Hair dye manufacturers could make hydrogen peroxide on-site
Researchers say they have developed an energy efficient way of producing hair bleacher hydrogen peroxide allowing personal care product companies to make the chemical themselves.

Current manufacturing methods are so energy intensive they require bulk production in high concentrations, usually by specialist chemical companies. But the EU-funded AURICAT project found that catalysing the chemical with gold and palladium reduced the energy required for this process.
