What is magnesium peroxide?
Magnesium peroxide is a fine, odorless and tasteless, white powder. When the pH shifts toward neutral, magnesium peroxide slowly releases oxygen via intermediate formation of hydrogen peroxide. Magnesium peroxide is primarily used as the main oxygen source for in-situ bioremediation. It also finds use in oxygenating the lower parts of artificial or natural lakes, as well as wastewater and effluent, in coating seeds to improve germination and seedling survival rates, in oxygenating the roots of plants, and as the bleach agent in personal formulations.
