Hydrogen peroxide production

Hydrogen peroxide production

Hydrogen peroxide production

(OP)
Hi there colleagues

Does anyone have a short process description for H2O2? I also need to know what types of catalysts are used and so on to check the feasibility of making the stuff here in the Republic of SA.

Thanks and regards
Marius

RE: Hydrogen peroxide production

Look in the Kirk-Othmer encyclopedia.

RE: Hydrogen peroxide production

Go to the library...doubt too many people here have time to type in text from a book for you.

RE: Hydrogen peroxide production

Here is another source of information on process technology that some libraries have.
If you have a legitimate interest in the process you might contact them to discuss your needs.
This reference is a little outline.
Our technical library had both the Kirk-Othmer and the SRI process books.

RE: Hydrogen peroxide production

Doesn't H2O2 start from Na2O2?

Just as a reminder...
Please see FAQ731-376 for tips on how to make the best use of Eng-Tips Fora.

RE: Hydrogen peroxide production

Just for the record, my last post was not directed at anyone in particular and was not intended to criticize anyone.  Though it is just my opinion, I thought the link to the cheresources reference quite nicely addresses the original poster's query as written.

RE: Hydrogen peroxide production

I read a rather old book:
Wood W.S.,Hydrogen Peroxide,(1953),The Royal Institute
where you can find a description and developement of a H2O2 production from the electrolytic process to the auto oxydation routes. A direct synthesis is a matter of recent patents. Some shorter descriptions you can get in Encyclopedias like Kirk Othmer.
