Hydrogen Peroxide Bacteria Killing

On the Principle of Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilization
Hydrogen peroxide can also kill bacteria. The reason why it can be so is that it is active and highly oxidizing.

When hydrogen peroxide encounters bacteria, its molecules crack and release new oxygen. This new oxygen is extremely active and stronger than ordinary oxygen. The body of bacteria has many components, such as proteins, nucleic acids, etc. When new oxygen encounters each other, it oxidizes. When a protein encounters oxidation, its structure changes, and it loses its regularity and can no longer perform its physiological functions. Nucleic acid is oxidized, its genetic code is messed up, and bacteria cannot multiply and multiply.

And when hydrogen peroxide is sterilized, its reaction products are mostly water and oxygen, which are clean things, do not pollute the environment, and are harmless to other things. Therefore, it is used for medical disinfection, which can heal wounds and prevent bacteria from being infected; for food processing, it can keep food fresh and remove harmful bacteria; it is also used for environmental cleaning, so that there is no bacteria in the place.

When using hydrogen peroxide for sterilization, caution is also required. Its concentration is different, and its sterilization power is different. If the concentration is too high, although the sterilization power is strong, it may hurt beneficial things and cause burns on human skin. Therefore, according to the purpose and place of its use, the appropriate concentration must be selected to maximize its sterilization ability and avoid its harm.

In general, hydrogen peroxide sterilization depends on its strong oxidizing properties and its cleanliness. Only when it is used for review can it obtain its advantages and avoid its disadvantages.
