Industrial hydrogen peroxide is another oxide of hydrogen besides water. It is a colorless and transparent liquid with a molecular formula of H2O2. Its viscosity is slightly higher than that of water, and its chemical properties are unstable. Generally, it is stored in the form of a 30% or 60% aqueous solution. Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties and is weakly acidic.
In chemical production, hydrogen peroxide (hydrogen peroxide) is used to prepare peroxides (such as sodium perborate, peracetic acid), epoxy compounds, drugs, etc. It is also used for the treatment of toxic wastewater, oxidation extrusion in the food industry, starch Denaturants, preservatives, bactericidal, etc., can have oxidative or reductive effects under different circumstances. Oxidizers, bleaching agents, disinfectants, dechlorinating agents can be used, and rocket fuels, organic or inorganic peroxides, foamed plastics and other porous substances can be used.
1. Industrial hydrogen peroxide with low concentration (such as 3%) is mainly used for sterilization and external medical purposes, such as wound disinfection
2. The best ratio for testing blood: 6% hydrogen peroxide plus 0.005% methylene blue. The experiment is used as raw material for making O2.
3. For industrial use (about 10% for higher concentrations), it is used in textile, leather, paper, and wood manufacturing industries as bleaching and deodorizing agents.
4. Hydrogen peroxide is also one of the components of hair dyes. It is also used as a material for synthesizing organic raw materials (catechol), medicine, metal surface treatment agent, polymerization initiator, etc. Can also be used as rocket propellant.
Chemical synthesis: initiators, foaming agents, plasticizers, main raw materials of peroxide series products for plastic products, etc.
