Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide

(H2O2) is a very pale blue liquid, slightly more viscous than water, that appears colorless in dilute solution. Hydrogen Peroxide  has strong oxidizing properties, and is a powerful bleaching agent. Hydrogen Peroxide is used as a disinfectant, antiseptic, oxidizer, and in rocketry as apropellant. The oxidizing capacity of hydrogen peroxide is so strong that Hydrogen Peroxide is considered a highly reactive oxygen species.
Hydrogen peroxide is naturally produced in organisms as a by-product of oxidative metabolism. Nearly all living things (specifically, all obligate and facultative aerobes) possess enzymes known as peroxidases, which harmlessly and catalytically decompose low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.

PULP & Paper

This industry is the largest worldwide user of Hydrogen Peroxide, driven by public pressure and legislation to remove chlorine from the bleaching process.Hydrogen Peroxide is particularly efficient for bleaching mechanical, recycled and non-wood fibres, as well as supporting other reagents in Kraft bleaching.   

TEXTILES

Hydrogen Peroxide is the bleaching agent of choice for natural cellulose and animal fibres. Cotton, wool and silk all benefit from the high whiteness and low fibre damage of a Pasha bleach, coupled with a minimum of effluent problems.

FOOD, COSMETIC and HEALTH

Current uses include aseptic packaging, food bleaching and preservation, microbial control, hair products and pharmaceuticals.

WATER and EFFLUENT

Hydrogen Peroxide  is useful for swimming pool shock treatment, deodorising and emergency river and lagoon restoration after effluent spills.Many water applications benefit from advanced oxidation technologies which combine hydrogen peroxide with ultraviolet radiation, ozone or metal catalysts. These form powerful hydroxyl radicals which effectively destroy taste and odour molecules in drinking water, coloured dyes in textile effluents and a wide variety of organic pollutants.

SAFETY and HANDLING

Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidising agent.Active oxygen is liberated very slowly from pure, stabilised hydrogen peroxide but much more rapidly after gross contamination with metals, organics or alkalis. These properties require special precautions for safe handling and it is essential that users are familiar with these precautions or avail themselves of the services provided by Hydrogen Peroxide.
