The answer depends of the intended use.  In the mid-Atlantic states, several disposal companies (RCRA-regulated TSDFs) will not, as a business practice, accept peroxide-forming materials at levels above 100 ppm.  Also, I recommend checking with laboratory reagent supplies such as J.T. Baker, Fisher, etc. on what they would consider as off-specification material.  I assume they will respond with the “it depends on use” or the generic 100 ppm answer.

All,

I have a question:   What concentration of peroxide do you folks use for your “acceptable” level?   What is the basis for this level?

Thanks for your help.
