PRODUCTION OF ANTISEPTIC LIQUID [BESTPOZAL]

ABSTRACT
Disinfectants are antimicrobial agents that are applied to non-living objects to
destroy micro-organisms that are living on the object. They are different from other
antimicrobial agents like antibiotics which destroys micro-organisms within the
body and antiseptics, which destroys micro-organisms on living tissues. The
production of disinfectant involves the following active ingredience; methanol, pine
oil, carbolic acid, chloroxynol, texapon and colourant. In this project work, 5 litres
of methanol was used, with 1 litre of pine oil, 100g texapon was added, 240ml of
carbolic acid and 200ml of chloroxynol and 30ml of colourant were properly mixed
for the production of this disinfectant. However, this project work is targeted on the
cheap and easiest means of producing quality disinfectant for the control of microbes
in our environment, and to help mitigate the problems of unemployment thereby
making the young school leavers self –reliant.
