Question

The large-scale modern industrial manufacture of Hydrogen Peroxide involves a cyclic, zero-waste process relying on the continuous auto-oxidation and reduction of an organic carrier. What is the specific organic carrier molecule used in this process?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. Industrial is manufactured by the auto-oxidation of 2-ethylanthraquinol. Bubbling air through it oxidizes it to 2-ethylanthraquinone while yielding . The quinone is then catalytically reduced back to the starting quinol using gas over a Palladium catalyst to repeat the cycle.
