Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of hydrogen peroxide by the anthraquinone process, comprising the oxidation of a hydrogenated organic working solution for the formation of hydrogen peroxide and the extraction of the hydrogen peroxide into an aqueous phase, the oxidation and the extraction being carried out in the same space by directing into one and the same reactor (1) a hydrogenated organic working solution, an oxygen-containing gas and an aqueous extraction solvent in order to form a mixture of three phases, i.e., an organic phase, a gas phase and an aqueous phase, whereby the dissolving of the oxygen in the working solution and the oxidation reaction in the working solution, as well as the transfer of the hydrogen peroxide to the aqueous phase are achieved, whereafter the product leaving the reactor is subjected to phase separation (2) for the recovery of an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide. The invention also relates to the use of this process in parallel with a conventional process for the preparation of hydrogen peroxide.
