A process for production of hydrogen peroxide which comprises the following steps: (a) hydrogenation of a working solution comprising at least one non-ionic quinone compound selected from the group consisting of anthraquinone and its derivatives, phenanthrenequinone and its derivatives, naphthoquinone and its derivatives, and benzoquinone and its derivatives, wherein the total molecular weight of optional groups attached to the quinone skeleton is lower than 500, to obtain at least one corresponding hydroquinone compound; (b) oxidation of the at least one hydroquinone compound to obtain hydrogen peroxide; and (c) separation of the hydrogen peroxide, during and/or subsequently to the oxidation step b); wherein the working solution of either step a) and/or b) comprises less than 30% by weight of organic solvent. |
