Abstract

A process for regenerating working solutions used in cyclic processes for the manufacture of hydrogen peroxide using anthraquinones, the process consisting of a first distillation stage in which the solvent is separated under a pressure not greater than atmospheric pressure, and a second distillation stage in which the quinones and "light degraded products" are separated under a lower pressure. All the distillation products are used as a new working solution, the vapors of the second distillation stage being condensed on a liquid film of constantly renewed cold solvent originating from condensable vapors of the first distillation stage.
