"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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Clear authoritative information on a wonderful chemical reagent,

This review is from: Applications of Hydrogen Peroxide and Derivatives: (RSC Clean Technology Monographs) (Hardcover)
This book tells all about H2O2, the closest cousin of water:
It is "green", giving out water and oxygen as products / side-products. It is atom economic - often oxygen (16) is used out of H2O2 (34). It is versatile, useful in oxidation of many types of functional groups. It gives you control over various reactivities by additional reagents. It finds uses in various industries, hospitals and your home. It is safe when used properly. It is cheap. The book has large chemical structure drawings. Its language is crystal clear. Highly recommended to organic industry practitioners.
