oxygen scavenger
Removes dissolved gas
An oxygen scavenger is a substance that removes or absorbs oxygen from its environment to prevent oxidation.
In food packaging, oxygen scavengers extend shelf life by eliminating the oxygen that would cause spoilage.
Industrial applications include boiler water treatment, where scavengers prevent corrosion: The system uses sodium sulfite as an oxygen scavenger.
