Information On Sodium Peroxide From Wikipedia

Sodium peroxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Na2O2. This yellowish solid is the product of sodium ignited in excess oxygen. It is a strong base. This metal peroxide exists in several hydrates and peroxyhydrates including Na2O2·2H2O2·4H2O, Na2O2·2H2O, Na2O2·2H2O2, and Na2O2·8H2O. The octahydrate, which is simple to prepare, is white, in contrast to the anhydrous material.

Sodium peroxide hydrolyzes to give sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide according to the reaction

Na2O2 + 2 H2O → 2 NaOH + H2O2


Sodium peroxide was used to bleach wood pulp for the production of paper and textiles. Presently it is mainly used for specialized laboratory operations, e.g., the extraction of minerals from various ores. Sodium peroxide may go by the commercial names of Solozone and Flocool. In chemistry preparations, sodium peroxide is used as an oxidizing agent. It is also used as an oxygen source by reacting it with carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and sodium carbonate:

2 Na2O2 + 2 CO2 → 2 Na2CO3 + O2

It is thus particularly useful in scuba gear, submarines, etc. Lithium peroxide has similar uses. Read more here.
