Institut hydrogen peroxide synthesis

A few fundamental studies have also been reported on the topic of hydrogen peroxide synthesis by direct combination of H2 and 02 in a microreactor. A recent contribution ofVoloshin et al. [86] from the Stevens Institute ofTechnology shows the first results on the role of reaction conditions. A maximum concentration of 1.3 wt% H202 was achieved. Further studies are necessary, but this interesting direction warrants further investigation.

In 1979 Yuri Yermakov, at the Catalysis Institute of Novosibirsk, in Russia, described a new synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from carbon monoxide, oxygen and water (Reaction 15.5) ...
