    A couple suggestions. 1) prepare the hydrogen separately and store it in a balloon or something. Then make your setup capable of separately having vacuum and hydrogen input. Separating the two system gives a lot more control.
    2) when purging the system, it's a good idea to do 3 cycles. So vacuum and fill with hydrogen, then vaccum again, 3 times, just to make sure there is like 0 air left. Air remenants might not actually be a huge deal though.
    3) palladium is rarely used as raw palladium powder because of cost, and efficiency.
    The efficiency is intimately tied to the surface area. Usually the palladium is supported on a solid support like carbon, al2o3, etc. which increases its surface area immensely.
    I'm interested in seeing what you try next!

    Hi Cody,
    to test for H2O2 with the classic test (using KI and soap) you need a concentration of peroxide about >7%. Under this the foaming is so small it will not be visible.
    You could use permanganate to check the conc. of the peroxide.

  • @lukaswursthorn581
    @lukaswursthorn581 6 років тому +5

    I dont know a lot about the process, but half an hour of air bubbling (without stirring?) at room temperature might not be enough to oxidise the anthrahydroquinone. Also, with the low amount of starting materials and assuming not-so-great yields in both steps (as is usual for homemade chemistry), you wouldnt expect to have more than a little bit of hydrogen peroxide in your solution. (2 grams of anthraquinone and 30% yield would lead to only 3 mmols or 0.1g of hydrogen peroxide, making your test solution roughly 1%)

    The light might be destroying the o-o bonds. Prolonged exposure of H2O2 to light will cause it to break down in to oxygen and H2O.

      Only on a very long term. It takes a year or two (if it is conserved without any metal ion contamination) to observe a significant change in H2O2 concentration, in 30% solutions. If the solution is more diluted (like cody's), it will take longer.

    Cody, you should try to spot the ISS at night. NASA has a website called spot the station and it lets you see what times the ISS will pass over you at night. You just type your location and it shows sighting times around you, the amount of degrees it is in the sky, and also what direction it comes from. If you use a very good telescope you'll be able see the solar panels and US part of the station. If you do everything right you'll see a small moving dot that looks like a star. Zoom in on the moving star and maybe you will see the station. Tip: Even if your location is not on the website, you can just use the places around you.

    Chemistry student here, I got some more info on the antraquinone process
    Taken from Hollemann/Wiberg - Lehrbuch der anorganischen Chemie 102. Edition pp.534-535:
    "The technical synthesis of Hydrogenperoxide is nowadays achieved by the hydrogenation of oxygen from the air at 30-80 °C and 5 bar by anthrahydroquinone (BASF-Anthraquinone-Process).
    In the organic phase , anthrahydroquinone is used as the hydrogenation agent. The hereby produced anthraquinone is catalytically rehydrogenated to anthrahydroquinone by Pd and Hydrogen at 40°C and 5 bar, thereby furnishing hydrogenperoxide.
    By extraction from the organic phase (with water) one receives a dilute solution of hydrogenperoxide, which can be concentrated by fractioning distillation (removal of water from the solution)."

      Could you? Yes. Would you want to? Probably not. You'll end up with superoxides as the rougemillenial pointed out, even without using anthrahydroquinone. Though the concentration of peroxide formed would be very low, as would the concentration of any superoxides. Like atari7001 said, it's very soluble and oxygen transfer may not happen at all.

    I know when you pull a vacuum on hydrochloric acid you get a lot of hydrogen chloride vapor. I dont' know if that happened here, but as the H2 went into solution on the anthraquinone side, at some point you probably had some HCl coming over as well. I can't say for sure but I can't imagine it doesn't have some effect on the kinetics of the anthraquinone process. Maybe just stick with the sulfuric acid?

      Aluminum is how it is actually spelled here, not just pronounced. And no one says "kornal", they say "kernel", because that is how it is pronounced. There are definitely dummies that say nuke-you-lar though.

    So just a safety note, if that whole setup is under pressure, removing that clamp won't keep it from blowing up. Those fittings can be very tight and you would need to have some kind of outward flow to have that male glass connection pop out. I'm sure there was not much risk here, but just be aware.
    Either way, always make sure to engage safety squints

    @attrezzopox 5 років тому

    I figured I'd shoot this your way in case you could explain it or use it. I accidentally concentrated hydrogen peroxide in an aquarium setup once.
    I was injecting CO2 at a very slow rate and as part of that you need a bubble indicator so you can meter how much co2 you're sending into the tank. A bubble every few seconds is common. The system is under pressure though because the feed eventually lead to an atomizer and that's where the "magic" may be. I know the atomizers won't work properly at anything under 30psi so that might be a start. Anyway, I used over the counter 3% H2O2 as a way of preventing organic nasties growing in the liquid needed for the bubble indicator and creating another thing to clean. However, as it turns out, I was greatly concentrating the H2O2.
    One day, maybe a week or two later, I did some maintenance on the system and opened the bubbler and spilled a very small amount of the remaining liquid on my thumb and it quickly turned porcelain white and burned like fire. I dropped the remainder in the sink where it quickly decomposed and bubbled on it's way down the drain. The white coloration dissipated after about an hour but the burn area was red and irritated for about a week after.
    Anyway, it got me thinking if this could be done more quickly without decomposing the H2O2. Can it be that the dry CO2 was somehow preventing decomposition while taking water with it? If so how efficient is that? You'll see in my reply that I found a paper indicating you could actually create H2O2 in a CO2 solution with a Pb catalyst so I think there might be something to the CO2 thing. Is the pressure a factor? Is that keeping the H2O2 from decomposing?
    Food for thought.

