Abstract
A composition for generating oxygen, comprising at least one oxygen source includes at least one ionic liquid, and at least one metal salt, wherein the oxygen source comprises a peroxide compound, the ionic liquid is in the liquid state at least in a temperature range from −10° C. to +50° C., and the metal salt has an organic and/or an inorganic anion, and comprises one single metal or two or more different metals. The present invention also relates to methods for generating oxygen, and to the use of ionic liquids in oxygen generating compositions.
Claims19
A composition for generating oxygen, comprising at least one oxygen source,
- at least one ionic liquid, and
- at least one metal salt, wherein
- the oxygen source comprises a peroxide compound,
- the ionic liquid is in the liquid state at least in a temperature range from −10° C. to +50° C., and
- the metal salt comprises one single metal or two or more different metals, and an organic and/or an inorganic anion, and
- the at least one oxygen source, the at least one ionic liquid, and the at least one metal salt, upon coming into contact with one another, forming a composition that generates breathable oxygen for human breathing.
A method for generating oxygen comprising:
- providing at least one oxygen source,
- providing at least one ionic liquid,
- providing at least one metal salt, wherein:
- the oxygen source is a peroxide compound,
- the ionic liquid is in the liquid state at least in the temperature range from −10° C. to +50° C.,
- the metal salt comprises one single metal or two or more different metals, and an organic and/or inorganic anion, and
- generates breathable oxygen, when the oxygen source, the ionic liquid, and the metal salt are in contact with each other, and
- contacting the oxygen source, the ionic liquid, and the metal salt.
