Hydrogen Peroxide Solution, 50%, 490 mL

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is an extremely versatile chemical, best known for its important role in water quality and analysis. Its effectiveness as a disinfectant makes it an excellent alternative to chlorine in water and wastewater treatment, ensuring safer and cleaner water without the harmful by-products associated with chlorine. This adaptability extends to various analytical applications where it is used to maintain high standards of water purity and safety.

In water analysis, a 50% concentration of hydrogen peroxide is particularly noteworthy. It is used as a digestion reagent for Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) analysis, providing a reliable and environmentally friendly option. This specific concentration is featured in Hach's 2495300 and is an integral part of Method 8120 for silver analysis, highlighting its critical role in accurate and effective water quality assessments.

In addition, hydrogen peroxide is available in a 30% concentration, as seen in product 14411, further demonstrating its adaptability and importance in various water treatment and analysis applications. This concentration ensures that users have the flexibility to select the appropriate strength for their specific needs, while maintaining high standards of water quality and safety.
