What is Energized Oxygen?

Energized oxygen is a state where high energy particles of oxygen molecules are removed, creating more reactive forms. This occurs when oxygen is held in a form other than its normal (O₂) state. Energized forms of oxygen have higher reactivity and play a more effective role in chemical changes or biological systems.

Common Types of Energized Oxygen

1. Ozon (O₃) :

  • Definition: It consists of three oxygen atoms.
  • Formation: The oxygen molecule (O₂) is broken down by high energy (e.g. power outages or ultraviolet rays) and turns into free oxygen atoms. These atoms combine with other O₂ molecules to form O₃, or ozone.
  • Usage Areas: Water purification, air cleaning, medical treatments, food disinfection, industrial cleaning.

2. Singlet Oxygen (¹O₂):

  • Definition: Singlet oxygen is an adapted form of oxygen, a form in which two electrons are at the same energy level. It is obtained by energizing the normal oxygen molecule.
  • Formation: occurs with chemical changes, photoexcitation (photochemical) or other energy sources.
  • Usage Areas: Singlet oxygen is used in cancer treatments (photodynamic therapy) and various biomedical applications, disinfection and sterilization in medicine.

3. Superoxide (O₂⁻) :

  • Definition: Superoxide is a negatively charged ion of oxygen and is highly reactive.
  • Formation: It is formed when the oxygen molecule gains an electron. This usually occurs in metabolic functions that are changing.
  • Usage Areas: Superoxide ion is a molecule that does not have direct industrial use, but is found in parts found in biological systems. Due to its high reactivity, it is an important part of antioxidant systems.

4. Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) :

  • Definition: Hydrogen peroxide is a derivative of oxygen and another form associated with energized oxygen. This molecule, consisting of two oxygen and two hydrogen atoms, is an organic with high oxygen power.
  • Areas of Use: Disinfection, wound cleaning, food processing, industrial cleaning, water treatment.

5.Peroxide Radical (HO₂•) :

  • Definition: Peroxide radicals are another type of energized oxygen formed by oxygen peroxides and parts of free radicals. It is highly reactive and usually occurs as a temporary intermediate species in chemical processes.
  • Formation: It is formed as a result of the interaction of oxygen with free radicals during chemical reactions.
  • Usage Areas: It is used as an intermediate product especially in chemical syntheses. It does not have a direct widespread use, but it is located in biochemical facilities related to free radicals.

6. Molecular Oxygen (O₂) – High Energy Form:

  • Definition: The normal oxygen molecule (O₂) can exist in an energized, i.e. higher energy state, in addition to the low energy amount.
  • Formation: When stimulated by high energy sources (e.g. lasers or power outages), the oxygen molecule produces high energy. However, this state is short-lived and the molecule quickly returns to its original state by using energy.
  • Usage Areas: This form is used in laser treatments or various scientific experiments.

Oxygen Energization and Production Method:

  • The oxygen entering the reactor is energized using an energy source, usually an electrical discharge (barrier discharge) light. This converts the oxygen molecules into a more reactive form. Active oxygen species have strong oxidative properties.
  • According to the laboratory experiments and Mass Chromatography-Gas Spectrometry analysis results, it was interpreted that the energized gas consists of a high percentage of Singlet Oxygen and trace amounts of other reactive gases. It is similar to the ozone device in terms of topology, but the device is not an ozone device.
  • The reactor of ozone devices works with a voltage of 5 kV-10 kV. The reactor of our device works with a voltage of 30 kV-100 kV. This high voltage changes the spin of 1 electron of Oxygen and makes it high energy. After the energized oxygen does its job, it returns to the O2 form.
  • Singlet oxygen and ozone are energized oxygen species with different structural and chemical properties. Although ozone is an important gas naturally found in the atmosphere, it is a harmful compound in high concentrations that has adverse effects on human health and the environment. Since it is unstable, it forms byproducts and is toxic.
  • Singlet oxygen is a reactive molecule that provides significant benefits in medical, chemical and industrial fields. It is used in a wide range of applications from innovative medical applications such as photodynamic therapy to food safety and water-air purification processes. In addition, it has antioxidant properties and cell health-supporting effects. It is unstable and non-toxic.
  • Our device has been produced by Turkish engineers as a local and national technology and continues to be developed.
