Procedure

Hydrogen peroxide can be prepared, for example, by the anthraquinone process by means of which virtually the entire world production of hydrogen peroxide is prepared. This process is based on the catalytic hydrogenation of an anthraquinone compound to form the corresponding anthrahydroquinone compound, followed by reaction of this with oxygen to form hydrogen peroxide and subsequent extraction to separate off the hydrogen peroxide formed. The anthraquinone compound obtained back is hydrogenated again to close the catalysis cycle.
