A process for the production of PVP-H2O2 products in the form of free-flowing powders, or a free-standing, porous solid or foam, is described. To prepare free-flowing powders, a fluidized bed is maintained at a reaction temperature of about room temperature to 60 °C and is contacted with finely divided droplets of a 30 to 85 % by weigth aqueous H2O2 solution. Preferably the fluidized bed temperature is about 35°-45 °C, a 5-70 % H2O2 solution is used, and the feed rate of introduction of the H2O2 solution is about 5-50 g/minute/kg PVP present. The PVP-H2O2 product preferably contains about 15-24 %, preferably 18-22 %, H2O2 (1:1 molar ratio) and less than about 5 % water. |
