Abstract
In 1818 J. L. Thenard discovered hydrogen peroxide by reacting barium peroxide with nitric acid [1]. Based on this reaction commercial production of hydrogen peroxide began around 1880 [2]. The very diluted hydrogen peroxide produced by the barium peroxide process found only limited use due to high production costs, low hydrogen peroxide content and poor stability.
