Opis

The aims of this book are fourfold: (1) to introduce methods for the in-selective electrodes which have become commercially available in the last twelve years i.e. the residual chlorine electrode, the free hydrogen sulphide electrode, the solid-state mercurous chloride electrode, the barium-selective liquid membrane electrode, and the surfactant-selective liquid membrane electrode; (2) to provide fuller details of electrodes that had just appeared at the time of the first edition i.e. neutral carrier membrane electrodes for sodium, lithium and calcium; (3) to add new titrimetric and indirect e.g. hydrazine methods; and (4) to update earlier methods.

Potentiometric Water Analysis Second Edition Derek Midgley and Kenneth Torrance, National Power plc, Technology and Environmental Centre, Leatherhead, Surrey, UK This volume is a thoroughly revised and updated version of the very successful first edition. It provides, in one single volume, a comprehensive survey of the theoretical and practical aspects of potentiometry and ion–selective electrodes applied to the analysis of water. The first part of the book describes the basic theory of electrodes, the statistical treatment of results, titrimetric methods and general guidance on procedures. Useful information is given on the types of electrodes available, together with the apparatus required for laboratory and industrial use. For this second edition, the authors include details on microprocessor–based instruments, new electrodes and techniques that have recently been developed, as well as updating the variations on established procedures and their performance characteristics. The second part of the book gives detailed analytical methods for identifying a variety of determinands. Worked examples with discussions of sources of error and likely accuracy are also included. The book is designed to give sufficiently detailed procedures so that the reader can use the methods without recourse to the primary literature. With its emphasis on the practical aspects of potentiometric water analysis, this book will be a valuable tool for analysts working in the field.
