How does the Oxygenator convert O to O+ O?
The O3 molecule is broken down into O2 and O1. The O1 recombines with another O1 to form elemental oxygen or O2. The metal oxide coating on the aluminum mesh matrix reacts catalytically with the O3 molecule to release a free oxygen atom and a diatomic oxygen molecule. Since the metal oxide is a catalyst it is not consumed, it simply facilitates the chemical reaction of O3 to O1 and O2.
