On the principle of removing blood stains from hydrogen peroxide

Blood stains on clothes are quite annoying. And hydrogen peroxide has a significant effect on removing blood stains, and its theory is profound. Try to discuss it.

Blood stains mainly contain hemoglobin. Hemoglobin has an iron porphyrin structure, in which iron is crucial. Hydrogen peroxide, chemically called hydrogen peroxide, has a unique molecular structure and strong oxidation.

When hydrogen peroxide encounters blood stains, its oxidation plays a key role. Iron has a specific valence state in hemoglobin, and the strong oxidation of hydrogen peroxide can change the valence state of iron. The structure of hemoglobin is maintained by iron. When the valence state of iron changes, the structure of hemoglobin is damaged, and the order tends to be disordered. This is the first key to the removal of blood stains.

Furthermore, the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide produces oxygen. During the contact with blood stains, on the basis of the destruction of the hemoglobin structure, the oxygen produced forms tiny bubbles. This bubble continuously disturbs the contact between the clothing fibers and the blood stains, helping the blood stains to detach from the surface of the clothing fibers. And the generation of bubbles increases the fluidity of the local microenvironment, accelerates the diffusion of hemoglobin decomposition products, and makes it easier to remove blood stains from the clothing.

And because the products of hydrogen peroxide decomposition are water and oxygen, both of which are clean and have no harmful residues, it not only removes blood stains, but also does not cause secondary pollution to clothes, which is also one of its major advantages for removing blood stains.

In summary, hydrogen peroxide destroys the structure of hemoglobin with strong oxidation, decomposes oxygen-producing blood stains to help remove blood stains, and the decomposition products are clean and have no residues, so it can efficiently remove blood stains. This is the mechanism of hydrogen peroxide to remove blood stains.
