Concentrating Hydrogen Peroxide

"On the Method of Concentrating Hydrogen Peroxide"

If you want to concentrate hydrogen peroxide, the method needs to be studied in detail. Hydrogen peroxide is active, and its concentration is limited in common states. However, for many purposes, high-concentration products are often required.

If you want to concentrate it, the first thing to consider is its physical properties. Hydrogen peroxide is easily divided when heated, so when it is concentrated, it should not be heated too much. When using a mild method, do it slowly.

You can choose a suitable device, and the material should not be mixed with hydrogen peroxide. Glass or special plastics are appropriate, because it is not easy to react with it, and the purity of hydrogen peroxide can be maintained.

When operating, it is better to be in a cool and ventilated place. If it is in a hot place, hydrogen peroxide is easy to decompose due to high temperature and lose its concentration.

Or use the method of decompression. Use a decompression device to reduce the air pressure of the environment, so that the boiling point of hydrogen peroxide also drops, and it can be vaporized and separated without a hot topic. Water vapor escapes, while hydrogen peroxide remains, and the concentration gradually rises. However, between operations, it is necessary to adjust the air pressure carefully, so as not to suddenly change the air pressure, causing the sudden decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, endangering safety.

Chemical adsorption can also be used. Select a specific substance, which can absorb water without phasing with hydrogen peroxide, and place hydrogen peroxide with it. Over time, the water is absorbed, and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is also increased. However, the adsorbed substance selected must be easily separated from hydrogen peroxide afterwards, and no impurities remain, so as not to contaminate its essence.

In short, to concentrate hydrogen peroxide, we must be careful and follow the scientific method to achieve its work, and obtain a suitable high concentration of hydrogen peroxide for all practical needs.
