Sicherheitsvalidierungstests für hochkonzentriertes Wasserstoffperoxid

Project: High Concentration Hydrogen Peroxide Safety Validation Testing

Jakusz SpaceTech Sp. z o.o. for the European Space Agency (ESA)

Jakusz SpaceTech Sp. z o.o. operates a unique production line capable of manufacturing 98%+ high-purity hydrogen peroxide (HTP) in compliance with the stringent MIL-PRF-16005F standard. Currently, the European market offers only hydrogen peroxide with a maximum concentration of 87%, which does not meet this specification. Under a project commissioned by the European Space Agency, the company is working toward introducing certified HTP for safe transport and distribution across Europe.

The project includes:

  • Legal analysis and transport classification under ADR regulations,
  • Certification of transport containers,
  • Development of analytical methods for product characterization.

High-concentration hydrogen peroxide is relatively stable only when produced under ultra-clean conditions and stabilized with specific additives. Even trace contaminants can initiate decomposition. The project will therefore focus on developing an optimized stabilizer formulation that ensures long-term stability without compromising catalyst performance in rocket engines.

Advanced analytical testing will be conducted to verify compliance with MIL-PRF-16005F, including the determination of anions (chlorides, phosphates, sulfates, nitrates), metal ions, ammonium, total organic carbon (TOC), and total residue after evaporation. Due to the highly oxidative and corrosive nature of HTP, tailored procedures for sample preparation and testing will be developed to prevent equipment damage and measurement errors.

Ion chromatography (IC) will be used for anion analysis, while metal content will be evaluated using both ICP-OES and ICP-MS techniques. Each method will undergo repeatability validation through five independent measurements.

Additional physicochemical properties will be assessed, including concentration (via density and titration methods), pH, electrical conductivity, and total dissolved solids (TDS).

The HTP product will undergo classification under the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Tests will evaluate explosive characteristics (shock sensitivity, heating effect, and closed ignition), as well as oxidizing and corrosive properties, and decomposition temperature.

The final stage of the project involves certification of 5L and 30L HDPE transport containers. These will be subjected to mechanical durability testing and six-month compatibility trials with HTP. Post-exposure chemical analysis will be conducted to assess any changes in HTP composition caused by container contact.
