Abstract
Even if H2O2 decomposition is too slow today, the analysis of such a process is important, as under volcanic influence more effective decomposition might take place in thin interfacial liquids close to the climate of today if released sulfur produces pH<4.5. Large quantity and widespread occurrence of bulk liquid phase are not expected in the Amazonian period, but interfacial liquid water probably appeared regularly, and its locations, especially during volcanically active periods, might make certain sites than others more interesting for astrobiology with the lower concentration of oxidizing H2O2.
