Environment & Water

Hydrogen peroxide enhances air quality in industrial facilities by effectively reducing airborne pollutants such as mercaptans, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. This helps lower harmful emissions and supports compliance with EU 2020 air quality standards.

The global market for lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in electric vehicles, personal computers, tablets and mobile phones, is growing rapidly. The leaching process of LiB recycling technology involves the addition of hydrogen peroxide to recover the precious and rare metals lithium and cobalt.

To reduce wastewater and cut energy costs, industry is increasingly turning to sustainable solutions for water reuse. Oxidizing agents such as peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide provide antimicrobial action in reused water and are also used to neutralize unpleasant odors.

Hydrogen peroxide is used in paper recycling and in the recovery of valuable materials such as gold, platinum, copper, and rare earths from e-waste—including computers, cell phones, solar panels, and lithium-ion batteries—as an environmentally friendly oxidizing agent.

Using our proven soil and groundwater remediation technologies, we effectively treat contaminants such as chlorinated solvents, pesticides, PCBs, herbicides, and heavy metals—restoring contaminated sites, protecting ecosystems, and improving environmental health.

A cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for the efficient treatment of wastewater streams is the use of hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid. Thanks to their strong oxidative power, these substances can effectively reduce algae, iron, manganese, and other dissolved organic and inorganic compounds in wastewater.
