Purify H2O2 with glycerol ?

since it competes for h bonds when dissolved with water, and water's freezing point will decrease to around -30, while h2o2 is still near 0, we can purify it simply by freezing the h2o2 and glycerol solution then ?

H2O2 = oxidizing agent
Glycerol = easily oxidizable substance

The H2O2 will oxidize your glycerol.
Most likely products Glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone.
