Flammability of Hydrogen Peroxide
"On the flammability of hydrogen peroxide"
The properties of various things are different. Among all chemical things, hydrogen peroxide has a special nature.
Hydrogen peroxide, its quality is colorless and transparent, and it is commonly found in the world. However, it is well known that it has oxidizing properties and is widely used in disinfection and bleaching. However, its flammability may be unknown.
Those who are flammable can catch fire and burn when exposed to open flames, hot topics and other conditions. Although hydrogen peroxide is not a common flammable substance, it will ignite in case of fire, but it should be in a specific environment, and it is also at risk of explosion.
If the concentration is extremely high, and the space is narrow, the air circulation is not smooth, once the heat source is induced, the hydrogen peroxide may decompose, releasing a large amount of heat and oxygen. Oxygen, the thing that supports combustion, when heat and oxygen come together, the fire will start, and even cause deflagration. This is not speculation, and there are experiments and examples to prove it.
In the past, those who used this thing did not follow its rules, causing the hydrogen peroxide with high concentration to meet the slight heat, react instantly, and the flame will suddenly appear, which is dangerous. Therefore, when handling hydrogen peroxide, it is necessary to carefully observe its nature, treat it with caution, and prevent it from happening before it emerges. It must not be used for its usual use, and neglect its potential flammability, resulting in unexpected disasters. Only by understanding its nature and acting carefully can we use its benefits and avoid its harm.
