A method for producing oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide in a single operation using a solution that contains an oxygen source and a redox partner that can react to form oxygen and a chemical species that can form an insoluble carbonate to precipitate and chemically store carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is introduced into the solution and the carbonate precipitates as the oxygen is generated. In particular, the invention uses an aqueous solution of permanganate and hydrogen peroxide that react in the presence of a catalyst to produce oxygen and manganese (II) ions. Carbon dioxide gas introduced into the solution reacts with the manganese (II) ions to precipitate manganese carbonate. Other cations capable of reacting with carbon dioxide to form an insoluble carbonate, for example calcium, barium and magnesium, may also be added to the solution to precipitate carbonate salts. Calcium permanganate may used as a source of both calcium and permanganate.

A method for improving the environmental stability of cathode materials used in lithium-based batteries. Most currently used cathode active materials are acutely sensitive to environmental conditions, e.g. leading to moisture and CO₂ pickup, that cause problems for material handling especially during electrode preparation and to gassing during charge and discharge cycles. Binder materials used for making cathodes, such as PVDF and PTFE, are mixed with and/or coated on the cathode materials to improve the environmental sensitivity of the cathode materials.

A system and method for determining the volume of oxygen taken up by the lungs of a human or veterinary patient. A closed ventilation circuit is connected to a spirometric device, which contains a quantity of oxygen. As oxygen is taken up by the patient, an equivalent volume of oxygen passes from the spirometric device into the ventilation circuit. The volume of oxygen that moves from the spirometric device may thus be measured as an indication of the volume of oxygen that has been taken up by the patient. In some embodiments, a source of make-up oxygen is connected to the ventilation circuit and the flow of make-up oxygen is adjusted as necessary to maintain a substantially constant volume of oxygen in the spirometric device. The volume of make-up oxygen is measured and serves as an indication of the amount of oxygen taken up by the patient. A valve may be used to close the spirometric device off from the ventilation circuit during all but a part of the ventilation cycle (e.g., all but the late expiratory phase) to prevent substantial pressure or movement excursions within the spirometric device

A hand-held rebreather/breathing apparatus for high altitude pre-acclimatization and training. Air exhaled by a user is directed to a reservoir bag for cooling and condensate collection.

Baseline of the minimum oxygen concentration in inspired air can be pre-set by means of adjustment of the maximum volume of the reservoir bag and/or by means of altering of the number or diameter of one or a plurality of orifices for commination of the ambient air. Biofeedback may be provided by an oxygen monitor.

Disclosed are apparatus and method to treat large amounts of flue gas from a pulverized coal combustion power plant. The flue gas is contacted with solid sorbents to selectively absorb CO₂, which is then released as a nearly pure CO₂ gas stream upon regeneration at higher temperature. The method is capable of handling the necessary sorbent circulation rates of tens of millions of lbs/hr to separate CO₂ from a power plant's flue gas stream. Because pressurizing large amounts of flue gas is cost prohibitive, the method of this invention minimizes the overall pressure drop in the absorption section to less than 25 inches of water column. The internal circulation of sorbent within the absorber assembly in the proposed method not only minimizes temperature increases in the absorber to less than 25° F., but also increases the CO₂ concentration in the sorbent to near saturation levels. Saturating the sorbent with CO₂ in the absorber section minimizes the heat energy needed for sorbent regeneration. The commercial embodiments of the proposed method can be optimized for sorbents with slower or faster absorption kinetics, low or high heat release rates, low or high saturation capacities and slower or faster regeneration kinetics.
