Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an oxygen scavenger capable of shortening deoxygenation time since an initial oxygen absorbing rate is high by a method wherein the oxygen scavenger is prepared with iron powder of partially oxidizing a surface wherein an oxygen content and a specific surface area are respectively made to have specific values, and an electrolyte. SOLUTION: In an oxygen scavenger used for preservation of an article liable to receive an influence of oxygen, a principal oxygen absorbing composition is composed of iron powder and electrolyte, and a principal agent iron powder uses a reaction wherein oxygen is absorbed under coexistence of water and the electrolyte. In this case, as the iron powder, raw material iron powder wherein a surface of which an oxygen content is 0.7 to 7 wt.% and a specific surface area is 200 to 2000 m<2> /kg, is partially oxidized, is used. The oxygen scavenger is obtained by coating the iron powder with 0.1-4 wt.% of the electrolyte. Then, partially oxidation of the iron powder is executed by making the iron powder under coexistence of the electrolyte react with oxygen in the atmosphere. For example, a mixture of iron powder and powder or granular electrolyte (0.1 to 10 wt.% to the iron powder) is partially oxidized by a method wherein the mixture is mixed by stirring for a specific time at ordinary temperature in the atmosphere at 60% or over humidity or under warming.
