Hydrogen Peroxide
Disinfection:
Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful disinfectant that can eliminate bacteria, viruses, and fungi in water. It's particularly useful in drinking water treatment, especially where chlorine-resistant pathogens are a concern.
Contaminant Removal:
It oxidizes and removes various contaminants, including iron, sulfur, and hydrogen sulfide, which can cause odors and taste problems. The oxidation process converts these contaminants into solid particles that can be easily filtered out.
Wastewater Treatment:
In wastewater treatment, hydrogen peroxide helps reduce BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) and COD (chemical oxygen demand) by oxidizing organic pollutants. It also enhances the efficiency of biological treatment processes.
Industrial Processes:
It's used in various industrial applications, including chemical synthesis, bleaching, and effluent treatment, to improve water quality and meet environmental regulations.
Cooling Towers and Process Water:
Hydrogen peroxide can be used for shock treatment or for routine maintenance cleaning of fouled heat exchangers and cooling water loops.
Algae Control:
In ponds and other water bodies, hydrogen peroxide can be used to control algae growth.
Drinking Water Treatment:
It can be added to drinking water to oxidize taste and odor-causing compounds, improving the overall quality of the water.
Well Water Treatment:
Hydrogen peroxide is effective in removing iron and sulfur from well water, addressing common issues like unpleasant odors and staining
