Above is the article about the device Battelle invented. It uses Hydrogen Peroxide gas. It is a commercial unit, but there might be something in there that could be modified for home use??

I’m guessing it isn’t as easy as dumping a bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide into a pot and boiling it and hanging the mask in the steam. The HP (3%) is mostly water, and the water boils off at a lower temperature than the HP. I’ve seen videos where to get a stronger HP solution for disinfecting you can heat it up at just below boiling and the water will evaporate and the liquid remaining after 2(?) hours will be a higher percent HP.

A link @ the link says reuse up to 50x ok.

This could really help hospitals a lot.
