Has anyone experimented with this? I'm sure I've seen it mentioned somewhere online, but can't find it now.. I saw a tub of it for £1.99 in Wilko's today ("Oxo-sure" or something, I'll get more details tomorrow), I didn't have any money on me but might pick some up tomorrow. It was a 2:3 ratio, but I can't remember which way round... At least, it said it was Na2CO3:H2O2 in a 2:3/3:2 ratio, but could be a compound I guess.
Seems to me that if you just add a little more acid to a primary peroxide synth then the H2O2 would be liberated for the reaction. Or it may have other uses, eg peracid production for oxidations, after you get rid of the carbonate.
Also, is this what is known as sodium percarbonate?
Sorry, I'm not really thinking, just posting a stream of consciousness here, as it comes into my head.
Well, it seems like interesting stuff to me, so I thought I'd make a topic for it. If you have experience with it, post. I'll pick some up tomorrow or this weekend and have a play with it.
