Used hydrogen peroxide, of low concentration – can it be stored in a cement tank?
Hydrogen peroxide cannot be used as it decomposes easily; it is recommended to use polytetrafluoroethylene containers.
It is easily decomposable, and flammable and explosive. However, a PE groove is sufficient; there is no need to use tetrafluoroethylene.
In our factory, there used to be residual hydrogen peroxide on the floor; every time we tried to dilute it with water and wash the floor, over time the entire surface of the floor became soft and unusable! It is recommended to use a plastic lining!
No, cement contains metal ions, which can catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Its inner wall can be coated with resin, and it is also advisable to add a stabilizer to hydrogen peroxide.
