A DEVICE TO PRODUCE OXYGEN BY CATALYTIC DECOMPOSITION OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

摘要

An appliance for continuous production of a gaseous product (12), and a liquid byproduct (16), at the same time by reacting a liquid reagent in a reactor (4). The positive difference between the pressure at an entrance to and the pressure at an outlet of the reactor (4) is kept constant. The appliance is used to generate oxygen by decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and this oxygen can be used in welding and cutting sets. The appliance includes a reactor comprising a horizontal reaction zone connected to a horizontal gas collection zone, located above the reaction zone, by vertical conduits.
