Abstract
The present invention relates to an organic working solution for photochemical hydrogen peroxide production, and a method for producing hydrogen peroxide by photo-autoxidation utilizing the organic working solution. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for producing hydrogen peroxide from an organic working solution in which oxidation of an aromatic alcohol and reduction of oxygen occur through photo-autoxidation of an aromatic carbonyl compound contained in the organic working solution, and the reduced oxygen.
Claims28
An organic working solution used for producing hydrogen peroxide by photo-autoxidation,
- wherein the organic working solution contains a mixture of an aromatic alcohol and an organic solvent, and
- the aromatic alcohol contains 0.1% to 0.2% by weight of an aromatic carbonyl compound based on the total weight of the aromatic alcohol.
A method for producing hydrogen peroxide by photo-autoxidation utilizing an organic working solution, comprising:
- preparing an organic working solution for photo-autoxidation and introducing the organic working solution into a reactor;
- supplying oxygen to the reactor to form an oxygen-saturated mixed solution;
- and
- irradiating the oxygen-saturated mixed solution with light to produce hydrogen peroxide.
