Hi list and Dameon,
Was mulling this posting over and came to the conclusion it was
confusing. We can`t mix H2O2 up with Ozone in our thoughts.
I think most of us know that H2O2 is Hydrogen Peroxide and that Ozone
is O3. Both have been used to sterilize water. Three per cent H2O2 is
used as a mild antiseptic,a deoderizer,a germicide, and of course a air
bleach. A 30% solution is used as a lab oxidizing agent. A 90% H2O2 is
used in explosives and rocket fuel. H2O2 is used to make polymers for
*cold rubber* which is used to make long lasting (high mileage) tires.
Its effective action as a bactericidal agent is questionable. Its
nontoxic.
Now Ozone (O3) is quite toxic and used primarily as an industrial
bleach. Its a strong oxidizing agent and used to bleach colored
substances to colorless compounds, such as oils,waxes and fabrics.
Silver,which is normally not oxidized by most things is readily
oxidized by Ozone (blackened). Natural rubber becomes hard and brittle
when ozone
attacts it. It is sometimes used to purify air and sterilize water but
it attacts everything around it (the equipment) causing a lot of
corrosion and equipment failures and toxic releases. That makes it not
economical to use and hazardous to have around.
Bless you all Bob Lee
