Hydrogen Peroxide Flammability

On the flammability of hydrogen peroxide
A universal thing, known as hydrogen peroxide. In the opinion of ordinary people, it is mostly used for disinfection and bleaching, and it is fresh to think about its flammability. However, the properties of hydrogen peroxide also involve flammable signs.

Hydrogen peroxide, its formula is $H_ {2} O_ {2} $, has strong oxidizing properties. When heated or in contact with certain substances, it can explain oxygen. Oxygen is also necessary to support combustion.

When the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is high, and the environment in which it is located has a source of fire or energy, the oxygen released by its decomposition can form a burning strip with the surrounding combustible things. Although hydrogen peroxide itself is not a traditional flammable substance, the oxygen generated can make other substances burn more intensely.

If hydrogen peroxide is not stored, transported, and used in a chemical industry, it will leak and encounter a source of fire. The rate of decomposition of oxygen is combined with the surrounding combustible gas and dust, etc., and the fire will start immediately, and the disaster will occur.

Therefore, those who use and manage hydrogen peroxide must be well aware of its ability to decompose oxygen to produce combustion, and strictly abide by the regulations to prevent the risk of fire. In production and storage places, monitoring devices and ventilation should be installed to avoid the accumulation of oxygen from the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, and prevent it from developing.

Although hydrogen peroxide is not commonly used to ignite, its potential to support combustion cannot be ignored. Be aware of its nature and use it carefully to ensure that everything goes smoothly and avoid disasters.
