Hydroperoxides
Hydroperoxides are one of the simplest forms of peroxides, but their role in industrial, medical, and everyday applications is far-reaching. These compounds are commonly used as bleaching agents, oxidizing agents, and disinfectants, making them essential in the production of paper, textiles, and personal care products. In industrial settings, hydroperoxides are essential in processes such as polymerization and chemical synthesis. Their strong oxidizing properties are also leveraged in environmental applications, including wastewater treatment and air purification, where they help break down harmful pollutants.
