description
Significance and Use
The magnitude of the peroxide number is an indication of the quantity of oxidizing constituents present. Deterioration of petroleum wax results in the formation of peroxides and other oxygen-carrying compounds. The peroxide number measures those compounds that will oxidize potassium iodide.
