1.) Could a boat produce PURE oxygen?
Not in large quantities it has become possible only to nuclear submarines because it requires a large amount of electricity.
On diesel submarines (after ww2) are manufactured oxygen using chlorine candles that contain sodium and potassium chlorate and that release oxygen for combustion.
One such candle can burn for an hour and produce 2.8 m3 of oxygen.
Oxygen is regularly added three times during the day and most mid-day when the consumption is greatest.

2.) Could the 'Alkalipatronen' be recovered during a patrol?
I could not be recovered because it is a very sensitive substances to external factors and it must be carefully handled.
