Advanced Oxidation
Catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide
Advanced Oxidation technologies are an environmentally friendly approach to target contaminants, such as in waste water, and to remove toxic or non-degradable materials. It deals with the removal of aromatics, pesticides, petroleum constituents, and volatile organic compounds. A practical method of Advanced Oxidation involves hydrogen peroxide H2O2 to eliminate organic contaminants including petroleum hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons used as industrial solvents and cleaners.
Hydrogen peroxide H2O2 is a strong oxidizer. In a process of catalytic decomposition H2O2 can be converted into hydroxyl radicals (.OH) with extremely high oxidative reactivity. Hydroxyl radicals are able to decompose and mineralize organic and inorganic contaminants. Hydrogen peroxide is also used as an oxidizing agent in a variety of reactions in organic chemistry. Bleaching applications are also noteworthy, as hydrogen peroxide is able to replace chlorine-based bleaches.
Water decontamination and disinfection by advanced oxidation
Hydrogen Link has developed a heterogeneous type of catalyst for advanced oxidation processes, which provides very high efficiency combined with low cost. Our catalyst is stable and controllable, with unlimited shelf life. It can be stored and handled in air without deterioration and exhibits extraordinary capability in hydrogen peroxide decomposition in both alkaline and acidic condition. In these characteristics it is superior to Fenton reactions, which require pH adjustments. The catalyst can be used either for the Advanced Oxidation purposes, or as a very easy and convenient source of oxygen with H2O2.
