SEOUL, December 29 (Korea Bizwire) — The Korea Institute of Science and Know-how stated Wednesday it has developed a brand new know-how that may substitute the high-temperature, high-pressure vitality used for hydrogen peroxide manufacturing with photovoltaic vitality, thereby bettering total manufacturing.
Hydrogen peroxide is a core materials utilized in chip manufacturing. Nevertheless, a steady provide of hydrogen peroxide is unsure because of the pandemic scenario and the speedy progress in demand for semiconductor manufacturing.
The present thermochemical course of for the manufacturing of peroxide requires excessive vitality consumption and creates environmental points equivalent to greenhouse fuel emissions.
Towards this backdrop, there’s a rising have to develop another eco-friendly know-how that may guarantee a steady provide of hydrogen peroxide.
The analysis crew developed a photocatalytic response answer utilizing an natural answer generated by a thermochemical course of to extend the oxygen discount functionality of the photocatalyst.
Precise evaluation confirmed that the output of hydrogen peroxide elevated considerably.
When controlling the photocatalyst and natural answer, the analysis crew used photo voltaic vitality and succeeded in producing 5.3 p.c hydrogen peroxide per unit hour and gram of photocatalyst, 5 instances greater than the minimal industrial output customary.
