  2. Reducing atmosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reducing_atmosphere

    Although Early Earth had a reducing prebiotic atmosphere prior to the Proterozoic eon, starting at about 2.5 billion years ago in the late Neoarchaean period, the Earth's atmosphere experienced a significant rise in oxygen and transitioned to an oxidizing atmosphere with a surplus of molecular oxygen (dioxygen, O 2) as the primary oxidizing agent.

  3. Purging (gas) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purging_(gas)

    The purge gas is inert, i.e. by definition [1] non-combustible, or more precisely, non-reactive. The most common purge gases commercially available in large quantities are nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Other inert gases, e.g. argon or helium may be used. Nitrogen and carbon dioxide are unsuitable purge gases in some applications, as these gases ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M44_(cyanide_device)

    The M44 cyanide device (also called a cyanide gun, cyanide trap, or canid pest ejector) is used to kill coyotes, feral dogs, and foxes. It is made from four parts: a capsule holder wrapped with cloth or other soft material, a small plastic capsule containing 0.88 grams of sodium cyanide , a spring-powered ejector, and a 5–7 inches (130–180 ...

    The international pictogram for oxidizing chemicals. Dangerous goods label for oxidizing agents. An oxidizing agent (also known as an oxidant, oxidizer, electron recipient, or electron acceptor) is a substance in a redox chemical reaction that gains or "accepts"/"receives" an electron from a reducing agent (called the reductant, reducer, or electron donor).

  8. Inert gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inert_gas

    The term inert gas is context-dependent because several of the inert gases, including nitrogen and carbon dioxide, can be made to react under certain conditions. [1] [2] Purified argon gas is the most commonly used inert gas due to its high natural abundance (78.3% N 2, 1% Ar in air) [3] and low relative cost.

  9. Cold trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_trap

    Any oxygen gas content in the vacuum line or any leak in the vacuum line will result in liquid oxygen mixed with the target vapors, often with explosive results. When performed on a larger scale, this technique is called freeze-drying, and the cold trap is referred to as the condenser.
