How To Dispose Of Hydrogen Peroxide 3

On the disposal of hydrogen peroxide (3%)
Hydrogen peroxide is active and has the ability to oxidize. It is often stored in the world as a liquid of three centimeters, which is used for disinfection and bleaching. However, if it is left for a long time or improperly disposed of, it may cause accidents, so the disposal method should not be careless.

If you want to discard a small amount of hydrogen peroxide (3%), you can slowly pour it into the flowing water and make it blend with the water of the river to reduce its effectiveness. When dumping, you should avoid it in a secluded place, do not splash it on the person, and pay attention to the direction of the water flow to prevent it from gathering in one place and causing harm.

If there is a large amount, you should not dispose of it rashly. First find an open vessel and place it in a well-ventilated place without a source of ignition. Then sprinkle it with an appropriate amount of catalyst, such as manganese dioxide. If there is an effervescence, this is the appearance of hydrogen peroxide decomposing into water and oxygen. When the reaction stops, pour the remaining liquid into the running water as before.

When disposing, be sure to wear protective gear, such as gloves, eyepieces, etc., to prevent accidental contact, injury to the skin and eyes. And store in a cool and dry place, away from fire and heat sources, and do not equate with flammable materials and reducing agents, so as to avoid unexpected risks.

In short, the disposal of hydrogen peroxide (3%) should be based on prudence and follow the law to ensure safety and environmental integrity.
