Applications of Hydrogen Peroxide and Derivatives- eBook
|
Beginning with an historical overview, and guidelines for the safe handling of peroxygens, this work goes on to cover key activation mechanisms, organic functional group oxidations and the use of hydrogen peroxide with heterogeneous catalysts. Beginning with an historical overview, and guidelines for the safe handling of peroxygens, this work 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 form their ores are also discussed in detail, using examples from history. The versatility of this reagent may well prove to be a key to integrated pollution control in the future. This book is therefore intended for academics and industrialists at all levels, to encourage wider applications of the use of hydrogen peroxide in laboratories. Introduction to the preparation and properties of hydrogen peroxide: introduction; industrial manufacture of hydrogen peroxide; physical properties of hydrogen peroxide; considerations for the safe use of hydrogen peroxide; toxicology and occupational health aspects of hydrogen peroxide; conclusion; references. Activation of hydrogen peroxide using inorganic and organic species: introduction; basic chemistry of hydrogen peroxide; activation of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of inorganic and organometallic species;a activation of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of organic compounds; stabilization of aqueous hydrogen peroxide; conclusion; references. Application of hydrogen peroxide for the synthesis of fine chemicals: introduction epoxidation of alkenes; hydroxylation of olefins; oxidation cleavage of olefins; oxidation of alcohols; oxidation of carbonyl compounds -oxidation of aldehydes, oxidation of ketones;; oxidation of aromatic side-chains; oxidation of organo-nitrogen compounds; oxidation of organo-sulphur compounds; halogenation; reactions of aromatic nuclei; conclusions; references. Heterogeneous activation and application of hydrogen peroxide: introduction; redox zeolites; non-crystalline heterogeneous catalysts; conclusion; references. Environmental applications of hydrogen peroxide: introduction; advanced oxidation processes; Fenton's treatment; cyanide and NOx control; control of reduced sulphur species; contaminated site remediation; waste water treatment; conclusion; references. Miscellaneous uses for hydrogen peroxide technology: introduction; chemical purification; pulp and paper; hydrometallurgy and metal finishing; conclusion references. Subject index.
