Report Abstract
This report presents the economics of Hydrogen Peroxide production from hydrogen in the United States using an anthraquinone auto-oxidation process. In this process, 2-ethyl anthraquinone is sequentially hydrogenated and oxidized, generating Hydrogen Peroxide.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Hydrogen Peroxide production and related Hydrogen Peroxide production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Hydrogen Peroxide production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Hydrogen Peroxide plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Hydrogen Peroxide plant operating costs (Opex).
The Hydrogen Peroxide production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Hydrogen Peroxide plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Hydrogen Peroxide plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
Process Schematic

The process under analysis comprises four major sections: (1) hydrogenation; (2) oxidation; (3) concentration and purification; and (4) working solution recovery.
* Hydrogenation. Initially, 2-ethyl anthraquinone (EAQ) is dissolved in a polar/non-polar solvent mix to form a solution (known as the working solution). The working solution feeds the hydrogenation reactor, where the EAQ is reduced to 2-ethyl anthrahydroquinone (EAHQ) by hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst.
* Oxidation. During the oxidation, EAHQ is oxidized back to EAQ, while simultaneously producing H2O2. Oxygen from ambient air is used in the oxidation, and the reaction is not catalyzed (that is, autoxidation). The working solution obtained from the oxidation is directed to the concentration and purification section, downstream.
* Concentration and purification. The hydrogen peroxide is separated from the working solution by means of countercurrent extraction with demineralized water and then passed through an adsorbent resin bed for removal of entrained organic compounds from the working solution. After purification, the hydrogen peroxide solution is fed to a vacuum distillation column, to be concentrated to 70 wt.%.
* Working solution recovery. The working solution leaving the extraction area is passed through a drying step to adjust the water content before being recycled back to the hydrogenation unit. Subsequently, part of the working solution is passed over an activated alumina bed for reverting unwanted quinone-related species to active quinones and removing the irreversibly degraded products.
