Hydrogen peroxide (chemical formula H2O2) is one of the most versatile,
dependable, and environmentally desirable oxidizing agent available today.
Hydrogen Peroxide is considered an environmental friendly chemical because
after the use, it decomposes into water and oxygen, thus avoiding all after-treatment
problems associated with other oxidants.
The safety and simplicity of it's use - as an oxidizing agent and reducing
agent for municipal and industrial wastewater, for organic and inorganic
chemical processing, and for bleaching of textiles and paper pulp, to name
but a few - has led to the development of a great number of new applications,
a number that is expanding every day. In addition to its traditional usages,
Hydrogen Peroxide is now widely used in various environmental applications.
