  • the present invention refers to a new type of oxygen absorbers, a method for their activation and the use of such absorbers in anaerobic environments.
  • Oxygen absorbers also commonly referred to in the technical field with the term “oxygen scavengers” have a variety of applications. Among the most common ones there are food and medicine preservation. At industrial level there is a wide spectrum of other possible applications, spanning from the use within metallic piping in order to prevent corrosion, such as the ones for oil transportation, to the use within solid state or organic electronic systems, in order to prevent oxidation and degradation of the components installed therein. The most important devices of this latter category are OLED screens (Organic Light Emitting Display) and Organic Solar Cells (OSC). Another field of application of particular relevance is given by chemical syntheses or preparations that in intermediate process phases may be subject to the undesired generation of oxygen, which leads to the needing of its removal.

  • the oxygen scavenger remains essentially inert to oxygen until it is exposed to a meaningful concentration of humidity, which activates its function of O 2 scavenger.
  • US 5,798,055 discloses a preferred mode of use that provides for heating of the scavenger precursor once installed within the device in order to ease the H 2 O generation in the anaerobic environment and therefore trigger the functionality of the activated scavenger.
  • This type of solution has two different problems, the first one regarding the necessity of the presence of H 2 O in the closed environment for an effective O 2 sorption that is incompatible with many final application.
  • a typical example in this case is provided by the organo-electronic devices, where the presence of H 2 O is detrimental to the features of the device and therefore cannot be guarantee.
  • the second problem is related to the scavenger preservation, that must be made in an anhydrous environment in order to avoid its premature activation and the consequent loss of capacity.
  • This oxygen scavenger precursor composition comprise microporous aluminosilicates exchanged with bivalent metallic ions having a silica to alumina molar ratio comprised between 1.5 and 5 characterized in that said bivalent exchanged aluminosilicates are in their hydrated form.
  • scavenger precursor composition of the invention there is the possibility of storing and shipping them without particularly caring about the exposure to air.
  • These scavengers are inert to air because, being pre-saturated with H 2 O as a consequence of the production process of the exchanged aluminosilicates.
  • H 2 O occupies essentially all the sites active for the removal of O 2 .
  • H 2 O molecules occupy a number of active sites that is consequence of the thermodynamical equilibrium with the environmental humidity (generally equivalent to a water content comprise between 3.2 and 28% respect the total weight of the aluminosilicates) resulting in a limitated reactivity of the composition respect oxygen moleules until its activation treatment.
  • zeolites having a molar ratio silica to alumina lower than 2 require particular solutions in order to be manufactured. For this reason, in a preferred embodiment, such molar ratio is comprised between 2 and 2.5.

Differently to the present invention, it describes material suitable for manufacturing catalytic systems useful for organic chemistry reactions, with particular reference to hydrocarbon conversion reaction.

  • Suitable polymeric materials for carrying out the invention are, as a non- limiting example, vinyl polymers, polyesters, polyethers, polyamides, polymers deriving from condensation of phenolformaldehyde, polysiloxanes, ionic polymers, polyurethanes, epoxy resins, acrylates, styrene block copolymers (SBS or SEBS gums) and natural polymers such as cellulose.

  • Such weight loss may be achieved by means of a suitable heating, typically carried out in vacuum or inert gas, for example by heating for a time ranging between 5 and 30 minutes and temperatures between 120 0 C and 300 0 C. Obviously, when low activation temperatures are used the corresponding activation times are longer. Atypical example of suitable activation process leading to a 7% weight loss can be achieved by heating at 200 0 C for 10-15 minutes. In alternative, when heating is carried out in no inert conditions, scavenger properties can be substantially preserved simply limiting the exposure to the environment before its complete cooling.
