Description

Oxygen, O2, is a colorless, tasteless, gaseous element essential to almost all forms of life. It promotes respiration and combustion. Oxygen comprises 20% of the earth's atmosphere and is the most abundant element in seawater and in the earth's crust. It is slightly soluble in water and alcohol, but combines readily with most other elements to form oxides. The electrolysis of water produces both oxygen and hydrogen.

Oxygen is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. It will support life. It is noncombustible, but will actively support the burning of combustible materials. Some materials that will not burn in air will burn in oxygen. Materials that burn in air will burn more vigorously in oxygen. As a non-liquid gas it is shipped at pressures of 2000 psig or above. Pure oxygen is nonflammable. Under prolonged exposure to fire or intense heat the containers may rupture violently and rocket. Oxygen is used in the production of synthesis gas from coal, for resuscitation and as an inhalant.

Oxygen Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

The air separation method first removes the air after dust and mechanical impurities and compresses it in the compressor. Remove carbon dioxide from compressed air. The dried compressed air is liquefied, rectified, and separated into oxygen and nitrogen. The oxygen is stored in an oxygen cabinet, the liquid oxygen is sent to the storage tank, and the compressed oxygen is filled in the oxygen bottle. Water electrolysis Water is fed with direct current in an electrolysis cell, and the water is decomposed into oxygen and hydrogen. This method can produce pure hydrogen and by-product oxygen.

Uses

In oxyhydrogen or oxyacetylene flame for welding metals and for lighting (calcium light, etc); submarine work by divers, propellant for rockets.In the production of synthesis gas which can be used in the Fischer-Tropsch process for liquid fuels.
