AIR PURIFICATION IN CONFINED AREAS

Abstract

The following information is summarized from literature sources: (1) an improved method for obtaining N2O2 and KO2 by direct oxidation of metal with oxygen is reported. The interaction of NaO2 with CO2 was studied; all experiments were made in the presence of water vapor. Above 25 C all reactions resulted in complete discharge of O and the formation of Na2CO3 over an intermediate phase of NaOH. Below 10 C only superoxide O was discharged; peroxide O remained in the resultant compound, Na2C2O6. A practical method of obtaining Na2C2O6 which can be used as a mild oxidizer is discussed. The interaction of NaO2 or KO2 with CO is also discussed.
