Concentrating H2O2

ISCGora - 29-3-2015 at 10:58

I know many people use boiling off water method which is not really ideal, but I've known the method of freezing(freeze the water that is contained in 3%solution and you get a block of ice and H2O2) for a while but wasn't sure what was the final concentration on H2O2.

Thanks!:)

Boiling it down is better than freezing it out as far as yids are concerned. I think 15% w/w is the best you can get from freezing.

And search some more. Probably one of the top 15 topics covered on this forum involves ways to concentrate peroxide.

For hydrogen peroxide of 35% conc., I'm inclined to follow the path of least resistance!

Personally, I tried with evaporating instead of boiling. I would heat it to 80 to 90 C and let it sit until cool and repeat. Density went from 1.00 g/cm3 to 1.07 / 1.08.

I just stuck a bottle of 3% hydrogen peroxide in the freezer for a while, and I actually got a small flow of liquid as soon as I took it out of the freezer. It certainly seemed pretty viscous compared to water, and when added to a beaker containing 31.45% hydrochloric acid and some copper it heated up and reacted the copper pretty quickly.

Thanks for info.Yesterday I used two batches of 1L(3%)

First one i used evaporation and after I tested it it was very near 10M.Which is pretty good

Second one I used freezing didn't work out so well it was something like 4M which is far worst.
