Boiling Hydrogen Peroxide Danger

On the danger of boiling hydrogen peroxide
If hydrogen peroxide is used, it is also a chemical substance. Its nature is lively and has strong oxidation ability. Ordinary people use it for daily use, and they rarely hear about boiling hydrogen peroxide, because it is dangerous and must be noticed.

When hydrogen peroxide is heated, it is prone to decomposition. The speed of its decomposition increases with the increase of temperature. When boiling, hydrogen peroxide quickly converts into water and oxygen, and in this process, energy accumulates and erupts suddenly. If it is done in a closed vessel, the volume of gas is in a narrow space, and the pressure increases sharply. If the bottom of the kettle is increased, the container will eventually be overwhelmed, and the danger of bursting will appear. Fragments will fly everywhere, hurting people and destroying things, and the disaster will be unpredictable.

And hydrogen peroxide is highly oxidizing, and when boiled, its molecular activity is even greater. If it comes into contact with surrounding objects, such as organic materials, metals, etc., it is easy to cause chemical reactions. In contact with organic people, it may cause the risk of combustion, and flames will rise and the fire will spread; in contact with metals, corrosion will intensify, damage appliances, and increase the complexity of the reaction, making the danger even greater.

Furthermore, the oxygen produced by boiling hydrogen peroxide, although necessary for life, is also a combustion agent in specific situations. If there are flammable substances in the environment, such as fibers, oil and gas, etc., when exposed to this oxygen-rich gas, it will ignite at the touch of a touch, and the fire will be fierce and difficult to contain.

From this perspective, boiling hydrogen peroxide is actually a dangerous matter. Those who operate this thing should be cautious, abide by chemical regulations, and avoid this dangerous move, so that they can be safe.
