New knowledge丨 Insects use it to fart, but I use it to wash clothes

author:Voice of the Chinese Academy of Sciences

Time in Huairou reading

It is one of the most beautiful experiences of xiaobian's academic career

In Yanqi Lake, I met the beautiful campus and the clear starry sky

And the uninvited guests in the dormitory

- Hemp Bug (Bed Bug)

New knowledge丨 Insects use it to fart, but I use it to wash clothes

Hemp skin bugs

This insect has stink glands

It can secrete substances such as nonenal and decanoal

Will spray self-protection when threatened

It's indescribable and enduring

Left an unforgettable memory for the editor...

However, the hemp skin bug is compared to the one below

That's really a little witch to see a big witch

Acute toxicity, high temperature burning

Biocatalysis, targeted attack...

These enemy defense mechanisms are all housekeeping skills of the fart infantry

It is a class of insects in the genus Ass in the family Buaceae

In order to resist the attack of ants and other creatures

They spray hot venom against enemies

And their housekeeping skills all depend on

Hydrogen peroxide and catalase in the body

New knowledge丨 Insects use it to fart, but I use it to wash clothes

Arsenal of ass armor

Glands of the ass can secrete hydrogen peroxide and hydroquinone

and store in a storage room

Hydrogen peroxide and hydroquinone enter the reaction chamber

It reacts with catalase

where hydrogen peroxide is under the action of catalase

Produces a lot of oxygen

On the one hand, oxidizes hydroquinone for

Benzoquinone with toxicity and irritation

On the other hand, it also acts as a booster

Spray the liquid out of the body

The attack range of the fart cloth armor is 360° and there is no dead angle

Due to the large amount of heat released by the reaction process

The liquid can be heated to about 100 °C

It's a skill that is full of physical and spell attacks

Hydrogen peroxide in the body of the fart cloth nail is a kind

Non-toxic and non-polluting green oxidant

Its decomposition products are water and oxygen

So it's not just insects

Humans also use hydrogen peroxide as a booster for aircraft

Back in World War II

Germany adopts "t-stoff"

(80% hydrogen peroxide and 20% aqueous phosphate solution)

It is used as a propellant in military fields such as torpedoes

The thrust of the V-2 rocket is 10 times higher than that of other rocket engines before it

V-2 rocket engine

Hydrogen peroxide can also be used for chemical synthesis

When reducing the hydrogen peroxide concentration to about 3%.

It is a commonly used medical disinfectant

At the same time hydrogen peroxide acts as an oxidant

Stubborn contaminants and microorganisms can also be removed

It is used in processes such as silicon wafers, separation membrane cleaning as well as destaining and laundry bleaching

New knowledge丨 Insects use it to fart, but I use it to wash clothes

Hydrogen peroxide cleaning separation membrane modules

At present, hydrogen peroxide mainly relies on anthraquinone or

Direct synthesis using hydrogen and oxygen

However, the preparation process is complex and the energy consumption is high

At the same time, hydrogen peroxide is unstable, which has potential safety hazards in the storage and transportation process

New knowledge丨 Insects use it to fart, but I use it to wash clothes

Anthraquinone hydrogen peroxide production process

It is expected by electrochemical synthesis or photocatalysis

Hydrogen peroxide is produced in situ

Where electrochemical synthesis can be done separately

Redox hydrogen and oxygen and produce hydrogen peroxide

And in the photocatalytic process

Photocatalysts in the valence band

An electron is excited into the conduction band by absorbing photons

This allows the valence band to retain a positive charge

Form electron hole pairs

and further by redox reaction

Hydrogen peroxide is produced

Maybe in the near future

Hydrogen peroxide can

Realize green and clean industrial production

New knowledge丨 Insects use it to fart, but I use it to wash clothes

Electrocatalytic, photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production mechanism

Can clean, can go to heaven, but also put a hand "good fart"

Such hydrogen peroxide

Do you love?
