I was doing some reading on the metabolism of plants because I want to improve my fertilizer formula, and stumbled across an interesting part of cells called peroxisome. One of its functions is to help breakdown toxic substances and waste by producing hydrogen-peroxide (H2O2). I realized that any organic molecule fully oxidized would give water and carbondioxide.
For gluteraldehyde, (C5H8O2) the reaction would look like 12 H2O2 + C5H8O2 = 16 H2O + 5 CO2.
The interesting part is that the CO2 will be formed inside the plant cell, that is very efficient compared to dosing CO2 to the water column.
it is just a theory, but I wanted to share it and find out what you think about it?
