In industry,  Ferro sulfate solution is used to decompose residue of 
hydrogen peroxide or per acids and  works very good. Also a caustic 
solution will works as log you keep the pH of solution above 7. In any 
case you want to add your peroxide solution to the caustic or Fe+2  and 
monitor the active oxygen of the mixture not to concentrate it.

[DCHAS-L] FW: Inactivation of Meta chloro peroxybenzoic acid




Hey all you chemists out there!  I don't quite know where to begin to give 
my colleague, Dexter, advice.

Ideas?

We are using MCPBA to make some epoxides.  I need to purify the MCPBA 
before I use it and the wash and crystalization process leaves a 
significant anoumt in solution.  Usually dichloromethane. I will 
obviuosly discard this solution as toxic waste but I want to deactivate 
the MCPBA that remains.  I have read you can use NaI , ferrous ions, 
potassium hydroxide, sodium thiosulfate, etc.  What in your knowledge is 
the preferred method.  Thanks.   Dexter
