To liberate oxygen in the form CO/sub 2/ from solid inorganic oxygen-containing compounds it was proposed that their reaction with guanidine hydrohalides (GHC) be used. The yield of oxygen is 100% for most basic and amphoteric oxides. Salts of carbonic, sulfuric, boric and other acids react with GHE to give 100% yield of oxygen. Some polymorphous modifications of oxides (alpha-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and the like) and also nitrites and nitrates reaction non-quantitatively with GHC. The mechanisms of the reactions of GHC with oxides and carbonates have been studied. It was found that water is eliminated at the intermediate stage. The method is simple, economical and safe.
