METHOD, COMPOSITION AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING AN OXYGEN-FLOW

The invention provides a solid material for generating a flow of oxygen, the solid material comprising a chemical mixture for generating said flow of oxygen, the chemical mixture comprising as chemical components:1-25% w/w of a self-sustaining decomposition additive, wherein the decomposition additive is selected from the group of copper (Cu), aluminium (Al), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), molybdenum (Mo), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), cobalt oxides (Co2O3 and Co3O4), copper oxide (CuO), iron oxide (Fe2O3), zinc oxide (ZnO), manganese oide (MnO), manganese dioxide (MnO2), chrome (Cr), chrome oxides, titanium, titanium oxides, and combinations thereof;65-97% w/w of an oxygen generating component, wherein the oxygen generating component is selected from the group of alkali chlorates and alkali perchlorates, and alkali superoxides;2-5% w/w of an inorganic binder;wherein said weight percentages are based upon the weight of the total solid material, wherein said solid material has a skeletal density of 2.8-3.5 g/cm3,wherein said solid material has a porosity of 30-50%, and wherein in said chemical mixture components are provided as particles having a volume particle size distribution having its peak between 5 and 100 μm.
