Tetrasodium pyrophosphate peroxidate can be crystallized as a hydrogen-peroxide-bound salt from the solution of tetrasodium pyrophosphate and hydrogen peroxide. The antimicrobial activity and stability of the compound were tested for the use as a food preservative. It showed antimicrobial activities against several food spoilage microorganisms at the concentration of 0.1% (w/v), and was stable for 80 days in room temperature as a form of 70% hydrogen-peroxide-bound tetrasodium pyrophosphate peroxidate. It was also stable at the boiling temperature but decomposed significantly in the presence of metal ions. The compound can be an effective food preservative at the 0.2% (w/v) concentration, which contains 0.03% (v/v) hydrogen peroxide. The compound could be commercialized if the application area and usage direction as well as the removal method of hydrogen peroxide were developed.

Due to rapid consumption of hydrogen peroxide, large amount of hydrogen peroxide is required when Fenton reaction is applied to the contaminated soil. In this study, acetate was employed as a ligand of $Fe^{2+}$ to enhance the efficiency of removal of phenanthrene by securing the stability of hydrogen peroxide. 0.5 ${\sim}$ 3 times of acetate (2${\sim}$12mM) was added to compare with molar concentration of $Fe^{2+}$. Low initial concentration of hydrogen peroxide was 0.7% to eliminate side effect of removal efficiency. The results showed that hydrogen peroxide lifetime was lasted up to 72 hours, or more than 50 times of normal lifetime. Phenanthrene removal efficiency was improved up to 70% due to stabilized hydrogen peroxide. Ferrous ion was oxidized to ferric ion and oxidation-reduction was repeated during the reaction. Finally ferric ion was reduced to ferrous by $HO_2$. It was confirmed that, due to the influence of hydrogen peroxide, pH was acid region and it remained at the range of 4 ${\sim}$ 5 when 8 mM or more of acetate was added. Acetate which was used as the ligand of Fe was also decomposed by Fenton reaction. The decomposition time of acetate was slower than phenanthrene. Therefore, it was able to come to the conclusion that phenanthrene was superior to acetate at the competition for decomposition. Through the results of this study, it was able to identify the possibilities to improve the efficiency of Fenton reaction in the contaminated soil and its economic feasibility, and to move to more realistic technique through research expanded to neutral pH region.

A construction process of hydrogen peroxide supply system was investigated to use hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizer of bi-propellant liquid rocket engine. To use hydrogen peroxide as a rocket propellant, it has to be in high concentration over 90%. It is very important to make the supply system free of pollutants, because highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide has a characteristic of hypersensitive reaction to pollutants such as dust and oil sludge. We suggested the cleaning and passivation process of main components to minimize pollutants of the supply system. In conclusion, we verified stability of the constructed supply system by leak test and hot test.

Into the precontaminated farm milk hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O$$_2$) was added at the concentrations ranging from 0.01％ to 0.05％ and kept at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 16 hours with periodical determinations for viable counts, residual $H_2O$$_2$, and lactic acid. Under the tested conditions the initial level of contaminated bacteria could be arrested from growing at least for 8, 12, and 16 hours by treating the milk with 0.01, 0.02. and 0.03 per cent of $H_2O$$_2$, respectively. Furthermore, when the $H_2O$$_2$concentrations ware limited within the level of 0.03 Per cent the added $H_2O$$_2$was completely decomposed within 12 hours without the aid of external catalase and the decomposition time decreased in parallel with the $H_2O$$_2$ concentrations. A safer use of $H_2O$$_2$for preserving farm milk temporarily by limiting its concentration has been discussed.

Traditional propellants which have a hypergolic characteristic have a high performance but also have disadvantages of toxicity and complex handling requirement. In order to replace these propellants, one of the alternatives is hydrogen peroxide which generates high temperature oxygen and water vapor after catalytic reaction. In this paper, autoignition characteristics of kerosene by decomposed hydrogen peroxide were investigated to perform fundamental research for designing a thruster using hydrogen peroxide and kerosene propellants. Contraction ratio, whether flame holder exists or not, and feeding pressure of propellants were selected as variables. From the experiments for different mixture ratio, we confirmed the ignition stability is strongly affected by a feeding pressure of propellants.

It is difficult to remedy tailings and soils including arsenic because arsenic compounds show anionic behaviour in natural condition and have chemical diversity by Eh/pH. This study was carried out to develop immobilization method of arsenic and iron in tailings and soils into ferric arsenate using hydrogen peroxide. According to experimental results, concentrations of arsenic and iron extracted from tailing of closed Gubong mine were reduced up to 84% and 93%, respectively. in this experiment. arsenic concentration decreased with an increase of hydrogen peroxide dosage. It was also showed that only 10% of arsenic and 20% of iron were extracted from the re-extraction experiments. Therefore, soil and tailing remedied by this method will be able to maintain long-time stability.

