Patent

CA 2465487

The present invention is directed to a photolytic cell (16), and to a photolytic artificial lung (10) incorporating such a cell (16). The photolytic artificial lung (10) converts water to oxygen for blood absorption, regulates pH, removes carbon dioxide, and co-produces electrical power. The photolytic artificial lung (10) includes a photolytic cell (16) where all of the chemical reactions occur. Additionally, the present invention relates to photolytically sensitive materials for oxygen generation. These materials are useful for gas- free artificial lung fabrication. The photolytic cell (16) disclosed herein can also be used to direct chemical reactions in organs other than the lung. It can also be used to maintain breathing air in confined systems.

La présente invention concerne une module photolytique, ainsi qu'un poumon artificiel photolytique contenant ledit module. Ledit poumon artificiel photolytique transforme l'eau en oxygène en vue de son adsorption par le sang, régule le pH, élimine le dioxyde de carbone, et co-produit de l'énergie électrique. Ledit poumon comprend un module photolytique, dans lequel toutes les réactions chimiques se produisent. De plus, la présente invention concerne des matériaux sensibles photolytiquement servant à générer de l'oxygène. Lesdits matériaux sont utiles pour la fabrication de poumons artificiels sans gaz. Ledit module photolytique peut être utilisé dans des réactions chimiques directes dans d'autres organes que les poumons, et peut être utilisé pour maintenir l'air respirable dans des systèmes confinés.
