"On Hydrogen Peroxide"

Hydrogen peroxide, chemical name hydrogen peroxide, its chemical formula is $H_ {2} O_ {2} $. This substance has strong oxidation, clear color and light taste, liquid at room temperature, active nature, easy to decompose by heat, light or catalyst.

Looking at the preparation method, the anthraquinone method is mostly used. First hydrogenate anthraquinone, and then oxidize it to obtain hydrogen peroxide. Although the steps are complex, the process is mature and the yield is quite huge.

As for the application of hydrogen peroxide, it has a wide range of fields. In medicine, it is often used as a disinfectant, which can kill bacteria, prevent infection, and depends on wound treatment. If the skin is scratched or cut, rinse with an appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide to clean the wound and protect the body.

In the industry, hydrogen peroxide also occupies an important position. In the papermaking industry, it is used to bleach pulp to make paper white and uniform; in the textile field, it can bleach fabrics to increase their color and luster. And in chemical synthesis, it is an important raw material, and the preparation of many organic compounds requires its assistance.

At the level of environmental governance, the role of hydrogen peroxide should not be underestimated. During sewage treatment, it can degrade harmful substances and help water purification. Wastewater contains refractory organic matter, which can be turned into harmless substances by oxidation of hydrogen peroxide.

Although hydrogen peroxide is widely used, it should be used with caution. Because of its strong oxidation, if it comes into contact with the skin and eyes, it can cause burns. Therefore, when operating, follow safety procedures and wear protective equipment to ensure safety.

In general, hydrogen peroxide has significant functions in today's society. If used rationally, it can benefit human beings; if it is not treated carelessly, it may cause disaster. It is necessary for users to clarify their properties and make good use of them in order to do their best.
