Manufacturing Process
There are two main methods to produce H2O2 as described below:
Method 1: Auto-oxidation of ethyl anthraquinones in a solvent such as toluene or ethylbenzene. The product ethyl anthraquinone is reduced by hydrogen over supported nickel or platinum catalyst to regenerate back the starting material, ethyl anthraquinone for continuous production of H2O2.
Method 2: Electrolytic conversion of aqueous sulfuric acid to peroxydisulfate followed by hydrolysis to H2O2. This is also known as the Weissenstein process.
Disinfection and Sterilization:
- Widely employed as a disinfectant for surfaces, equipment, and medical instruments.
- Used in healthcare settings to sterilize and sanitize surfaces, promoting aseptic conditions.
Water Treatment:
- Applied for water purification in industrial settings to eliminate bacteria and contaminants.
- Used in wastewater treatment processes to control microbial growth and improve water quality.
Cleaning and Household Use:
- Formulated into household cleaners to disinfect surfaces, including kitchen and bathroom areas.
- Employed for mold and mildew removal due to its antimicrobial properties.
Textile Industry:
- Utilized as a bleach in the textile industry to whiten and disinfect fabrics.
- A key component in the production of certain dyes and chemicals used in textile processes.
