oxygengeneration
Oxygen generation is the production of molecular oxygen (O2) for uses such as medical treatment, industrial processing, and life-support in space, underwater, or aviation. It encompasses technologies that produce O2 from ambient air, water, or chemical reactions, providing reliable oxygen supplies when atmospheric oxygen is insufficient or unavailable.
The major approaches are electrolysis of water, cryogenic air separation, adsorption-based separation, membrane-based separation, and chemical
Applications include medical practice, where oxygen concentrators and cylinder supplies deliver therapeutic oxygen at controlled concentrations.
Safety and performance considerations are important. Oxygen supports combustion and can intensify fires, so systems are
