The cooling curves of a number of solutions of deuterium peroxide in heavy water in the concentration range 11% to 95% were measured in order to determine the solid-liquid phase diagram for that binary system. The apparatus of Herington and Handley, which uses a pulsing pressure for stirring the solutions, and a thermistor, was found to be particularly suitable for that purpose. As could be expected the freezing-point curve of the deuterated compounds is closely similar to that of the hydrogen compounds, being shifted up only by about 4° for water-rich solutions and by 2° for peroxide-rich solutions. The melting point of the addition compound, D2O.2D2O very nearly coincides with one of the eutectic points at 46.2% D2O2 and −51.5 °C.; the other eutectic point is at 60.5% D2O2 and −55.1 °C. By extrapolation the melting point of pure deuterium peroxide is found to be 1.5 °C. as compared with −0.43 °C. for hydrogen peroxide. Concentrated solutions of deuterium peroxide exhibit an extreme tendency to supercool, resulting sometimes in formation of glasses even at liquid-air temperature. The previous results of Foley and Giguère for the system H2O–H2O2 were confirmed, specially as regards the melting point of the addition compound H2O2•2H2O.

1. The velocity of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase as a function of (a) concentration of catalase, (b) concentration of hydrogen peroxide, (c) hydrogen ion concentration, (d) temperature has been studied in an attempt to correlate these variables as far as possible. It is concluded that the reaction involves primarily adsorption of hydrogen peroxide at the catalase surface. 2. The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase is regarded as involving two reactions, namely, the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, which is a maximum at the optimum pH 6.8 to 7.0, and the "induced inactivation" of catalase by the "nascent" oxygen produced by the hydrogen peroxide and still adhering to the catalase surface. This differs from the more generally accepted view, namely that the induced inactivation is due to the H2O2 itself. On the basis of the above view, a new interpretation is given to the equation of Yamasaki and the connection between the equations of Yamasaki and of Northrop is pointed out. It is shown that the velocity of induced inactivation is a minimum at the pH which is optimal for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. 3. The critical increment of the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase is of the order 3000 calories. The critical increment of induced inactivation is low in dilute hydrogen peroxide solutions but increases to a value of 30,000 calories in concentrated solutions of peroxide.

The influence of vibration and stirring of 90% and 98% hydrogen peroxide (high test peroxide – HTP) of two different purity levels in accordance with MIL-PRF-16005F, was determined. Testing was conducted in order to evaluate safety of use of highly concentrated solutions of hydrogen peroxide. The influence of vibration on HTP was tested at different frequencies up to 100 Hz. Further testing investigated the influence of stirring HTP, at three different speed values: 2000 rpm, 4000 rpm and 6000 rpm. During both tests, decomposition was determined by measuring concentration loss using density assay. Liquid during the tests was visually inspected for visible signs of decomposition such as: foaming, gas emission, turbidity.

Using a Bunsen ice calorimeter the following thermal data were obtained for pure hydrogen peroxide:Specific heat of liquid between0°and25°C …................... 0.632 ± 0. 003 cal. per.gm. per degreeSpecific heat of solid between−20°and −10°C.................. 0.41 ± 0.02 cal. per gm. per degreeLatent heat of fusion at meltingpoint, −0.46°C................... 85.83 ± 0.18 cal. per gm.Latent heat of vaporization at 0°C...... 370.17 ± 0.18 cal. per gm.The freezing points of very concentrated solutions of hydrogen peroxide calculated from these data agree closely with the experimental ones. Preliminary measurements of the heat of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by platinum black were also made at 0° and at various concentrations. The results point to 23.54 ± 0.04 kcal. per mole for the heat of the reaction[Formula: see text]a value slightly higher than those found by previous experimenters.
