Abstract
A process for separating oxygen from gas mixture containing oxygen is disclosed. The gas mixtures are contacted with a solution of an organometallic complex oxygen carrier and an electrolyte in an organic solvent. During the contact, oxygen is bound to the carrier. After the contacting step is completed the solution is electrochemically oxidized with resultant release of oxygen which is recovered. The solution is then electrochemically reduced bringing the oxygen carrier to its original condition and ready for reuse.
