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.

Peroxide Question
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.
