PREAMBLE TO THE DESCRIPTION
The following specification describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.
The following specification in respect of a patent of addition is sumitted in reference to the main patent application no. 202011031905, filed on 25 July 2020, title as ‘A Novel BioFilm as a Photo Catalyst Biological Protective Shieldsuper”
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a photocatalytic composition to make biofilm and process for preparation thereof. Particularly this invention relates to a photocatalytic composition to make biofilm to use for sanitization and disinfection and process for preparation thereof.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the biology, biofilm research is a dynamic field. Bale silage preserves forage crops using agricultural film, allowing wet hay baling and outdoor storage, reducing barn space needs. This airtight system enables fermentation, enhancing nutrient content by converting sugars to lactic acid. Suitable crops include grasses, clovers, alfalfa, vetches, oats, rye, and maize. Removing the film before feeding livestock is labor-intensive and hazardous if ingested. Non-biodegradable wraps often end up in landfills or are illegally burned, releasing toxic chemicals. Recycling is difficult due to contamination, and burial generates toxic leachate. There is a critical need for a functional, durable, and easily disposable biofilm.
Canada patent, publication no. CA2933770A1 discloses a bio-polymer agriculture film comprising starch, acid, glycerol, and biomass fiber. The biomass fiber component encompasses a variety of materials including corn, sugarcane bagasse, or hemp, contributing to structural reinforcement and ecological viability. The film's thickness ranges from 10 to 50 microns, ensuring requisite flexibility and durability for agricultural applications. The manufacturing protocol involves heating a mixture of starch, acid, and glycerol to form the bio-polymer, followed by the inclusion of biomass fiber and subsequent film formation. Additional thermal treatment of the biomass fiber with the bio-polymer further optimizes material properties.
Canada patent, publication no. CN108641124A discloses the biological base film of a kind of high content of biological carbon content, low-density, which is characterized in that the biology base film includes with the following group Part:Biomass polyolefin 10~80%, thermoplastic starch 10~40%, petroleum base polyolefin 0~60%, inorganic assistant 3~ 15%
Worldwide patent, publication no. WO2011140496A1 discloses biaxially oriented bio-based polyolefin films and laminates comprising a high radiocarbon content, with values of at least 53 pMC. Comprising biaxially oriented layers of bio-based polyolefin resin, the film can incorporate crystalline isotactic propylene homopolymer or bio-based ethylene homopolymer. Co-extrusion techniques facilitate the incorporation of additional layers, potentially comprising bio-based propylene or ethylene copolymers. The lamination process involves joining biaxially oriented films with bio-based low-density polyethylene adhesive
There are disadvantages associated with the conventional composition to make biofilm. One of the disadvantages is that the conventional composition comprises bio-based materials which is inefficient for sanitization and disinfection of microbes.
Another disadvantage associated with the conventional composition to make biofilm is that the improper use of bleach reduces its effectiveness in disinfection.
Yet another disadvantage associated with the conventional composition to make biofilm is that bleach irritates mucous membranes, the skin and the airways; decomposes under heat and light; and reacts easily with other chemicals.
Still another disadvantage associated with the conventional composition to make biofilm is that the conventional composition do not have a photocatalytic properties.
