Hydrogen Peroxide: History, Properties and Uses

Hydrogen Peroxide: History, Properties and Uses The first synthetic peroxide was created in 1799 by Prussian scientist Alexander von Humboldt. This was barium peroxide, which was created as a byproduct of von Humboldt's air decomposition studies.

French chemist Louis Jacques Thénard utilised barium peroxide to create 'Eau oxygénée,' or oxygenated water, over two decades later. Hydrogen peroxide was later named after it. Chemists refined the methods and processes for producing hydrogen peroxide throughout the nineteenth century. Richard Wolffenstein, a German chemist, was the first to create pure hydrogen peroxide, using vacuum distillation to do so in 1894. PalviFZE is one of the most popular and distinct Hydrogen Peroxide suppliers in Ghana.

Properties: The most basic of all peroxides is hydrogen peroxide. It's mostly a colourless and clear liquid. In its purest form, though, it can appear pale blue. Palvi FZE is an excellent and noted Hydrogen Peroxide Exporter in Ghana.
