This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Hydrogen peroxide cannot be concentrated by heating as it can cause bumps on heating. It can be extracted with water and concentrated to ~30% (by mass) by distillation under reduced pressure. It can be further concentrated to ~85% by careful distillation under low pressure. The remaining water can be frozen out to obtain pure H2O2.
