PACKAGE TYPE
It can be packed in 30kg containers which are easy to handle, or 1m3 containers normally used in textiles and in pulp and paper making.
USES
60% or 50% peroxide can be used for mining purposes, though the 50% specification is normally used for this.
60% of global hydrogen peroxide output is used for pulp and paper bleaching especially in bond paper manufacturing plants. These normally take 50% or 60% peroxide specification.
Hydrogen peroxide is also used to make sodium percarbonate and sodium perborate which are bleaches used in laundry detergents
It also finds use in specialized water treatment plants were it used to deal with organic impurities
Hydrogen Peroxide 35% finds use in the food industry, cosmetic industry and also has medicinal usage.
The Elsner Equation for the dissolution of gold below requires oxygen to speed up reaction kinetics. One important source of oxygen for use in leaching is hydrogen peroxide. Peroxides are generally unstable and decompose into water and oxygen according to the reaction below:
2 H2O2 ------> 2 H2O + O2
Gold dissolution rates are thus directly related to the amount of dispersed oxygen in the leach tank.
- Alternative sources of oxygen include compressed air and pure oxygen. Even at plants using these, there is a need to have an inventory of hydrogen peroxide for use should there be any compressor breakdowns or delays in the delivery of oxygen tankers.
- The other advantage of the use of peroxide is that there isn’t any major CAPEX investment involved.
Dosage rates for peroxide increase with increased complexities of leaching of various feed material. Material that needs more peroxide includes sulfides and dump recycled material whilst oxide ores are generally easy to leach and thus need less peroxide dosages during cyanidation.
Method of Application
Hydrogen peroxide is dosed as is straight into the leach tank or into a leach conditioning tank.

It is a colourless liquid that when undiluted is also called glacial acetic acid. It has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell.
Acetic acid uses: Additive in industrial explosives in Mining.
Other uses include use of acetic acid in the production of vinyl acetate monomer, acetic anhydride and ester production.
Chemical gassing agents -In the case of emulsion explosives, using Acetic acid can accelerate the gassing process. The chemically gassed emulsions may take 40 – 50 minutes for completion of gassing within the blast holes, particularly when the emulsion is colder.
In cases where acetic acid is used, it is added to the emulsion prior to gassing, the desired amount of acid is mixed in the emulsion, before adding the gasser.
A gassing solution comprising sodium nitrite in water together with the selected enol compound and acetic acid is introduced into the emulsion explosive at the blast hole by entraining the gassing solution into a stream of the emulsion explosive using pumps.
The solution pH is an important parameter in the gassing of emulsion explosives due to the high cost associated with acid addition therefore a pH value should preferably be maintained at 4.1 or below.

4.Environmental impact
- Acetic acid biodegrades readily under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
- Acetic acid does not absorb light with wavelengths >290 nm(4), and is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).
- Incase of spillage neutralize spill with soda ash or lime.
