Begins with a historical overview and guidelines for safe handling of peroxygens, then goes on to cover key activation mechanisms, organic functional group oxidations, and the use of hydrogen peroxide with heterogeneous catalysts. Discusses clean-up of environmental pollutants, chemical purification, and extraction of metals from their ores, using examples from industry. Coverage includes activation of hydrogen peroxide using inorganic and organic species, synthesis of fine chemicals, heterogeneous activation, and applications in pulp and paper and metal finishing.

Simple, but beautifully versatile. Perhaps not a description many would choose for hydrogen peroxide, but an accurate one none the less, and this unique book explains the reasons behind the description. Beginning with an historical overview, and guidelines for the safe handling of peroxygens, Applications of Hydrogen Peroxide and Derivatives goes on to cover key activation mechanisms, organic functional group oxidations and the use of hydrogen peroxide with heterogeneous catalysts. The clean-up of environmental pollutants; chemical purification; and extraction of metals from their ores are also discussed in detail, using actual examples from industry. The versatility of this reagent may well prove to be a key to integrated pollution control in the future. This book should therefore be read by academics and industrialists at all levels, to encourage wider applications of the use of hydrogen peroxide in laboratories.
