Safe Disposal Hydrogen Peroxide
On the safe disposal of peroxides
Peroxides are strong and lively, and have many applications in chemical industry. However, their disposal methods are related to safety and cannot be ignored.
Hydrogen peroxide is a common type of peroxide. Its properties are highly oxidizing, and it is easy to decompose when exposed to heat, light, and impurities. When decomposed, a large amount of gas may be generated, causing a sudden rise in pressure and the risk of deflagration. Therefore, its safe disposal should first be stored in a suitable storage. Choose a cool, dry, and ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, and away from fire and heat sources. The reservoir must also be corrosion-resistant and sealed to prevent leakage and deterioration.
If hydrogen peroxide needs to be disposed of, it should not be dumped at will. It is advisable to measure its concentration first, and choose the method of disposal according to its amount. If the concentration is low, it can be slowly poured into a large amount of flowing water, stirred at the same time, so that it can be fully diluted, and then follow up according to the regulations of wastewater treatment. If the concentration is high, it should not be diluted rashly. First, use an appropriate amount of catalyst, such as manganese dioxide, to decompose it slowly. The decomposed place should be open and well ventilated, and the operator must wear protective gear to prevent the sudden increase of oxygen generated by decomposition and the splashing of hydrogen peroxide. When it is decomposed, follow-up disposal such as dilution, neutralization, etc. should be carried out according to the situation.
In experiments or production, the remaining hydrogen peroxide should not be ignored. When in accordance with regulations, temporarily store in the designated device, clearly marked, to be collected uniformly, and disposed of in accordance with regulations. Do not mix with other chemicals to avoid unexpected reactions.
All matters involving hydrogen peroxide disposal should be cautious, in accordance with scientific laws, and abide by safety regulations. In this way, disasters can be avoided, production can be smooth, and personnel can be protected.
