Hydrogen peroxide is widely used as a disinfectant and as
a bleach for textiles, wood pulp, hair, fur etc.. It is also
used as a substitute for chlorine in water and sewage
treatment. Most common commercial forms are aqueous
solutions containing about 6, 12 and 30 per cent hydrogen
peroxide and are referred to as "20-volume", "40-volume"
and "100-volume" respectively, meaning the value of oxygen liberated when the solution is boiled. The Hanna test
kit can quickly and easy determine concentration in water
up to 10 ppm of hydrogen peroxide. This is due to the fact
that it is not affected by stabilizers, which are sometimes
added to commercial hydrogen peroxide solutions. The kit is
portable and can be used in the field as well as in the
laboratory.

Note: mg/L is equivalent to ppm (parts per million).

CHEMICAL REACTIONCHEMICAL REACTION

CHEMICAL REACTIONCHEMICAL REACTION
Hydrogen peroxide is determined by a titrimetric method. It
reacts slowly with iodide in acid solution (Step 1); thus a 15
minutes interval is required to allow the reaction to occur
completely. The amount of iodine generated is equivalent to
the hydrogen peroxide in the sample. The liberated iodine
is then titrated with standard sodium thiosulfate solution
that reduces the iodine back to iodide ions (Step 2).

• Remove the cap from the plastic vessel and rinse it with
sample. For H
mark with the sample. In case of H
the vessel with 5 mL of the sample using the graduated
plastic test tube and add D.I. water to the 15 mL
mark.
• Add 1 mL of HI 3844A-0 reagent for Low Range or 0.5
mL for High Range using the plastic pipette and swirl
gently to mix.
• Using the plastic spoon provided, add 1 spoon of HI
3844B-0 reagent and swirl gently to mix.
• Wait for 15 minutes to allow
reaction to occur, leaving the
plastic vessel closed and in a dark
place.
Note: if hydrogen peroxide is present, the solution will turn
to a dark yellow color.
• Slowly add drops of the titration reagent HI 3844C-0
while swirling the solution and counting the drops.
Continue adding the titration solution until the yellow
color of the solution is almost colorless.

• Add 2 to 3 drops of HI 3844D-0 reagent and mix by
carefully swirling the plastic vessel in tight circles. The
solution will turn a blue color.
• Continue adding slowly drops of the titration reagent HI
3844C-0, while swirling and counting the drops, until
the solution changes from blue to colorless.
• To obtain the concentration in ppm of Hydrogen Peroxide in your sample, multiply the total number of drops
of the titration reagent HI 3844C-0 used to turn the
solution from the dark yellow color to colorless by 0.25
or 1 for Low Range or High Range, respectively.
