Can microwaving hydrogen peroxide be dangerous?

well if he puts the xylene in the microwave i don't think we will hear from him again today.

It was not that long ago there was a man that used a mercury amalgamate to recover gold. he boiled it off in his house it killed him and his 2 kids .

Keep things like that in mind when you are dealing with chemicals you are not familiar with.

 

My Mom has more chemical expertise then I do. We are not going to do anything that can blow us up inside.

 

didn't blow them up fumes killed them ..

what are you trying to do remove the copper from the coin.

 

No, verdigris. Its not as easy as it sounds LOL.

 

Sorry. My glasses were in the other room. I didn't know he was with his Mom.
I was hoping to keep them out of harms way.

Plus, I'm not here to keep "OLD SCHOOL"
from being annoyed. It's what I do.

Now. Back to coins?:high5:

 

they make some stuff at the hobby store that will do that for ya. I'm not a big fan of the green color myself.

 

You will seriously do harm and ill to yourselves, those around you and your home if you are seriously messing about like this.

I would also advise you to NEVER use that Microwave for food again.:computer:

 

Why are you cooking cocktail shrimp? eat them chilled.

 

Garrett you aced chemistry , is there a way you could figure out what will happen before zapping it in a microwave , also taking it all outside is a good idea or at least getting out of the room with a fire extinguisher at the ready , and do invest in a mask that will filter chemicals .

What He said.

H2O2 is no long term threat.,,,....except to the magnatron and support system.

But ruining shrimp

 

Heating accelerates decomposition, releasing oxygen. Oxygen released on exothermic decomposition may support combustion in case of surrounding fire. Oxidizing agent, may cause spontaneous ignition with combustible materials. Contact with flammables may cause fire or explosions. At elevated temperature, hydrogen peroxide above 74% concentration can produce ignitable vapor.

Extinguishing Methods Common: Large quantities of water, water spray


Do not be a fool.... know what you are doing before you play with any chemical.

Although I seriously doubt that you could do much harm with peroxide (3 or 6% anyway), please do us a favor and ask first next time.

BTW, has anyone ever heard of using water baths to warm chemical for such things. It is a lot safer than nuking the chemical.

 

rlm....

We use waterbaths on a daily basis...the main problem with that is the higher temp you set, the greater evaporation that occurs. Covering the meniscus with ping pong balls reduces the evap quite a bit!

Dok... I gotta get one of those rocket engines to strap on my Harley. 1200 HP Yippie-Ki-Eyyyy. :bigeyes: Traci

 

You are talking sophisticated units. All I am talking about is a cup of hot water with a glass of "chemical" in it. When all you are trying to do is "clean" a coin, precise temp control is not critical, but it keeps everything away from sparks etc. and assures that you will not grossly overheat things.

BTW, I never heard of the ping pong balls before, but it sound like it would work.

 

Now there is some info from someone who has been to the library!

RickieB? Did you see my notes post? I posted them hoping you would leave some idea of what they were and if anybody seeks them.

This current household needs to look up classes of fire extinguishers, though I recommend a good old fashion CO2. Snuffs the O2, blows out the toxins from the microwave, causes the least residual harm and provides re~cooled shrimp, viable for consumption while they consider other ways to......well....that's up to them

 

What is the current word on ultrasonic cleaners for those so possessed?

 

Dok, we used them at work to clean aircraft parts. They work great, I know they would be OK for coins and no whizzing effect. Traci

 

Nice lookin ride! I've only had two HD's, so far.

1st one came in three boxes and I had to take it back apart to get it out of the basement after I assembled it so I could ride it in the driveway until I was old enough to get a license.

Then there was the old Sportster.

Three of us worked on it for a year but never got it street-legal.

We had to tote it to the track.
