Key words: micro-capsule, chamber, non-ionic surfactant, hydrogen peroxide. Introduction In the present scenario, environment is threatened by air pollution due to addition of harmful substances, poisonous gases and smoke that are released in the surrounding air from industries which are working on chemicals such as nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide etc. To live a healthy life, fresh air is very important that is free from various poisonous gasses and other pollutants. Many devices like respirators and rebreathers are used to provide oxygen by absorbing carbon di-oxide and protect the user from respiratory problems but these devices are limited by the rate at which they provide oxygen and the conditions under which they are used. Thus, there is a need to provide a user friendly device that is portable and provides high quality oxygen, by trapping and removing all the impurities present in the environment [3], [4]. Working A portable oxygen dispensing device comprises of a body, and a wearable mask connected to the body, for providing oxygen enriched filtered air to the user. Upon holding the sleeves of the device, the device is stretched to a maximum length and gets activated. The body comprise of six chambers, wherein a first chamber consists of a micro-capsule which comprise a sodium superoxide as a core material to generate oxygen, a second chamber associated with the first 1 Volume 5, Issue 8, August 2018 268 http://cikitusi.com/ CIKITUSI JOURNAL FOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH ISSN NO: 0975-6876 chamber and consists of a lithium hydroxide for absorbing the carbon di-oxide, a third chamber is interconnected with the first and the second chamber and consist of a solution of magnesium chloride and ethoxylated aliphatic alcohol for feeding the solution to the first chamber on faster breathing rate, a fourth chamber is interconnected with the first chamber and the third chamber and consists of a solution of hydrogen peroxide and ethoxylated aliphatic alcohol for feeding the solution to the first chamber on prolonged faster breathing rate, a fifth chamber contains a zeolite for absorbing noxious gases such as nitrogen dioxide , sulphur dioxide and other undesired gases is connected with the fourth chamber , and a sixth chamber consists of anti-oxidants to prevent the device from harmful reactions. A wearable mask is attached to the first chamber of the body by a means of a channel to provide the passage of oxygen through the channel. At slow breathing rates, respired air causes the microcapsule coating to swell and allow water to react with the sodium superoxide. Sodium hydroxide is formed from the reaction which generates oxygen and also absorbs carbon di-oxide from the air. For fast breathing rates, it is necessary to provide more moisture to the microcapsule than the amount obtained from respiration.. Accordingly, a solution of magnesium chloride with a small amount of ethoxylated aliphatic alcohol is pumped into the microcapsule chamber from an attached pipe with a lid over it. The pressure generated results in rapid oxygen evolution and diffusion of carbon dioxide to the oxygen generating sites is inhibited. For prolonged breathing rates, more amount of oxygen is required for respiration. In this situation, a solution of hydrogen peroxide and ethoxylated aliphatic alcohol is pumped from the pipe with a lid over it to the microcapsule chamber. A double decomposition reaction occurs which comprises the reaction of the sodium superoxide with hydrogen peroxide. This double decomposition reaction generates large amount of oxygen in a small amount of time, thereby enabling the user to breathe faster at the time of need. Result The portable oxygen dispenser generates large amount of oxygen without the requirement of electricity or mechanical pumps. The device is portable in nature to provide the user an ease for carrying the device from one place to another. Conclusion Most of the oxygen dispensing devices require electricity and mechanical pumps to generate oxygen. By the introduction of oxygen dispensing device the need for electrical pumps is eliminated and further provides a portable, user friendly, and cost-effective device for breathing fresh air. Thus, preventing the user fron harmful respiratory disorders. 2 Volume 5, Issue 8, August 2018 269 http://cikitusi.com/ CIKITUSI JOURNAL FOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH ISSN NO: 0975-6876 References [1] B.
