Chemistry
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a weakly acidic, colourless liquid, miscible with water in all
proportions.
It is the simplest peroxide (molecules containing two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to one another) and is commercially available in aqueous solution over
a wide concentration range.
The main uses of hydrogen peroxide are in the preparation of other peroxides and as an oxidising agent.
The manufacturing process involves the catalysis of the reaction of H2 (obtained from processing Maui Gas) with atmospheric O2 to give H2O2. Anthraquinone (Q) is used as a
H2 carrier.
Step1 – Hydrogenation
Palladium catalyses the reaction between H2 and anthraquinone to create anthrahydroquinone (H2Q):
Q + H2 → H2Q
Step 2 – Filtration
The palladium catalyst is filtered out of the solution.
Step 3 – Oxidation
The solution is oxidised by blowing air through the solution, forming the H2O2:
H2Q + O2 → Q + H2O2
Step 4 – H2O2 Extraction
The hydrogen peroxide is removed in a liquid-liquid extraction column and concentrated by vacuum distillation.
