1. Is industrial hydrogen peroxide toxic?
Industrial production has finished products of 27.5%, 35%, 50%, and other specifications.
Industrial hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidant, which can cause violent decomposition or even explosion when exposed to direct sunlight or mixed with impurities such as dust. In addition, long-term contact with flammable materials such as wood chips and fibers can also cause spontaneous combustion.
Industrial hydrogen peroxide has a bleaching and burning effect on the skin. Its vapors cause tearing and irritate the mucous membranes of the nose and throat.
Second, the role and scope of use of industrial hydrogen peroxide
1. Mainly used for sterilization and external medical purposes, such as wound disinfection.
2. The best ratio for a blood test: 6% hydrogen peroxide plus 0.005% methylene blue.
3. Higher concentrations (greater than 10%) are used in textile, leather, paper, and wood manufacturing industries as bleaching and deodorizing agents.
4. Hydrogen peroxide is also one of the components of hair dyes. It is also used as a raw material for synthesizing organic raw materials (catechol), medicine, metal surface treatment agents, polymerization initiators, etc., and can also be used as a rocket propellant.
Industrial hydrogen peroxide (hydrogen peroxide) is slightly thicker than water and chemically unstable. It is generally stored as a 30% or 60% aqueous solution. Its aqueous solution is commonly known as hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing and weak acidity.
