I saw #KS04 and thought KO2 (potassium superoxide).
...which is used in advanced SCUBA rebreathers.
Also in spacesuits (in my novel). https://twitter.com/B_M_Finnigan/status/851896592567123968 …

We breath air that is 20% 02. We exhale air that is 15% 02. In naive spacesuit design, we only use 1/4 of the 02 and throw it ALL away!

...and we're not touching the nitrogen at all! What a waste. In any market-based space colony, we'd surely scrub that exhaled air!

* before: 20% 02 * after: 15% 02 + 5% CO2 * KO2 processing -> 20% 02 CO2, N2, 02 are all valuable!
