The Anthraquinone Process for H2O2 Manufacture

General Process Description Hydrogenation-An alkyl anthraquinone is dissolved then

Hydrogen gas is blown and with the aid of palladium the anthraquinone hydrolizes.

Filtration- The solution is filtered to remove the catalyst.

Oxidation – The hydrogenated anthraquinone is blown with air to oxidize it.

Extraction- The solution is forced up a tower where demineralized water is flowed down. When they meet the hydrogen peroxide dissolves in water.
