Systems for the Storage of Molecular Oxygen - A Study.
Abstract
A search of the current chemical literature has been performed in an effort to identify systems to generate and store molecular oxygen. Most of the current oxygen production capacity is based on the cryogenic fractionation of air; alternatives for smaller scale or more mobile situations were sought. Systems were classified according to one of four types: adsorption/adsorption, chemical reaction, formation from cheap substrate, and continuous separation. At present, only zeolite-based adsorption systems are commercially competitive; three other candidate systems for further development are identified. (Author)
