Hydrogen peroxide can be obtained by auto Oxidation of 2 -ethyl anthraquinol.

Hydrogen peroxide thus formed is extracted with water and the aqueous sol is concentrated by distillation under reduced pressure to give 40% H2O2 solution.
This process is very cheap because 2-Ethyl anthraquinone can be used again and again.
