Abstract: Provided are methods and devices for storing and generating oxygen from a low temperature oxygen generating liquid. The oxygen storage method may use lithium chlorate plus water to store oxygen wherein all solids that may be present enter solution for delivery as a liquid to a reaction vessel. The oxygen production method may be a batch process with steps to heat the liquid, boil out the water, thermally decompose the lithium chlorate and then rinse out the remaining product. The apparatus for oxygen generation may use multiple reaction vessels operating sequentially to produce a continuous flow of oxygen with a rinse step in a separate area from the heat application area to remove end product solid. The device for oxygen storage includes a storage vessel and is configured to heat the oxygen generating liquid using waste heat present in the rinse liquid.

Abstract: An oxygen-generating liquid composition is described comprising compositions of water plus lithium chlorate as a saturated solution and as a mixture of saturated solution plus precipitated solids. The composition further comprises catalysts. The oxygen is produced via thermal decomposition. Uses of the composition include generation of oxygen for power production or for breathable air. A principal benefit is that the composition is an easily handled liquid stored in un-pressurized tank.
