Hydrogen Peroxide vs Ozone

The debate between hydrogen peroxide and ozone
There are many ways to disinfect and purify things in the world. Hydrogen peroxide and ozone (Ozone) are both commonly used agents, with different effects and advantages and disadvantages.

Hydrogen peroxide is mild in nature and can be applied in many scenarios. Its appearance is colorless and transparent, just like water, but its power should not be underestimated. In the field of medical treatment, it is often used for debridement and disinfection, which can kill common bacteria and protect the health of the body. Because there is more water and oxygen after the reaction, there is little residual harm, and it is friendly to people and the environment. And it is relatively convenient to store and use. It can be stored in ordinary containers and diluted in proportion to be applied where needed.

Ozone is not the case. It has strong oxidizing properties, and its ability to disinfect and sterilize far exceeds that of hydrogen peroxide. In water treatment, it can quickly remove microorganisms and organic matter in the water, making the water clear. And its effect is rapid, and it can achieve high-efficiency purification in a short time. However, ozone is extremely unstable, and it needs to be used immediately after preparation, and because of its strong oxidizing properties, it is irritating to the human respiratory tract. When using it, it is necessary to ensure that the environment is well ventilated and well protected.

In terms of applicable scenarios, hydrogen peroxide is convenient and safe for small medical wound treatment and daily household cleaning. In large water treatment plants and air purification projects, the high efficiency of ozone shows its advantages, which can quickly purify a large number of fluids and improve environmental quality.

Although both are good agents for disinfection and purification, when using them, the pros and cons should be weighed according to the specific situation and needs, and the most suitable one should be selected in order to achieve its function and protect the environment and personal safety.
