“…Currently, the industrial manufacture of H 2 O 2 is based on the work of Riedl and Pfleiderer, also known as the AO process 21 (Scheme 2) 25 using polynuclear hydroquinones 1 . Although this process is capable of meeting the world's H 2 O 2 demand, it does have certain drawbacks such as:…”

“…The Efactor is the ratio of the amount of waste produced to the amount of desired product [32][33][34] . Considering the AO process, the amount of solvents and the alkylated hydroquinones used in the process are waste products, as the reaction is not atom efficient 1,3,[7][8] . This brings up an important question: why is the AO process still practiced at an industrial level if it is not sustainable?…”

“…Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) is a colourless, odourless, and slightly acidic liquid used mainly as an oxidant in chemical synthesis [1][2][3] . It is an atom efficient, benign, and eco-friendly oxidant that produces water or oxygen as a degradation product, depending on the catalyst used [4][5] .…”

Hydrogen peroxide is an important chemical of increasing demand in today’s world. Currently, the anthraquinone autoxidation process dominates the industrial production of hydrogen peroxide. Herein, hydrogen and oxygen are reacted indirectly in the presence of quinones to yield hydrogen peroxide. Owing to the complexity and multi-step nature of the process, it is advantageous to replace the process with an easier and straightforward one. The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from its constituent reagents is an effective and clean route to achieve this goal. Factors such as water formation due to thermodynamics, explosion risk, and the stability of the hydrogen peroxide produced hinder the applicability of this process at an industrial level. Currently, the catalysis for the direct synthesis reaction is palladium based and the research into finding an effective and active catalyst has been ongoing for more than a century now. Palladium in its pure form, or alloyed with certain metals are some of the new generation of catalysts that are extensively researched. Additionally, to prevent the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water, the process is stabilised by adding certain promoters such as mineral acids and halides. A major part of today’s research in this field focusses on the reactor and the mode of operation required for synthesising hydrogen peroxide. The emergence of microreactor technology has helped in setting up this synthesis in a continuous mode, which could possibly replace the anthraquinone process in the near future. This review will focus on the recent findings of the scientific community in terms of reaction engineering, catalyst and reactor design in the direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide.

“…Aproximadamente em 1880, iniciou-se a produção do peróxido de hidrogênio em larga escala, tendo como principal finalidade industrial a aplicação no branqueamento de chapéus de palha. Contudo, o método de produção utilizado acarretava em um produto final com limites operacionais para sua aplicação industrial, fazendo com que fossem desenvolvidas diversas outras formas mais eficientes do método de produção deste reagente, ao longo dos anos seguintes, visando um produto com maior estabilidade e concentração(34). longo dos anos, este reagente teve a sua aplicação expandida para as mais diversas áreas, de forma isolada e também de forma combinada, sendo mais comumente utilizado como agente oxidante.Devido à sua versatilidade como oxidante, isto é, por apresentar seletividade sob determinadas condições experimentas, como a temperatura do meio reacional, a sua concentração, tempo de reação, adição ou não de catalisadores, etc., o peróxido de hidrogênio tem o seu uso superior ao do cloro, dióxido de cloro e permanganato de potássio(35).…”
