I've got curious - is there any chemical reaction (except burning/oxidation) that could remove O2 from normal air?
Googled a little, and found this article on Phys.org..

Sounds too good to be true, and if it's not yet another scientific dud, I wish I had some of it. Throw it into some confined space or bag and enjoy pure nitrogen....

New material steals oxygen from the air
September 30, 2014, University of Southern Denmark

Researchers from the University of Southern Denmark have synthesized crystalline materials that can bind and store oxygen in high concentrations. Just one spoon of the substance is enough to absorb all the oxygen in a room. The stored oxygen can be released again when and where it is needed.


The material is so effective at binding oxygen, that only a spoon of it is enough to suck up all the oxygen in a room. The researchers' work indicates that the substance can absorb and bind oxygen in a concentration 160 times larger than the concentration in the air around us.

Etc etc...
