STORAGE OF 90% AND 98% BY WEIGHT HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IN SEALED CONTAINERS FOR EXTENDED PERIODS

Abstract

Storage of H2O2 in sealed storage containers was studied. Four grades of Becco H2O2 were evaluated: Commercial 90% by weight H2O2, propulsion 90% by weight H2O2, Commercial 98% by weight H2O2, and propulsion 98% by weight H2O2, in 1 gal capacity TFE Teflon bladders contained in mild steel test tanks at 70-72 F for 5 months, 120 F for 7 days, and 165 F for 72 hr. The bladders were not as compatible as desired due to bleaching and crack development experienced with this dispersion-type Teflon. Tests showed the O loss from the H2O2 during the storage period can be decreased by improved passivation techniques, surface pre-treatment techniques and improved stabilizers for the H2O2. An O absorbent bag in the H2O2 tank proved nonrewarding due to breakdown of the absorbent solution. The most promising test results were obtained with the 98% Propulsion H2O2 containing stabilizer P.
