The transport container for concentrated hydrogen peroxide comprises: a cuboid carrier frame; a liquid container provided inside the carrier frame () and frictionally connected thereto, said container having an internal volume of between 65 and 500 I and consisting of pure aluminium, chromium-nickel steel, a nickel-based alloy, or a steel coated with a polyolefin or clad on the inner face; a pressure equalisation device and a pressure relief valve, both of which are provided on the upper face of the liquid container; and at least one sealable opening of the liquid container for the charging and/or removal of hydrogen peroxide.

Transport container for concentrated hydrogen peroxide

In a cyclic anthraquinone process for producing hydrogen peroxide, which comprises a distillation unit with vapor compression for concentrating hydrogen peroxide, aqueous condensate from the distillation unit is passed over a bed of a cation exchange resin in its protonated from to provide a purified condensate, and the purified condensate is used as extractant for extracting hydrogen peroxide in the anthraquinone process, as column reflux for the distillation unit or as a diluent for diluting an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution.

Device and process for producing hydrogen peroxide by an anthraquinone process

An aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution containing i) less than 50 wppm alkali metals, alkaline earth metals or combinations thereof in total, irrespective whether the alkali or alkaline earth metals are present in cationic or complex form; ii) less than 50 wppm of amines having a pkof less than 4.5 or the corresponding protonated compounds in total; and iii) at least 100 wppm anions or compounds that can dissociate to form anions in total, where the wppm are based on the weight of hydrogen peroxide and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is more than 50% by weight based on the total weight of the hydrogen peroxide solution. A process for preparation of said hydrogen peroxide solution and the use of said solution in a process for epoxidation of olefins is also disclosed.

Aqueous hydrogen peroxide solutions and method of making same

The invention concerns a process for the preparation of hydrogen peroxide by the anthraquinone cyclic process. The process includes a regeneration stage in which working solution is regenerated by being brought into contact with an aqueous solution containing an alkyl anthrahydroquinone and/or an alkyl tetrahydroanthrahydroquinone in deprotonated form. The working solution regenerated in the regeneration stage is returned to the cyclic process.

Process for the preparation of hydrogen peroxide by the anthraquinone cyclic process

The invention relates to a process for the production of hydrogen peroxide by the anthraquinone process, comprising a hydrogenation stage, an oxidation stage and an extraction stage. According to the invention, catalytic hydrogenation of anthraquinone derivatives dissolved in a working solution is carried out in the presence of added molecular oxygen. Per mol hydrogen, 0.1 to 10 mmol oxygen is preferably introduced into the hydrogenation stage with the hydrogenating gas, in mixture with an inert gas and/or dissolved and/or dispersed in the working solution. This increases the residence time of the catalyst.

Process for the production of hydrogen peroxide

A cyclic anthraquinone process for producing hydrogen peroxide using at least two differently substituted 2-alkylanthraquinones and/or their tetrahydro derivatives. The working solution to be used contains (i) at least one reaction carrier from the series 2-(4-methyl-3-pentenyl) anthraquinone (IHEAQ), 2-(4-methylpentyl) anthraquinone (IHAQ) and their di- and tetrahydro derivatives such as, in particular 2-(4-methylpentyl)-.beta.-tetrahydroanthraquinone (THIHAQ), and (ii) at least one reaction carrier from the series of the 2-(C.sub.1 - to C.sub.5)-alkylanthraquinones, especially 2-ethylanthraquinone (EAQ), and their tetrahydro derivatives. The reaction carriers according to (i) make up 5 to 95 molar %, especially 20 to 50 molar % of all reaction carriers. The method is distinguished by greater H.sub.2 O.sub.2 capacity, improved hydrogenation kinetics and lesser susceptibility to disturbances. A method for making THIHAQ is also disclosed.
