Hydrogen Peroxide Rubbing Alcohol Mix
Discussion on the Mixing of Hydrogen Peroxide and Medical Alcohol
In recent times, in the matter of medical science and chemistry, people often study the effect of mixing hydrogen peroxide with medical alcohol. Hydrogen peroxide, with strong oxidizing properties, can break the structure of microorganisms to achieve the effect of disinfection and sterilization. Medical alcohol, mostly ethanol solutions, can denature proteins, and is also a commonly used disinfectant.
However, when the two are mixed, do not act rashly. Cover hydrogen peroxide in contact with organic matter or some catalysts, it is easy to decompose and release oxygen. Ethanol of medical alcohol is a flammable organic matter. If the two are mixed, or the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide causes ethanol to burn, it can even cause the risk of explosion.
And from the perspective of disinfection principle, although both can be disinfected, the mode of action is different. Hydrogen peroxide destroys microorganisms by the power of oxidation, and alcohol denaturates proteins. After mixing, or interfering with each other, the disinfection effect will not increase but decrease.
Therefore, doctors and users should be cautious when mixing hydrogen peroxide with medical alcohol. You must first understand the reason and examine the situation before you can act, so as to avoid accidents and protect the safety of people and property. Never act on your imagination, but use it in accordance with scientific methods to get the right way to disinfect.
