Zusammenfassung:PCT No. PCT/GB91/01700 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 2, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 2, 1993 PCT Filed Oct. 2, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/06918 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 30, 1992.Purification of aqueous hydrogen peroxide solutions using conventional ion-exchange techniques can result in the hydrogen peroxide decomposing explosively. Much safer processes are obtained by restricting the contact between the resin bed and the hydrogen peroxide solution to a very short contact time, by employing a treatment chamber that is vented to the atmosphere and also by slurrying the resin bed. The bed is conveniently retained on a mesh that acts as a filter (13) preferably conical having an aperture (17) at its apex through which is introduced a small fraction of the solution countercurrent (10) to the main solution flow (9) in order to slurry the bed (19). The solution can be recycled through the same bed or a plurality of beds. Very high purification can be achieved and combined with improved safety of operation.
