Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is widely used in almost all industrial areas, particularly in the chemical industry and environmental protection. The only degradation product of its use is water, and thus it has played a large role in environmentally friendly methods in the chemical industry. Hydrogen peroxide is produced on an industrial scale by the anthraquinone oxidation (AO) process. However, this process can hardly be considered a green method. It involves the sequential hydrogenation and oxidation of an alkylanthraquinone precursor dissolved in a mixture of organic solvents followed by liquid–liquid extraction to recover H2O2. The AO process is a multistep method that requires significant energy input and generates waste, which has a negative effect on its sustainability and production costs. The transport, storage, and handling of bulk H2O2 involve hazards and escalating expenses. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the simplest peroxide (a compound with an oxygen oxygen single bond). It is also a strong oxidizer. Hydrogen peroxide is a clear liquid, slightly more viscous than water. In dilute solution, it appears colorless. Due to its oxidizing properties, hydrogen peroxide is often used as a bleach or cleaning agent. The oxidizing capacity of hydrogen peroxide is so strong that it is considered a highly reactive oxygen species. Hydrogen peroxide is therefore used as a propellant in rocketry. Organisms also naturally produce hydrogen peroxide as a by product of oxidative metabolism. Consequently, nearly all living things (specifically, all obligate and facultative aerobes) possess enzymes known as catalase peroxidases, which harmlessly and catalytically decompose low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. Uses Hydrogen Peroxide is used primarily in paper pulp bleaching, as an oxidizing agent in the chemical industry, in the disinfection of food packaging, and in cleaning formulations for its bleaching and disinfectant properties. Hydrogen Peroxide is a highly versatile chemical used in various industries for bleaching, chemical synthesis, environmental control/effluent treatment, sterilization etc. The single most important constituent of Hydrogen Peroxide is the "active oxygen" that it provides in the aforementioned end uses. The "active oxygen" is obtained by the controlled decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide, with water as the by product. Market Survey The demand for Hydrogen Peroxide is expected to remain on a robust growth trajectory due the environment friendly nature of the product. This coupled with a strong demand in the end user industries, mainly paper and textile is expected to lead to firm trend. But capacity enhancement globally limits the upward move. Hydrogen peroxide is the most widely preferred bleaching and neutralizing agent. It finds major applications in paper and pulp, followed by cotton textiles etc. Besides, the demand growth is strong for water treatment applications. The biggest advantage of hydrogen peroxide is its environmental safety. As a result, hydrogen peroxide finds increasing applications in many other segments including electronics, mining, disinfection, water treatment etc. Oflate, HPPO (Hydrogen Peroxide to Propylene Oxide) technology, jointly developed and commercialized by BASF and DOW, wherein Hydrogen Peroxide is used to produce Propylene Oxide is gaining momentum.
