Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate is a chemical substance with formula Na2H3CO6.
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate is an adduct of sodium carbonate ("soda ash" or "washing soda") and hydrogen peroxide (that is, a perhydrate) whose formula is more properly written as 2 Na2CO3 · 3 H2O
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate is a colorless, crystalline, hygroscopic and water-soluble solid.
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate is sometimes abbreviated as SPC.
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate contains 32.5% by weight of hydrogen peroxide.
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate is used in some eco-friendly bleaches and other cleaning products.
History of Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate was first prepared in 1899 by Russian chemist Sebastian Moiseevich Tanatar (7 October 1849 – 30 November 1917).
Structure of Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate
At room temperature, solid sodium percarbonate has the orthorhombic crystal structure, with the Cmca crystallographic space group.
The structure changes to Pbca as the crystals are cooled below about −30 °C.
Chemistry of Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate
Dissolved in water, sodium percarbonate yields a mixture of hydrogen peroxide (which eventually decomposes to water and oxygen), sodium cations Na+, and carbonate CO2−3.
Production of Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate is produced industrially by crystallization of a solution of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide, with proper control of the pH and concentrations.
This is also a convenient laboratory method.
Alternatively, dry sodium carbonate may be treated directly with concentrated hydrogen peroxide solution.
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate may also be formed from a process starting from sodium peroxide; when absolute ethyl alcohol reacts with sodium peroxide at 0 °C, a perhydroxide is produced.
C2H5OH + Na2O2 → O:NaOH + C2H5ONa.
Carbon dioxide converts it into sodium hydrogen percarbonate.
World production capacity of this compound was estimated at several hundred thousand tons for 2004.
Uses of Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate
As an oxidizing agent, sodium percarbonate is an ingredient in a number of home and laundry cleaning products, including non-chlorine bleach products such as Oxyper, OxiClean, Tide laundry detergent,and Vanish.
Many commercial products mix a percentage of sodium percarbonate with sodium carbonate.
The average percentage of an "Oxy" product in the supermarket contains 35–40% sodium percarbonate with about 5% active oxygen when titrated.
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate is also used as a cleaning agent in homebrewing.
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate can be used in organic synthesis as a convenient source of anhydrous H2O2, in particular in solvents that cannot dissolve the carbonate but can leach the H2O2 out of it.
A method for generating trifluoroperacetic acid in situ for use in Baeyer–Villiger oxidations from sodium percarbonate and trifluoroacetic anhydride has been reported; it provides a convenient and cheap approach to this reagent without the need to obtain highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide.
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate appears as a colorless, crystalline solid.
Denser than water.
May combust in contact with organic materials.
Contact may irritate skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
May be toxic by ingestion.
Used to make other chemicals.

Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate is a granular chemical which is the active ingredient in certain algaecide and fungicide products.
The end product containing this active ingredient acts as an oxidizing agent and thus kills the target algal and fungal pests.
The product is used outdoors for treating ornamental plants, turf grasses, and terrestrial landscapes.
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate is used, as well, for treatments in commercial greenhouses, garden centers and plant nurseries, including their storage areas.
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate is a mineral-derived salt that usually appears in the form of a white crystalline powder.
We use this ingredient as an oxidizing agent in some of our high-performance products for stain removal and improved cleaning.
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate can be produced by reacting sodium carbonate (washing soda) with hydrogen peroxide.
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate's commonly used in cleaning products as a bleach activator, contributing oxygen to help remove colour pigments, soils and stains from dirty dishes or laundry, restoring them to their normal oxidized state.
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate (SCP) is a granular algaecide containing H2O2 as an active ingredient to control growth of noxious algae.
Measurements of sensitivities of target and non-target species to hydrogen peroxide are necessary for water resource managers to make informed decisions and minimize risks for non-target species when treating noxious algae.
Chemically speaking, Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate is used as an alternative to hydrogen peroxide.
The chemical sodium percarbonate formula is C2H6Na4O12.
Setting up sodium percarbonate involves gradually introducing sodium peroxide to extremely cold pure alcohol.
In a relatively short time, sodium percarbonate dissolves in water, releasing sodium carbonate peroxide and hydrogen peroxide into the solution.
The percarbonate breakdown can be accomplished with the little moisture in the atmosphere.
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate combines two compounds, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium carbonate.
Other names for it include Peroxy sodium carbonate and Oxyper.
The chemical percarbonate formula indicates that the pure sodium percarbonate includes 67.5 percent sodium carbonate and 32.5 percent percarbonate hydrogen peroxide (based on weight).
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate is a white, crystalline powder called sodium percarbonate.
Most commonly, Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate is used as a bleaching agent in laundry detergents, washing supplements, and products for automatic dishwashers.
Consumers can also buy the 100% pure product as a laundry component.
Additionally, dental, multipurpose, and drain cleaning products may contain percarbonate.
In water, sodium percarbonate dissolves quickly and breaks into sodium carbonate peroxide and percarbonate hydrogen peroxide.
The following are the physical properties of Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate:
-It’s a powder-like substance with no smell.
