h202 concentration?
i have hade small amount of acetone peroxide before using 10 % h202. i looked around for a while so dont flame me please. i need a way to concentrate
mt 10 % h202 to around 30%( the higher the better) i have 6 gallons of 10% h202 and would rather concentrate it than buy a higher concentration. any
ideas that can be done to concentrate it? ive heard of evaporation and some way with elecrosis. any help is greatly apriciated thank you

It can be concentrated by boiling at 100 degrees to about 112 degrees. Keep it as low as possible. It has worked fairly well for me.
Great ideas often receive violent opposition from mediocre minds.

I can't wait to get a hot plate. So I can control the temperature perfectly.

If you feel like being cheap and wasting some time monitoring temperature, you can buy a duraband single burner, aka hot plate, at Wal-Mart for ~ $9.

I was under the impression that boiling H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> was not the best way to concentrate it, as you inevitably
lost O<sub>2</sub>. Apparently, though, you can freeze it. You'll end up with a lump of ice in liquid. This liquid should be about
50% peroxide iirc. The ice is of no use.

Actually, the ice contains some of the H2O2, but probably less then 3 %. And the liquid is not that concentrated, it's maybe 20-25 %.
I have a method for concentrating H2O2 up to around 90% if anyone interested.

I would love to hear your method. However, amature experimenters must keep in mind that distilling hydrogen peroxide at high concentrations like that
can go catastrophically wrong when a small amount of organic material violently decomposes the entire lot of peroxide. I don't know if one could
ever get their apparatus absolutely clean, I've always had a problem keeping my supplies spotless. Another method is to produce the hydrogen
peroxide from a reaction with sodium peroxide.

WARNING: The following procedure is stupidly dangerous and should not be attempted under any circumstances
Hydrogen peroxide can be concentrated by shaking it with diethyl ether. A layer of ether mixed with hydrogen peroxide will form, which can be
seperated off. The hydrogen peroxide can then be isolated by boiling off the ether.

Really clever, did you think of it yourself? Damn...good idea and advice, but not that the info's out, some k3wl with a can of starting fluid
and some 3% will try out "something I learned on the internet". Peroxides of ether are fun.

There are three ways of concentrating hydrogen peroxide, one as was mentioned is distilling. It would be preferable to distill at 40 C under vacuum.
If anybody needs a cheap vacuum pump go to http://www.sciplus.com (I get all my supplies from there because it is the cheapest source around even if they don't have the greatest
selection, but they do have some nice 85 pound lifting capacity ceramic magnets ) Freezing was also mentioned. Below 62% water freezes before hydrogen peroxide, but after 62% hydrogen peroxide freezes before water. So quite
high concentrations can be achieved if you freeze it to 62%, throw out the ice and then freeze it again, this time keeping the ice which is now
relatively pure hydrogen peroxide. Another method is sparging, which involves bubbling warm dry air through a hydrogen peroxide solution. You can
buy bernzomatic oxygen tanks at home depot or lowes for about $8 a tank. If you have a good vacuum pump I would recommend distilling as it guarantees
the highest concentration. Heres a website I found while searching google with some nut's design for a hydrogen peroxide distillation rig http://webhome.idirect.com/~earlcp/Reports/Stills_199x.html Doesn't this thread belong in the reagents and apparatus aquisition section?

I believe that seperation with ether was once used industrially to concentrate H2O2. For obvious reasons, it is not used today.

peroxides of ether form from O<sub>2</sub> not H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> (but it can accelerate it by its
degradation to O<sub>2</sub> maybe a second extraction with
CH<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub> could remove the peroxide? this method could probably be used to make <i>in situ</i>
binary explosives.
what is the ratio of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>/ether in the extract?

H2o2
Just boil it in a pan over the over until it gets 1/10th of the way down then you have concentration between 20-30% I assume your boiling down 3%.

Your method sounds very workable with one minor change. You'd want to "bridge the gap".
Freeze concentrate, removing water ice until concentration reached a suitable 50ish% and then evap to 70ish% and then freeze concentrate collecting
H.perox.Ice until 90+% and then distill till ya get the hi-test!
The freezing points are just too close between 55% and 65% to be able to cross the barrier w/out massive losses.
Lookit Guaguanco's chart.

Once I left a small amount of 50% H2O2 on a plate to dry. A couple of days later the volume had decreased to an oily liquid. I had no use for it so I
discarded it in a pot plant. I was quite alarmed by the commotion it caused. It was violently oxidising any organic material it came in contact with,
so much so that even the sand was glowing from the heat. The stuff must have been seriously concentrated by simple evapouration, great if you have the
time.
I live in a fairly dry climate, and I'm not sure if H2O2 is a water scavenger so it might/not work in a humid climate.
ps, If you have concentrated H2O2, keep it clean and away from everything. Treat it like a god, or it could really spoil your day.

Nope I don't unfortunately. Out of curiosity, why would one want to concentrate H2O2 to near 100% in the first place?
-unless:- could one form pure HNO3 from bubbling NO2 through pure H2O2??

100% hydrogen peroxide is needed to make very high end explosive, some furazans and furoxans, hexanitrobenzene, and some nitroureas, it is also needed
for hydrogen peroxide rockets.

I've tried both evaping and freezing and untill now didnt know whats wrong:
with evaporation temp control is prety hard on the burner(gas).Though since I only had a stainless steel pan didnt wan to risk anything.
I tried freezing it but all the 4 times I tried just frize the whole damn thing.
PS
You sure about peroxide in rocktes,russian torpdo's use 60% I think.
ALso syrian rockets use 60% mixed with diesel ethanol and some sugar
