Can I Dump Hydrogen Peroxide Down The Drain
On whether hydrogen peroxide can be dumped into the sewer
Recently, one thing is doubtful, that is, whether hydrogen peroxide can be dumped directly into the sewer? This question is related to the safety of the environment and facilities, and cannot be ignored.
The chemical name of hydrogen peroxide is hydrogen peroxide, which is highly oxidizing. At ordinary concentrations, its properties are still stable, and it is easy to decompose and release oxygen and heat in case of impurities, heat or catalysts. If it is dumped into the sewer, there are many sundries in the sewer, and there are many catalysts that can be used as catalysts, which makes the hydrogen peroxide quickly separate and release a large amount of oxygen. Oxygen accumulation, or cause the pressure in the pipeline to rise sharply, lightly damage the pipeline, and can cause explosion and endanger the surrounding areas.
And hydrogen peroxide is corrosive to a certain extent. Although it is weaker than strong acid and alkali, it can also be eroded when it comes into contact with the sewer pipe wall for a long time. Pipes made of cast iron, plastic and other materials are eroded by it, and their lifespan is shortened, which is easy to cause leakage and rupture.
Furthermore, from the perspective of environmental protection, the hydrogen peroxide flowing into the sewer may affect the microbial activity of the sewage treatment system. Microorganisms are crucial in sewage treatment. The strong oxidation of hydrogen peroxide may destroy the balance of sewage treatment, making it difficult to purify the sewage up to the standard, and then pollute rivers, lakes and seas, harming the ecological environment.
In summary, hydrogen peroxide cannot be easily dumped into the sewer. If it needs to be handled, it should be handled in accordance with chemical disposal regulations or contact a professional organization to ensure safety and environmental integrity.