현재 병원에서 사용하는 치아미백은 고농도의 과산화수소와 carbamide peroxide가 함유된 미백제를 이용하여 전문성을 가진 의사가 직접 시술을 하고 있다 [1]. 과산화수소의 농도가 높을수록 미백효과가 높지만 [2] 과산화수소의 농도가 지나치게 높으면 인체에 유해하다 [3,4]. 따라서, 고농도의 과산화수소가 함유된 미백제의 사용은 전문가만 시술할 수 있도록 이를 제한하고 있다. 이로 인해, 일반 가정용으로 판매되는 다양한 미백제품들은 저농도(최대6%)의 과산화수소가 함유되어 있으며 장기간 지속적으로 사용해야만 치아미백효과를 볼 수 있다. 우리는 가정에서도 보다 안전하고 단기간에 효율적으로 치아의 미백효과를 보기 위하여, 식품의약품안정청에서 규제하고 있는, carbamide peroxide (15%)와 저온 대기압 플라즈마 제트를 사용하여 미백효과를 관찰하였다. 플라즈마 제트의 유량은 200 sccm이며, 공기를 사용하였다. 미백효과를 보기 위한 대상으로는 우치(牛齒)를 사용하였으며, 플라즈마를 처리하여 미백효과를 관찰하였다. 실험 대조시료군으로는 carbamide peroxide (15%)를 처리하지 않은 우치와 처리한 우치, 그리고 carbamide peroxide (15%)를 처리한 우치에 수증기(0.2~1%)를 첨가한 다음, 이들 세가지 시료에 각각 공기 플라즈마를 조사하여 비교해보았다. 모든 실험의 플라즈마 처리시간은 최대 20분까지로 하였다. 수증기를 첨가한 이유는 활성산소의 농도를 높이기 위함이며, 이로써 탁월한 미백효과를 얻을 수 있다. 이는 활성산소와 치아의 유기질이 반응하여, 색이 진한 탄소고리 화합물을 밝은 색의 사슬구조로 바꿔주기 때문이다. 실험을 통하여 우치에 carbamide peroxide (15%)와 수증기(0.2~1%)를 처리한 경우 플라즈마의 미백효과가 탁월함을 보였다. 이때 CIE색좌표 ($L^*a^*b^*$)에서 명도도가 최대 2배 이상 높아짐을 보았다. 미백효과에 대한 측정은 측색분광기(CM-3500d)를 이용하였다.

The changes in $UV_{254}$ and concentrations of $H_2O_2$ formed by ozonation of aqueous humic acid in ozone/high pH, peroxone process and in the presence of radical scavenger, $HCO_3{^-}$ were investigated. This study confirmed that the formation of $H_2O_2$ by ozonation may undergo different reaction pathways compared to those of $UV_{254}$ reduction in the degradation of the humic acid. The concentration of $H_2O_2$ produced by ozonation was found to be increased with decreasing pH of the sample solution due to the higher stability of ozone molecules at acidic conditions. On the while, $UV_{254}$ reduction was found to be higher at alkaline conditions or larger amount of $H_2O_2$ additions as a radical promoter in which the producing of ${\cdot}OH$, ${\cdot}HO_2$ radicals can be more favorable. From the results, it has been suggested that the formation of $H_2O_2$ by ozonation depends mainly on the direct reactions of ozone with humic acid molecules, while $UV_{254}$ reduction is affected by both the indirect reactions of the radicals and direct reactions of ozone with humic acid.

The blending method that is an addition of small quantity of fuel was used to increase the performance of green propellant thruster. 90 wt.% hydrogen peroxide as a green propellant was selected, and ethanol was used as a blended fuel. The o/f ratio was chosen as 50 which has higher theoretical performance than 98 wt.% hydrogen peroxide. The chamber temperature of blended hydrogen peroxide was higher than adiabatic chamber temperature of hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, performance can be improved by ethanol blending. Several catalyst and its support were compared to find appropriate catalyst for decomposition and combustion of ethanol blended hydrogen peroxide. As a experimental results, Pt was suitable, but $MnO_2$ had a chamber instability when it was reused. The ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ which is high heat-resistant support showed very unstable performance in both Pt and $MnO_2$ catalyst since it has low decomposition performance.

Hydrogen peroxide, which is used in various crops as an oxidizer to improve high temperature adaptation, was evaluated on the effects on productivity and disease incidence in paprika (Capsicum annuum L.) by periodic leaf spray at summer. Hydrogen peroxide treatment not only increased the leaf thickness and SPAD (chlorophyll content) but also the fruit set numbers per plant by 2. Hydrogen peroxide content increase in leaf resulted in increase of catalase and peroxidase activities, and the powdery mildew disease (Leveillula taurica) was also suppressed by the treatment. Transpiration was improved by the reduced leaf stomata resistance in the hydrogen peroxide treatment. Therefore, hydrogen peroxide leaf spray is recommended for improvement of summer productivity in paprika.
