Technological Product Made in Iran for Measuring Hydrogen Peroxide Used in Chemical Industries
“This technological product is capable of determining and measuring hydrogen peroxide used in chemical industries,” Fatemeh Honarasa, a faculty member of Islamic Azad University’s Shiraz branch, told ANA.
“With a technological method, we characterized and examined the nanostructures to act as a pseudo-enzyme. This product is used to measure hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) which is known as a color removing agent and used in many industries,” she added.
“Hydrogen peroxide is present in many biochemical reactions of the human body and animals, and its measurement is important to determine the biochemical mechanisms and processes,” the researcher explained.
“Hydrogen peroxide is important in industries because it is used in the production line and it is a very strong oxidant used for washing and cleaning spaces in commercial units, industries and health centers,” she noted.
"Measurement of very small amounts of hydrogen peroxide in the food industry is important because if it remains in food, it may cause many problems for the food industry," Honarasa said.
In a relevant development in May, Iranian specialists at a knowledge-based company managed to make a new type of water purification device and omit chemical preservatives from food industry by using the new cold plasma technology.
Erfan Sha’bani, who completed his bachelor's and master's studies in the field of chemical engineering with a focus on food industry at Islamic Azad University and is now a PhD student in food industry engineering at this university’s Varamin branch, is the founder of the knowledge-based ‘Cheshmeh and Khurshid Pharmed’ company.
“Our company is now active in the field of new cold plasma technology, which has led to manufacturing several products, including a device for producing water purified by cold plasma and replacing cold plasma with other technologies like chemical disinfection, chlorination, etc.,” he told ANA.
“We have also made several products of cold plasma for the purpose of non-thermal sterilization and pasteurization to increase the shelf life of sensitive agricultural products, which led to an increase in the storage period,” Sha’bani said.
“The technology developed by our experts can largely eliminate chemical preservatives and significantly reduce the production costs of products like drinking water and food packaging,” he underlined.
