Description: 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.
