“Can accelerated oxidation lead to a solution?”
Combustion
Nitrous oxide, injected into the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine both cools the intake air but also provides a boost of oxygen. When this additional oxygen is met with additional fuel, more power is produced.
Oxy-acetalyne torches mix fuel and pure oxygen to produce a high temperature flame that can cut metal.
Catalytic converters
Catalytic converters convert toxic gases and pollutants in the exhaust of internal combustion engines. The catalytic metal (usually platinum) helps oxygen interact with the noxious exhaust gases, accelerating oxidation.
