• An introduction to the preparation and properties of hydrogen peroxide;The activation of hydrogen peroxide using inorganic and organic species;The application of hydrogen peroxide for the synthesis of fine chemicals;The heterogeneous activation and application of hydrogen peroxide;The environmental application of hydrogen peroxide;Miscellaneous uses for hydrogen peroxide technology.

"... industrial chemists will welcome the applied chemistry details and the extensive references to the patent literature ... The book is recommended to industrial organic chemists and chemical engineers seeking environmentally friendly synthetic routes, and processes, and for those looking for treatment options for difficult waste streams. The monograph should be in every industrial library."
