This invention provides a process for producing hydrogen peroxide through catalytic reaction of oxygen with hydrogen in an aqueous medium in the presence of a platinum group metal catalyst, in which an organic solvent having only limited solubility with water and less hydrogen peroxide-dissolving ability compared to that of water is caused to be concurrently present in the reactor, and oxygen and hydrogen are catalytically reacted in an aqueous medium in the presence of a water- and organic solvent-insoluble, hydrophilic platinum group metal catalyst, under a low reaction pressure, to form high concentration aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution within a short time.

Process for producing hydrogen peroxide

The present invention provides a process for producing hydrogen peroxide by reacting oxygen and hydrogen in a reaction medium catalytically using, as a catalyst, a tin-modified platinum group metal supported on a carrier. In the process using said catalyst, the presence of halogen and acid in reaction medium is unnecessary unlike the prior art methods, and hydrogen peroxide of high concentration can be produced efficiently. Thus, the present process has no restriction for reactor material as seen the prior art methods and further allows for easy purification of produced hydrogen peroxide.

High purity cleaning system

A method for producing a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide by reacting oxygen and hydrogen directly in a neutral reaction medium that contains a promoter comprising a halogen containing compound, which halogen containing compound contains at least one halogen other than fluorine, at a reaction temperature in the range of from 0.degree. to 50.degree. C. and at a reaction pressure in the range of from 3 to 150 kg/cm.sup.2 .multidot.G in the presence of a platinum group metal catalyst supported on a catalyst carrier containing a heteropolyacid that has been made insoluble in water or a platinum group metal catalyst supported on a catalyst carrier comprising activated carbon that is supporting a heteropolyacid.

Method for producing hydrogen peroxide

Cleaning solution of semiconductor substrate

Oxygen and hydrogen are catalytically reacted in an acidic reaction medium in the presence of a platinum group metal catalyst to prepare hydrogen peroxide using as a carrier for the platinum group metal catalyst a composite oxide containing cerium. The process need not halogen ions in the acidic reaction medium and enables preparation of hydrogen peroxide in high concentration on an industrial scale advantageously.
