Chemical oxygen generator
Yunchang Zhang,James C. Cannon +1 more
TL;DR: An improved chemical oxygen generator as mentioned in this paper includes an oxygen generating candle having an oxygen source, which upon decomposition will yield oxygen, and a nontoxic additive to smooth decomposition and suppress formation of toxic free chlorine gas.
Patent
Oxygen generating compositions catalyzed by copper and nickel oxides
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to improve the rheology of an operating chemical oxygen candle by using a catalyzed reaction of a chlorate or perchlorate-based oxygen generating composition.
Patent
Oxygen generating compositions
Yunchang Zhang,James C. Cannon +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used magnesium oxide to modify and smooth the oxygen generation rate, suppress chlorine formation, improve the rheology and uniformity of performance of an operating chemical oxygen candle, and facilitate the mixing of the candle ingredients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic effects of metal oxides on the thermal decomposition of sodium chlorate
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal decomposition of NaClO3 in the presence of metal oxides was studied using thermogravimetric analysis and it was found that catalytic activity depends on the electron configurations of the metal cations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic effects of metal oxides on the decomposition of Potassium perchlorate
TL;DR: In this paper, the catalytic mechanism of metal oxides with comparable surface areas on the decomposition of potassium perchlorate was studied by thermogravimetric analysis, and it was found that the oxides containing transition metal cations with partially filled d-orbitals have the highest catalytic activity.
