Is hydrogen peroxide considered an organic or inorganic process?
Thread Content
In the anthraquinone process for producing hydrogen peroxide, the resulting hydrogen peroxide is an inorganic substance; however, the entire production process involves organic substances. Therefore, it’s not clear whether organic or inorganic regulatory requirements should be applied. Could anyone give some advice?
I feel it’s inorganic, because the application for certifications takes into account mainly the nature of the product, rather than its manufacturing process.
I think it should be organic, because when characterizing a manufacturing process, the most complex production steps are usually taken into consideration
Organic processes, inorganic products. Organic production, storage of inorganic products.
It belongs to organic chemical processing techniques and is organic in nature.
I agree with the view on the second floor; it should fall under inorganic chemical engineering. Because, the chemical industry can be broadly divided into two categories based on the elemental composition of its products: the inorganic chemical industry and the organic chemical industry. The organic chemistry industry is the industry that produces organic chemical products using organic synthesis methods. Hydrogen peroxide is an inorganic substance, so its production process should fall under inorganic processes.
Production using organic raw materials should fall under organic production processes
There is no real need to distinguish between organic and inorganic processes for this. Since organic substances are included in the raw materials and serve as the main components, the design must take into account the issues related to organic processing.
The key issue is that the locals claim we have organic certification and therefore cannot engage in design work; it might also be due to local protectionism. I heard that the local design institutes have connections with certain authorities, and they deliberately look for faults
What is the purpose of applying for qualifications?
Just get both qualifications, that’s it – no need for nonsense. I’ve never heard that someone who works with organic substances can’t work with inorganic ones, or vice versa. In the case of hydrogen peroxide processing, I think both approaches are applicable; there’s no need to separate them.
