Hydrogen peroxide improves air quality in industrial plants by reducing air pollutants such as mercaptans, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. This allows harmful pollutant emissions to be reduced and limit values under the EU 2020 Directive to be better complied with.

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.

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

With our portfolio of proven soil and groundwater remediation technologies and products, we treat contaminants such as phenols, pesticides, PCB's, herbicides, or heavy metals that contaminate ground-water and soils and thus endanger the ecosystem.

To reduce wastewater and cut energy costs, industry is increasingly turning to sustainable solutions for water recycling. Biocides such as peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide develop their antimicrobial effect in recycled water and are also used to combat bad odors.

An economical and environmentally friendly alternative to chlorine and UV disinfection of wastewater is the use of hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid, whose strong oxidizing power fights algae, iron, manganese, and other dissolved organic and inorganic substances in wastewater.
