Study of stabilized hydrogen peroxide for water disinfection

RBF International Letée(总部设在圣热罗姆，昆士兰)开发、制造和销售水消毒化学品。他们开发的化学品主要用于处理游泳池和水疗中心的水，然而，这些产品对环境修复和农业应用也很重要。该公司目前正在寻找基于稳定的过氧化氢的水处理解决方案，而不是传统的基于氯的配方。使用过氧化氢可以对水进行消毒，不会产生对健康有负面影响的氯化有机副产物或氯胺。确定水样中稳定的过氧化氢的长期稳定性对于证明其作为水消毒剂的有效性是非常重要的。特别是，这个由NSERC资助的项目的目标将是了解哪些条件是延长处理后的水中过氧化氢的持续时间和有效性的必要条件。为了提高使用过氧化氢制剂进行水消毒的可靠性，将对几个条件进行研究。申请人马修·弗雷内特教授是过氧化氢化学和有机材料过氧化氢氧化方面的专家。这项由RBF国际研究中心向弗雷内特教授的研究小组提出的项目旨在验证过氧化氢作为游泳池和水疗中心水的可靠消毒剂的可行性。

RBF International Ltée (head office in Saint-Jérôme, QC) develops, manufactures and sells chemicals for waterdisinfection. The chemicals they develop are mainly used for treating water in pools and spas, however, theseproducts are also important for environmental remediation and agriculture applications.This company is currently searching solutions for water treatment that are based on stabilized hydrogenperoxide, rather than traditional chlorine-based formulations. The use of hydrogen peroxide enables thedisinfection of water with no chlorinated organic by-products or chloramines, which have negative healtheffects. It is very important to determine the long-term stability of the stabilized hydrogen peroxide in watersamples to prove its effectiveness as a water disinfectant.In particular, the goal of this NSERC-funded project will be to understand what conditions are necessary toextend the duration and effectiveness of the peroxide in the treated water. Several conditions will beinvestigated to improve the reliability of water disinfection using hydrogen peroxide formulations.The applicant, Professor Mathieu Frenette, is an expert in the chemistry of peroxides and the oxidation oforganic material by peroxides. This project that RBF International Ltée has proposed to professor Frenette'sresearch group aims to validate hydrogen peroxide as a reliable option as a disinfectant for water in pools andspas.
