Oxygen is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that
supports life and combustion. All elements, except rare
gases, react with oxygen, over a wide range of
temperatures, to form oxides. Oxygen is 1.1 times
heavier than air and is slightly soluble in water.
Oxygen is present in the atmosphere at a concentration
of 21.0%. Oxygen is recovered from air in an Air
Separation Unit (ASU) where it is drawn off as a
cryogenic liquid at about -298°F. Oxygen can then be
distributed as a cryogenic liquid or as a gas in
cylinders. Oxygen can also be generated onsite, using
various techniques.
The major uses of oxygen are based on its
combustion-sustaining, oxidizing and life-supporting
attributes. Whether used directly or to enrich
combustion air, oxygen is widely used with fuel gases in
furnaces, smelters, kilns, welding and metal cutting.
Oxygen is used in chemical production as a raw material
and in pulp manufacturing as a bleaching agent. Most
importantly, oxygen is used for medical reasons to save
and protect life.
Safety Informations
- Oxygen is not toxic at atmospheric pressures.
- Oxygen
deficient atmospheres cause asphyxiation and death.
- Oxygen enrichment is just as dangerous and difficult to
detect.
- Clothing and flammable materials will burn violently if
impregnated with oxygen
- Oxygen reacts violently with oil and may spontaneously
burn with an explosive force
