Abstract

The thermal data of onset temperature, peak temperature and enthalpy of reaction of hydrogen peroxide at 35% w/w was tested by differential scanning calorimetry. The increasing of heating rate in the range of 2-8 °C/min increases the onset temperature from 76.9-84.0 °C, respectively. The activation energy of hydrogen peroxide was 57.6kJ/mol. The adiabatic decomposition temperature rise and time-to-maximum rate were 231.7 K and 32.3 sec, respectively. The thermal hazard potentials were estimated by the critical half thickness, the critical temperature and the time-to-thermal-runaway. The result confirmed that hydrogen peroxide is highly oxidizing hazardous material. Thus using in laboratory and industry must be act carefully.
