   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_oxygen_generator

   A chlorate candle, or an oxygen candle, is a cylindrical chemical oxygen generator that contains a mix of sodium chlorate and iron powder, which when ignited smolders at about 600 °C (1,100 °F), producing sodium chloride, iron oxide, and oxygen at a fixed rate of about 6.5 man-hours per kilogram of the mixture. The mixture has an indefinite ...

7. Oxygen storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_storage

   Chemical oxygen generators store oxygen in their chemical composition, and can be used only one time. Oxygen Candles contain a mix of sodium chlorate and iron powder, which when ignited smolders at about 600 °C (1,112 °F) and results in sodium chloride, iron oxide, and oxygen, about 270 liters per kg of mixture.
