Absorber Packets

what is in a oxygen absorber packet?
I need to find out what the contents are of the oxygen absorber packets you get in dried foods.
Typically in a gas stream oxygen is taken out with a cold trap that is cooled below the boiling point of O2. You have to watch that though, once you’ve got liquid oxygen (LOX), you’ve got rocket fuel in your hands. Explosive combustion is a real possibility.
Food packets don’t typically absorb oxygen, those packets are absorbing moisture(desicants). To get the oxygen out of there they typically displace it by filling the package with CO2. (Those bags of lettuce in the grocery store? Filled with CO2). Most folks use a gas tight packaging like metalized mylar. Myself I prefer argon as displacement gas it has the highest density and it is hardest to mess up. You can actually fill a bowl with argon and it will sit there for several hours, days if you put a cover on it. Nitrogen is also used, it is the cheapest and safest, but it is also the hardest to process.
There are solids that absorb O2, they are called molecular sieves. However for oxygen their use is very limited. Basically small nooks in these zeolites catch the O2. The problem is that other gases (like CO) and water will also stick in these small features, so the sieve gets “poisoned “ relatively quickly and then you need to recharge them.

Oxygen absorbing packets contain a mixture of powdered iron (very fine iron filings) and salt (sodium chloride).
In the presence of oxygen and moisture the iron combines with oxygen to form iron oxides. The presence of salt accelerates this process electrochemically but salt does not actually react with oxygen.
Essentially, the iron is "rusting". Because of the large surface area of the small particles, it does this very quickly. This is the same principle as used in some disposable, single use, pocket hand-warmers. As the iron oxidises, heat is produced.
