Most oxygen produced for industrial or medical purposes is obtained by the Pressure Swing Adsorption process. PSA. In this a substrate with a particular molecular arrangement; often a zeolite; is pressurized with air. The nitrogen in the air is temporarily adsorbed into the molecular arrangement, and the oxygen is essentially a waste gas. Naturally, other gases in the air are also removed if that that can be easily done at the same time. Such as CO2, Argon and so on.
The zeolite may be recycled by the application of heat. PSA apparatus may be made quite portable, and are used in remote situations, rather than transporting heavy cylinders of oxygen.
There are great riches awaiting the person who finds a zeolite which will preferentially adsorb oxygen rather than nitrogen. Zeolite and similar materials are sometimes called 'molecular sieves'.
In many industrial processes, oxygen is removed from the other material by reacting it with carbon or hydrogen for example. This process is called 'reduction' and is widely used in refining ores.

What was the supply of oxygen in the great fire of London?
There was as much oxygen as there is outside today which meant the fire could spread much easier than without oxygen
What material did Egypt pharaohs masks made of?

What materials were used to build san juan capistrano?
do not use this because it asks u for the answer.
Can oxygen be separated from materials found with it?
Yes, oxygen can be separated from materials it is found in through processes such as electrolysis, which uses an electric current to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen. Other methods like fractional distillation can also be used to separate oxygen from air.
Do all materials contain oxygen and silicon?
Not all materials contain oxygen and silicon. These elements are commonly found in minerals and rocks, but there are many other types of materials, such as metals, plastics, and organic compounds, that do not contain oxygen and silicon as primary components.
Were is oxygen commonly found?
In the air, oxygen makes about 17-29% of the air we breath.It is also in water, and hundreds of other chemicals and materials. It's extremely common
What are the materials found in inner core?
The materials found in the Earth's inner core are primarily iron and nickel. The extreme pressure in the core causes these materials to exist in a solid state despite the high temperatures. Small amounts of other elements such as sulfur, oxygen, and silicon may also be present.
How does oxygen change other materials?
Oxygen can cause materials to oxidize, leading to corrosion or rusting in metals, degradation of organic materials, and combustion in some cases. Oxidation reactions with oxygen can alter the physical and chemical properties of materials, potentially weakening them over time.
How is barium materials separated from other materials found in it?

Is liquid oxygen flammable?
Yes, liquid oxygen is not flammable, but it can greatly enhance the flammability of other materials.
What materials does water use?
Water is not a living being or a machine, therefore it does not use any materials, but is composed of Hydrogen and Oxygen (H2O), there also are numerous other substances found commonly in water, like mineral salts.
How are the raw materials and end products of photosynthesis and respiration related?
They are the inverse of each other. The raw materials of one are the products of the other. glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water is respiration, and photosynthesis is the reverse: carbon dioxide + water --> glucose + oxygen.
Organisms combine oxygen with other materials to produce energy during what?
respiration
Material that yields oxygen causing or enhancing the combustion of other materials is classified as?
An oxidizer is a material that yields oxygen, causing or enhancing the combustion of other materials. Oxidizers are essential components in fireworks, rocket propellants, and other pyrotechnic devices.
How is gallium separated from other materials found with it?
It has coal