    Do they make stir bars that are safe for cooking? I'm no Martha Stewart. Anything I cook needs to take care of itself or its gonna stick and/or burn. Growing up, my mother told me when I hear the smoke alarm, come on back inside the house because that means dinner's ready. So, it runs in the family. I hate standing around stirring things too. I can cook a great chuck roast though...in the oven.

    • @jamesg1367
      @jamesg1367 6 років тому +1

      I know no reason you couldn't buy brand-new lab glassware and/or such items as stir bars and so forth, clean the new items thoroughly and utilize them exclusively for preparing edibles. Stir bars are typically covered in Teflon, which is extremely inert and safe for cooking up to around 500F. But it's firm policy that equipment used in a lab must never come in contact with food. Keep kitchen and lab items strictly separate.

    • @thomasherzog86
      @thomasherzog86 6 років тому

      i cant think of much use as a cooking took for these... the thicker something gets, the less it will be mixed up by this. most times you need to stirr is, until starch etc. gets hard, which would, if at all, maybe get stirred in the middle of the beaker, but not on the sides because its not soft enough to overcome the adhesion. thats like just stirring in the middle of the pan.
      and dont forget; these machines cost much money, too much to simply try it out.

    I recommend a pressure vessel. Glass is nice and clean, but I've never seen a hydrogenation done in glass. Maybe 2 bar to start with. Include a pressure gauge so that you can see the hydrogen depletion.
    Purge the vessel with N2 (vacuume/fill at least 2 times) before adding the hydrogen.
    Purge the vessel with N2 when you remove the hydrogen, as the Pd/C can burn in air once it is saturated with H2 (I've seen it happen) it's not like Raney Nickel but can still happen.

  • @RiDankulous
    @RiDankulous 5 років тому

    I understand the purpose of your experiment and it is not cost related, but out of curiosity. I recently found another use of hydrogen peroxide besides putting on a cut or wound. It can be used in to garble in a solution that is 1/2 water and 1/2 hydrogen peroxide. It does not taste pleasant but isn't terrible. I had a sinus infection and thought maybe it had to do with a tooth problem, so I wanted my teeth nice and clean until I went to the dentist. No tooth problems! Hydrogen peroxide can also be used to gargle. Swashing the mix around the mouth for 1 minute kills a lot of bugs and apparently helps with bad breath.
    Hydrogen peroxide is very cheap at $0.50 a bottle.

    Cody, consider making a machine based on electrolysis of water, with the oxygen going to one batch of anthraquinone, and another hydrogenating it. You could switch them so that the hydrogenated would be then oxidized, water coming in along with a stabilizer, but that could be hard to set up.

    • @loganclementi8947
      @loganclementi8947 3 роки тому

      Maybe a side by side electrolysis in solution with a membrane that allows the polarity to be switched, along with maybe sodium carbonate, sodium borate, or urea to make the peroxide fall out of solution better. Of course, I don't know if palladium is a good catalyst while in such an environment, but maybe an organic catalyst that could maybe (I don't know if this is possible under normal circumstances) adduct with hydrogen, or maybe a reducing agent like benzoquinone that is easily reduced and oxidized to absorb and move the hydrogen. Something might have to be done to reduce issues with hydroxyl radicals oxidizing things too far, maybe something to stop that, too. Combined, I'm sure that the process can be done for you !

    • @loganclementi8947
      @loganclementi8947 3 роки тому

      Also for a electrolyte, you want something that doesn't mess up your solution, naoh would probably be bad because of the hydroxyl radicals, sodium carbonate would turn into co2 and naoh, maybe sodium iodate? No wait potassium iodide catalyses peroxide decomposition, chances are that would also do that. Maybe you could use pyridine as a catalyst or a adduct with it. Also perhaps aqueous acetonitrile could be used as a solvent, and as a way to reduce uncontrolled oxidation with the nitrile making less water available for electrolysis to suppress reactions? The acetonitrile could be hydrated to acetamide, from the overionized water too. Actually acetamide is good as an electrolyte, and I wonder if it would work as a solvent, and I am not sure if acetonitrile could hydrolyse to hcn off the top of my head or if the out of solution peroxide would dissolve in these or not some research is needed, and this is all based off general thinking.

    • @loganclementi8947
      @loganclementi8947 3 роки тому

      Maybe thioureas or 4 dimethyl aminopyridine

    • @loganclementi8947
      @loganclementi8947 3 роки тому

      Or maybe you could direct the hydroxyl radicals to do either something preferable, like doing oxidation by itself or winterizing to more peroxide, or maybe just have them quickly oxidizing each other to oxygen fast enough and with low over potential to hope that they don't oxidize anything.
