to die naturally. This allows the environmental protection solution of the present invention to effectively remove plants from the surface of an object.
