Abstract: The present invention provides a hydrogen peroxide solution for sterilization which has a hydrogen peroxide concentration of 30 to 45% by weight, an Fe concentration of 2 ppb or less and an Al concentration of at least 15 ppb and in which a concentration of a stabilizer comprising orthophosphoric acid is 40 ppm at the most. The above hydrogen peroxide solution for sterilization is used for sterilizing vessels filled with beverages and foods and packaging materials in an aseptic filling equipment. The above hydrogen peroxide solution for sterilization has less evaporation residue, does not clog a narrow piping part such as a spray nozzle and therefore makes it possible to stably operate an aseptic filling equipment. Further, an austenite base stainless material can be used as a material for the transporting facilities and the tanks.

Abstract: A purified aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide is produced by contacting an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide containing organic impurities with a hydrophilic porous resin (the product under a tradename "WOFATIT EP63", etc.) having a specific surface area of not less than 800 m.sup.2 /g to remove the organic impurities in the aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract: A process for producing a purified aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution comprising bringing an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution containing impurities into contact with an anion exchange resin in the fluoride form is disclosed.According to the process, impurities in the aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution, particularly impurities containing silicon, such as silicates and silicic acid, can efficiently be removed, and a purified aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution having a high purity can be obtained.

Abstract: Proposed is an improvement in a method for the preparation of an enriched and purified aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution from a crude aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution comprising the steps of evaporating the crude aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution in an evaporator into vapor with accompanying liquid in the form of a mist, separating the vapor from the mist of liquid in a gas-liquid separator and subjecting the vapor to fractionating distillation in a fractionating distillation column in order to greatly upgrade the product solution relative to the impurity content.
