Hydrogen Peroxide: The Powerhouse Oxidizer

As simple as it may seem, the treatment of wastewater is as diverse and complicated as the operations from which it comes. In today’s environment, where merely transferring contaminants from one medium to another is no longer acceptable, it is no surprise that a powerful oxidizer like hydrogen peroxide that looks like water — in its appearance, chemical formula and reaction products — should be so widely used. This is hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) — a powerful yet versatile oxidant that is both safe and effective in wastewater treatment.
