At the end of 2019, what left a deep impression on all Chinese people was not the joy of welcoming the New Year, but the shocking news that Wuhan chose to lock down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This made many people feel anxious and fearful, and they sought ways to prevent COVID-19. Fortunately, the wisdom of a great nation cannot be underestimated. With the joint efforts of the Chinese people, racing against time, the epidemic was brought under control in just over a month, truly embodying China's strength. In this process, many high-tech enterprises in China leveraged their advantages and provided reliable support for public health protection through technological innovation. Jiangxi Huanshenggu Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'Huanshenggu') is one of them.

Huanxinggu Company originated in Ganzhou, a renowned historical and cultural city in China. Currently, its production bases are distributed across Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, and Shandong. It is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the research, development, production, and sales of new antibacterial and antiviral materials, as well as health and wellness home products. After more than a decade of technological exploration and resource accumulation, it has formed a full industrial chain model integrating natural mineral collection, selection, deep processing and refinement, and consumer product development. Especially in the field of functional new material research and development, it possesses unique advantages. In response to the current COVID-19 pandemic, it has developed multiple antiviral new materials and air purification systems, making outstanding contributions to epidemic prevention and control.

Pioneering and innovating, safeguarding health scientifically. According to the World Health Organization, the main transmission routes of COVID-19 are respiratory droplets and contact transmission. At the same time, some experts have indicated that aerosol transmission cannot be ruled out. Therefore, air safety has become the top priority for human survival.

Under this general trend, led by the company's chairman Huang Fangping, Huansinggu has formed an innovative R&D team with him as the chief engineer, consisting of top technical talents from domestic material research fields such as the University of Science and Technology of China, Nankai University, Xiamen University, Wuhan Textile University, Yanshan University, Xi'an Polytechnic University, and Xidian University. The team has successfully developed a nano-biomaterial (HXG-36-9) that can be widely applied in textile, coating, plastic, and other industries. The products cover medical devices, personal family protection, air purification, water purification, automotive accessories, etc. In particular, the Lanxi Waterfall Medical-Grade Air Purification System, developed and produced by the company's subsidiary, Huansinggu Lanxi Waterfall Purification Technology Co., Ltd., creatively combines 'life vitamin' negative ions and ultra-purification technology to truly restore natural and pure air, making the air we breathe at all times have health-promoting functions. It sets a new industry benchmark and truly brings natural fresh air into our lives.

Huang Fangping stated that the most common mode of transmission for viruses and bacteria is through airborne vectors. Once a virus enters the body, it can have a severe impact on human health, especially on the elderly, children, and those with weaker immune systems. Currently, the safest and most effective methods for disinfection and sterilization of viruses and bacteria in the air include negative ions and chlorine dioxide. Among these, negative ions, also known as negative oxygen ions, are negatively charged gas ions in the air. Some people refer to negative ions as 'air vitamins' and believe that they have a significant impact on the vital activities of humans and other organisms, similar to vitamins in food. Some even believe that air negative ions are related to longevity, calling them 'longevity factors' and 'air guardians'. According to research, as long as one is exposed to a high concentration of air negative ions, it is possible to block the transmission routes of airborne diseases.

Currently, there are primarily two ways to increase the concentration of negative ions in the air environment. One is to utilize air negative ions formed under natural conditions; the other is to generate negative ions under artificial conditions or by using natural substances as negative ion generators. Among these, a widely adopted method is the use of natural mineral materials capable of releasing negative ions, which have significant health benefits for the human body.

It is reported that the air negative ion concentration value of Lanxi Waterfall in Chongyi County, Ganzhou City has entered the Guinness Book of Records as the highest in China, reaching a value of over 190,000 per cubic centimeter. Relying on this geographical advantage, the original medical-grade air technology of Lanxi Waterfall in Huanxing Valley operates on the principle that air enters the purification chamber, where billions of ions are instantly released, forming a powerful ion field that instantly pushes pollution to the collection wall. It operates without filters, consumables, or secondary pollution, capable of purifying particulate matter down to the nanoscale, including viruses, bacteria, and ultrafine particulate matter that poses the greatest threat to human health. It can reduce PM 2.5 in the air to zero, achieving ultra-high purification. The formaldehyde removal rate is over 99%, and the virus killing rate is over 99%. It can effectively kill COVID-19, H1N1 influenza A virus, etc. It possesses dual efficiency in killing viruses and purifying air, and releases air vitamin negative oxygen ions. The air negative ions reach forest-level quality, improving the spatial environment, enhancing human self-healing ability, and continuously removing odors..

