Peroxyacetic acid, пероксиуксусная acid, перуксусная acid, NUK 2915210000

Peracetic acid is prepared by gradually adding acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide to water containing sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The resulting mixture is kept for up to ten days to increase the yield. You can also use acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride to obtain NAA.

Peracetic acid is also produced in nature by photochemical reactions.

Application

Synthesis of other connections

General Usage peracetic acid in industry - epoxy synthesis This process involves the transfer of an oxygen atom to a double bond, for example, ethylene or propylene form epoxies or alcohols. It can also be used in the production of glycerin from propylene. And used in nylon production.

Disinfectants

Peracetic acid is a powerful and convenient disinfectant due to high oxidative potential. It is effective against a wide range of microorganisms and is not inactivated by the enzymes catalase and peroxidase, which deactivate hydrogen peroxide. It can be used in a wide temperature range (0-40 В° C), and a wide pH value (3.0-7.5), for washing in hard water.
