What is hydrogen peroxide?

Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) is an eco-friendly oxidising agent that only produces H 2 O and O 2 as by-products and has been applied in wastewater treatment, the paper industry, and pulp bleaching 1, 2, 3.

Is hydrogen peroxide an eco-friendly oxidant?

Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) is an eco-friendly oxidant and a promising energy source possessing comparable energy density to that of compressed H 2. The current H 2 O 2 production strategies mostly depend on the anthraquinone oxidation process, which requires significant energy and numerous organic chemicals.
