Abstract The article dwells on the possibility of production of high-concentrated hydrogen peroxide with the Russian technology of isopropyl alcohol autoxidation. Analysis of fire/explosion hazards and reasons of insufficient quality is conducted for the technology. Modified technology is shown. Non-standard fire/explosion characteristics required for integrated fire/explosion hazards rating for modified hydrogen peroxide production based on the autoxidation of isopropyl alcohol are defined.
Highlights High-concentrated hydrogen peroxide is a unique agent and can be used as a propellant. Modified technology of the production based on isopropyl alcohol autoxidation was developed. The main hazards of the process are determined. Potential risks include explosions, autoignition of the working mixture, forming dangerous agents. Characteristics required for integrated hazards rating for the production are defined.
