Deoxidizers are substances or agents that are used to remove oxygen or oxidizing agents from a particular environment or medium. This is important in various industrial, chemical, and laboratory processes where the presence of oxygen may be undesirable, as it can lead to oxidation reactions that could degrade materials or affect the quality of a product. In metallurgy, for instance, deoxidizers are often added to molten metal to prevent the formation of oxides, which can weaken the final product.
