Product Description

Trioctyl phosphate has the following functions in hydrogen peroxide production:

1. Extraction agent
In the process of producing hydrogen peroxide by anthraquinone method, trioctyl phosphate is one of the commonly used extraction agents. In the process of producing hydrogen peroxide by anthraquinone method, an organic phase containing hydrogen peroxide is generated, and hydrogen peroxide needs to be transferred from the organic phase to the aqueous phase for subsequent separation and purification. Trioctyl phosphate has good extraction performance for hydrogen peroxide. It can selectively extract hydrogen peroxide from the organic phase into the aqueous phase to achieve the separation of hydrogen peroxide from other organic substances. Moreover, trioctyl phosphate has suitable physical and chemical properties, such as low solubility with water and a certain difference in density with water, which is conducive to the stratification of aqueous phase and organic phase after extraction, and facilitates subsequent separation operations.

2. Solvent
Trioctyl phosphate can be used as a solvent to dissolve anthraquinone compounds and other substances involved in the hydrogen peroxide production reaction. In the reaction system, it can provide a uniform medium for the relevant chemical reactions, so that the reactants can be fully contacted and mixed, which is conducive to the reaction. For example, dissolving anthraquinone in trioctyl phosphate to form a uniform solution can increase the reaction rate and reaction efficiency between anthraquinone and other reactants and promote the generation of hydrogen peroxide. At the same time, as a solvent, trioctyl phosphate can also adjust the physical properties of the reaction system such as viscosity and polarity, optimize the reaction environment, and help control the progress of the reaction and the quality of the product.

3. Defoaming agent
During the production of hydrogen peroxide, a large amount of foam is easily generated due to the reaction and the stirring of materials. The presence of foam will affect the normal progress of the reaction, such as hindering the exchange of gases and reducing the effective volume of the reaction equipment. Trioctyl phosphate has a certain defoaming performance, which can reduce the surface tension of the liquid and break the foam, thereby effectively eliminating the foam generated in the production process and ensuring the smooth operation of the production process.

4.Improve product quality
Through its extraction, solvent and other functions, trioctyl phosphate helps to improve the purity and quality of hydrogen peroxide. It can effectively separate and remove impurities in the production process, so that the final hydrogen peroxide product meets the relevant quality standards and usage requirements. Moreover, trioctyl phosphate is relatively stable during the production process and will not introduce new impurities or have adverse effects on the properties of hydrogen peroxide, thus ensuring the quality stability of hydrogen peroxide products.
