    Oxygen
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for a liquid with variable oxygen absorption capacity based on temperature, specifically mentioning alkyl pyrogallol solutions. The user seeks a method to produce oxygen efficiently for a project that requires a consistent supply of oxygen in a compact form. The limitations of relying solely on solubility for oxygen storage are acknowledged, prompting inquiries about alternative processes for oxygen extraction from air. Technologies used in oxygen concentrators are suggested as potential solutions. The user aims to demonstrate complete combustion of fuels to minimize smoke, expressing a preference for on-demand oxygen production rather than purchasing it outright.

I am looking for a liquid whose oxygen absorption capacity varies with temperature. I have heard of alkyl pyrogallol solution but there are different solutions of pyrogallol in alkaline solution . I wanted to produce oxygen with the help of this o2 absorbing capacity variation with temperature.
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
As long are you are thinking about relying on the solubility differences, amount of oxygen stored will be very small.
 
Then is there any other process which can provide me with regular supply of oxygen because the requirement for my project is regular absorbing of oxygen from air that too in a highly engineered (as small volume as possible) manner. The substance should be instantly made unsaturated and saturated(of oxygen) such that I can store the oxygen thus collected.

Have you considered technologies used in oxygen concentrators? How much oxygen do you need? Why you can't use just air?
 
I'll have a look at them. I jus want to demonstrate complete combustion of fuels (with sufficient amount of oxygen provided to them). hence to reduce smoke produced. This could be done with me purchasing oxygen,but I jus want to know how can we produce oxygen in a reasonable manner on the go.

Thread 'How to make Sodium Chlorate by Electrolysis of salt water?'
I have a power supply for electrolysis of salt water brine, variable 3v to 6v up to 30 amps. Cathode is stainless steel, anode is carbon rods. Carbon rod surface area 42" sq. the Stainless steel cathode should be 21" sq. Salt is pure 100% salt dissolved into distilled water. I have been making saturated salt wrong. Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...

I tracks prices of Pt, Pd, Ru, Ir and Ru. Of the 5 metals, rhodium (Rh) is the most expensive. A year ago, Rh and Ir...
