sodium peroxide

Can be used as oxygen supply agent, strong oxidant and bleaching agent.

1. It can react with CO2 and release O2.

2Na2O2+ 2CO2 = 2Na2CO3+O2

According to this property, it can be used in mines, tunnels, diving, spaceships and other anoxic occasions to convert CO2 exhaled by people into O2 for breathing.

2. Sodium peroxide can be used to remove H2O and CO2 impurities from O2.