Relying on this technology, the Lanxi Waterfall Medical-Grade Air Purification System has emerged as the times require. It primarily incorporates core technologies such as Aoid Alkaloid Technology, High-Efficiency Nanofiltration Technology, and Ion Waterfall Purification Technology, marking the world's first innovative generation of air filtration technology system. Notably, the Aoid Alkaloid Antibacterial and Antiviral Technology is a global pioneer, and the independently developed High-Energy Ion Waterfall Technology has reached an internationally leading level.

The nano-active material module of the Lanxi Waterfall medical-grade air purification system utilizes the unique nano-treatment technology developed by Huanxinggu. It can filter larger particulate matter in the air and achieve a 99% one-time kill rate for multiple viruses. The original Aoid alkaloid technology combines Huanxinggu's nano-biomaterial HXG-36-9 with herbal plant extracts, providing multiple functions such as negative ion release, formaldehyde removal, VOC removal, sterilization, and virus elimination. It represents a new generation of antiviral technology, characterized by safety, efficiency, durability, and stability. Actual testing has shown a virus removal rate of over 99%.

Working principle of the ion waterfall generator: Air enters the ion waterfall chamber, where billions of positive and negative ions are instantly released, forming a powerful ion field. This instantly pushes pollutants towards the collection wall, and the collected pollutants are cleaned up through continuous scheduled water cleaning without stopping the machine. After bacteria enter the ion waterfall chamber, the ion waterfall pushes them towards the collection wall. Under the influence of the ion waterfall, they will naturally die.

In summary, the Lanxi Waterfall medical-grade air purification system integrates air purification, virus elimination, formaldehyde removal, and negative oxygen ion release, meeting people's comprehensive needs for home living and health care. It is the fifth essential household appliance after the four major appliances (television, refrigerator, washing machine, and air conditioner). The research and development center team of this technology possesses professional custom design and product manufacturing capabilities, fully meeting various customer needs in super-large, large, and small applications. It can be widely used for air purification in various types of places such as large factories, office buildings, schools, hospitals, and residences, and has extremely high environmental and social value.

Independent research and development, realizing the dream of a healthy China. As we all know, air purifiers, also known as 'air cleaners', air fresheners, or purifiers, refer to products capable of adsorbing, decomposing, or transforming various air pollutants (generally including PM2.5, dust, pollen, odors, decoration pollutants such as formaldehyde, bacteria, allergens, etc.), effectively improving air cleanliness. They are mainly divided into household, commercial, industrial, and building types. Currently, the penetration rate of air purifiers in developed countries is much higher than that in developing countries, with South Korea reaching 70% and Europe at 40%. In China, the penetration rate is 20%, with huge market growth potential.

In response to the national call for 'building a strong nation through health', Huanxing Valley Nanotechnology Co., Ltd. is committed to independent scientific research, catching up with and surpassing world-leading technologies, and using technological power to improve people's lives and achieve universal health. On April 10, 2021, the Huanxing Valley Nanofunctional Materials Project officially settled in the Ganzhou Economic Development Zone. The project, with an investment of 120 million yuan, aims to establish a fully functional research, development, and production base for new nanomaterial technologies for sterilization and antiviral applications. This will lay a solid foundation for the company to further integrate downstream resources, improve its industrial chain system, and ultimately establish a health new material industry system based on bio-nanofunctional new materials that spans the entire industrial chain.

On May 23, 2021, Huanxinggu Technology Co., Ltd. was awarded the title of '2021 Leading Enterprise in Technological Independent Innovation' at the 18th Scientist Forum, and Huang Fangping was honored with the title of '2021 Leading Figure in Technological Independent Innovation'.

Lu Xun famously said, 'Since ancient times, we have had people who work hard and those who work desperately... They are the backbone of China!' The hard work and innovation of the people in Huanxinggu not only bring about technological development and progress in human health, but also demonstrate the heroic spirit of the Chinese nation in facing major disasters, as well as its boundless responsibility and commitment in the face of adversity.
