Abstract
A device provides a sanitizing gas, a sanitizing liquid, or both. The device includes a first liquid chemical component, a first container for housing the first liquid chemical component, a second liquid chemical component, a reaction chamber, and a first wicked conduit between the first container and the reaction chamber. The first liquid chemical component is a chlorite and the second liquid chemical component is an acid. The first and second liquid chemical components are brought into contact in the reaction chamber to produce the sanitizing gas, the sanitizing liquid, or both. The first wicked conduit transports the first liquid chemical component from the first container to the reaction chamber.

3. A device for producing controlled quantities of a sanitizing and.deliming composition in a liquid form, in a gaseous form, or both, the device comprising:
-
(a) a liquid component comprising a metal halite;
(b) a first container for holding the liquid component, wherein the first container is equipped with a first wick;
(c) an acidic component; and
(d) a reservoir having at least one opening, wherein the acidic component is housed in the reservoir;
(e) wherein the liquid component is transported from the first container to the reservoir through a capillary action of the first wick, and upon contact with the acidic component, reacts to produce the sanitizing and deliming composition in liquid or gaseous form. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
