How can I quickly reduce the oxygen content in a glove box?

To quickly reduce the oxygen content in a glove box, you can strengthen the seal, perform gas replacement, and inspect the purification system. Specific methods are as follows:
1) Inspect and strengthen the seal: Carefully inspect the glove box's seals, such as the gloves, door seals, and pipe connections. If you find damaged gloves, aged seals, or loose pipe connections, replace or tighten them immediately to ensure the glove box is properly sealed and prevent outside air from entering.
2) Perform gas replacement: Use a high-purity inert gas, such as nitrogen or argon, to perform multiple gas replacements in the glove box. Each time, first evacuate the air from the box and then refill it with inert gas. After a period of time to allow the gases to fully mix, repeat the evacuation and refilling operations. Repeat these steps to effectively reduce the oxygen content.
3) Inspect the purification system: Check the operating status of the purification system and check whether the adsorbent is saturated. If so, replace it with a new adsorbent, such as a molecular sieve or copper catalyst, to restore the purification system's oxygen removal capacity. At the same time, check the regeneration function for proper function. If any problems occur during the regeneration process, repair or adjust the equipment according to the equipment manual.
4) Use a circulating fan: Ensure the circulating fan is operating properly. The greater the fan flow, the faster the gas circulates, and the faster the oxygen content decreases. The circulating fan pushes the gas in the glove box continuously through the purification column, accelerating the adsorption and removal of oxygen.
5) Lower the temperature inside the glove box: Appropriately lowering the temperature inside the glove box can reduce the moisture content in the air and, to a certain extent, help reduce the oxygen content. However, be careful not to lower the temperature too low, as this will affect the experimental or production process.
6) Use high vacuum technology: If the glove box has a high vacuum function, high vacuum technology can be used to evacuate the air inside the box to a vacuum state. This helps to remove almost all oxygen, moisture, and other impurities. Then, refilling with high-purity inert gas can quickly reduce the oxygen content.
Elevated oxygen content during vacuum glove box operation is a common laboratory safety issue. To ensure the safety of laboratory operators and laboratory equipment, we should strengthen safety awareness, pay attention to experimental operation details, and promptly identify and resolve safety issues.
