Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional deodorants, particularly those containing copper compounds, face challenges in maintaining a desirable appearance while achieving effective odor neutralization, and zinc oxide-based deodorants lack sufficient deodorizing capacity for sulfur-based and acidic gases.
Innovation Solution
A deodorant composed of crystalline zinc oxide and aluminum oxide, with a molar ratio of 40 to 80, which enhances deodorizing performance for sulfur-based and acidic gases without altering the white color, allowing for its use in various applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a copper compound deodorant is used to achieve effective odor neutralization, then the deodorizing capacity is improved, but the appearance color becomes blue which does not fit the product image
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the chemical composition parameters by replacing copper compounds with zinc oxide as the main deodorizing agent, and aluminum oxide as an additive. This parameter change maintains white color appearance while achieving effective deodorizing capacity against sulfur-based and acidic gases, resolving the contradiction between deodorizing performance and aesthetic appearance.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses a composite material system consisting of zinc oxide and aluminum oxide in a specific molar ratio (5:1 to 2:1). This composite approach combines the white color and deodorizing properties of zinc oxide with the enhancing effects of aluminum oxide, achieving both aesthetic appearance and effective deodorizing capacity without the blue coloration problem of copper compounds.
2Shape
If conventional zinc oxide deodorant is used to maintain white color appearance, then the appearance is preserved, but the deodorizing capacity for sulfur-based and acidic gases is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The invention creates a composite material system of zinc oxide and aluminum oxide where aluminum oxide acts as an additive that enhances the deodorizing capacity of zinc oxide against sulfur-based and acidic gases. This composite approach maintains the white color appearance of zinc oxide while significantly improving its deodorizing effectiveness, resolving the contradiction between appearance and performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention modifies the compositional parameters by introducing aluminum oxide at controlled amounts (molar ratio of ZnO/Al2O3 between 5:1 and 2:1). This parameter modification enhances the chemical adsorption capability of the zinc oxide base material against specific odorous gases while preserving the desirable white color appearance.
3Reliability
If aluminum oxide is added to zinc oxide to enhance deodorizing capacity, then the deodorizing effect is improved, but the complexity of composition increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention controls the compositional parameters by limiting aluminum oxide content to a specific molar ratio range (ZnO/Al2O3 = 5:1 to 2:1). This controlled parameter approach enhances deodorizing capacity while maintaining relatively simple composition and processing, avoiding excessive complexity in material formulation and manufacturing.
