  2. Oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen

    This and other experiments on combustion were documented in his book Sur la combustion en général, which was published in 1777. [19] In that work, he proved that air is a mixture of two gases; 'vital air', which is essential to combustion and respiration, and azote (Gk. ἄζωτον "lifeless"), which did not support either.

  3. Oxygen tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_tank

    High pressure oxygen storage cylinder, colloquially referred to as an oxygen tank. Oxygen tanks are used to store gas for: medical breathing (oxygen therapy) at medical facilities and at home (high pressure cylinder)

  4. Oxygen concentrator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_concentrator

    An oxygen concentrator is a device that concentrates the oxygen from a gas supply (typically ambient air) by selectively removing nitrogen to supply an oxygen-enriched product gas stream.

    O2 Residence, a part of the Jumeirah Lake Towers in Dubai, United Arab Emirates; O2 World (Berlin), an indoor arena in Berlin, Germany; O2 World (Hamburg), an indoor arena in Hamburg, Germany; Otoyol 2, a motorway in Turkey called "O2" The O2 (Dublin), the former name of 3Arena; Ring 2 (Aarhus), a road in Aarhus, Denmark, which appears as "O2 ...

  6. Respiratory burst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_burst

    Respiratory burst (or oxidative burst) is the rapid release of the reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide anion (O − 2) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2), from different cell types.

  7. Oxygen reduction reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_reduction_reaction

    The oxygen reduction reaction is an essential reaction for aerobic organisms. Such organisms are powered by the heat of combustion of fuel (food) by O 2.Rather than combustion, organisms rely on elaborate sequences of electron-transfer reactions, often coupled to proton transfer.

  8. Geological history of oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geological_history_of_oxygen

    O 2 build-up in the Earth's atmosphere.Red and green lines represent the range of the estimates while time is measured in billions of years ago ().Stage 1 (3.85–2.45 Ga): Practically no O 2 in the atmosphere.

  9. Dark oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_oxygen

    Dark oxygen production refers to the generation of molecular oxygen (O 2) through processes that do not involve light-dependent oxygenic photosynthesis.The name therefore uses a different sense of 'dark' than that used in the phrase "biological dark matter" (for example) which indicates obscurity to scientific assessment rather than the photometric meaning.
