本発明は、生活空間内の備品や日用品に付着、繁殖する細菌やカビ等の微生物を、何度も繰り返し抗菌スプレーを使用するなどの手間をかけることなく、長期間に亘って備品や日用品に抗菌活性を付与し得る抗菌剤を提供することを課題とする。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】

3,324 g of titanium oxysulfate (trade name: TM crystal, appearance: white solid, manufactured by Teica) was dissolved in 2,216 g of ion-exchanged water to prepare an aqueous solution of titanium oxysulfate. Under ice cooling, 1503 g of 31% aqueous hydrogen peroxide was added to the above aqueous solution of titanium oxysulfate to obtain a red-purple mixed solution. Ion-exchanged water is supplied to a reaction vessel equipped with an electrode and a pH controller connected to the pH electrode and having a mechanism for supplying 25% by weight ammonia water (special grade reagent, manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) and adjusting the pH to a constant value. 4700 g were charged. The pH setting of the pH controller was set to 4. The speed at which the aqueous ammonia was supplied was set at 50 ml / min. In this reaction vessel, when the pH of the liquid in the vessel becomes lower than the set value, the ammonia water starts to be supplied and is continuously supplied at the above-mentioned rate until the pH reaches the set value. While stirring the content at 158 rpm, the mixed solution obtained above was added to the reaction vessel at 50 ml / min, and reacted with aqueous ammonia supplied to the reaction vessel by a pH controller. The reaction temperature at this time was in the range of 25 ° C to 55 ° C. The obtained product was held for 1 hour while stirring, and then 25% by weight aqueous ammonia (special grade reagent, manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries) was supplied to obtain a slurry. The total amount of aqueous ammonia supplied to the reaction vessel was 3,684 g, twice the amount required to convert titanium oxysulfate to titanium hydroxide. The above slurry was filtered, and the obtained solid was washed with ion-exchanged water and dried in air at 150 ° C. for 17 hours to obtain a titanium oxide precursor powder. This titanium oxide precursor powder was fired in air at 370 ° C. for 1 hour, and then cooled to room temperature to obtain a titanium oxide powder. The crystal phase of this titanium oxide powder was anatase.

Even if the mold spore solution collected from the glass plate of Example 1 supporting the visible light-reactive titanium oxide as shown in Table 3 above was cultured, no mold grew and the visible light-reactive titanium oxide was prevented from growing. Mold activity was observed.
