A system and method for sanitizing or cleaning an item, such as a grocery store shopping cart or a child stroller, for re-use utilizes a passageway having an entrance and an exit and a sanitizing or cleaning station between the entrance and exit. The item is conveyed through the passageway into the station, and pulsating beams of ultraviolet (UV) light are directed toward the item to sanitize the surfaces of the item which are struck by the pulsating beams of light. The system can be supplemented with an arrangement for directing water toward the item for rinsing purposes and for subsequently directing air toward the item for drying purposes. Moreover, the rinse water can be collected and sanitized after it has been directed toward the item during a rinsing operation for subsequent re-use.

Toilet assemblies having various embodiments of a cleaning system are described herein which include a toilet assembly and a cleaning system. The toilet assembly has a toilet bowl, a tank, a flush valve, and a rim in fluid communication with the bowl through a rim flow path from an outlet of the flush valve to at least one rim outlet port. The flush valve is configured to operate in a flush actuation mode wherein the flush valve is able to provide flush water flow sufficient for the toilet assembly to initiate a flush siphon or provide a wash down flush and to operate in a cleaning actuation mode wherein the flush valve is only partially opened to allow for introduction of a cleaning agent and flush water mixture to the bowl that is insufficient to initiate a siphon but sufficient for cleaning the bowl. The cleaning system includes a reservoir for a liquid cleaning agent, a housing for the reservoir, a supply conduit for receiving fluid from within the reservoir and delivering it to a flush valve, a flow control device capable of controlling flow of cleaning agent and a control system activatable by an actuator feature to initiate a clean cycle by operating the flow control device to deliver a dose of cleaning agent to one or more rim outlets, and operating the flush valve in cleaning actuation mode to introduce flush water to carry the dose of cleaning agent through the at least one rim outlet port into the toilet bowl at a flow rate insufficient to initiate a siphon but sufficient for cleaning the bowl.

The invention relates to a method and a device for removing fine particles in high-humidity gas fume. The high-humidity gas fume enters a gas fume pipe; saturated steam under normal pressure is injected into the gas fume pipe and is premixed with the high-humidity gas fume; the high-humidity gas fume and the saturated steam under normal pressure enters a bombarding current phase change chamber main body and bombard each other so as to form a highly-turbulent bombardment area with highest concentration of fine particles in the center of the bombarding current phase change chamber main body and promote the saturated steam to be condensed on the surfaces of the fine particles; meanwhile, the fine particles of which the surfaces are condensed with water films collide each other to be coagulated to ensure that the granularity of the fine particles is increased further; and the coagulated and grown fine particles are removed by an efficient demister arranged at the gas fume outlet at the upper end of the bombarding current phase change chamber main body. The device consists of the gas fume pipe, the bombarding current phase change chamber main body, the efficient demister, a demister washing water system, and a washing waste liquor storage tank; a vapor nozzle is arranged in the gas fume pipe; and the efficient demister is arranged at the gas fume outlet at the upper end of the bombarding current phase change chamber main body.
