In the 1960s, the development of inductively coupled plasmas (ICP) as excitation sources for atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) permitted, for the first time, the convenient, simultaneous determination of a number of chemical elements in solutions. In two self-contained volumes, this is the first definitive text/reference on ICP-AES since the introduction of this important analytical technique.

Part 1 of Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectroscopy covers the basis of ICP-AES as an analytical method and discusses fundamental analytical concepts, performance, and figures of merit;...

In this revised and updated edition of his successful reference, Jungreis shares his expertise with readers to explore the contemporary utilization of simple spot and screening tests in clinical forensic, geochemical, and environmental applications. Its broad range makes it ideal for use in the chemical analysis of food, air, water, forensic studies, and any area where quick, on-the-spot chemical analysis is required. The new edition features the latest techniques in the field.

Graphite furnace atomic absorption (GFAA) is an analytical laboratory technique used to examine materials in their vapour state by atomizing the sample in a graphite furnace. This method is used mostly in materials science and environmental analysis to examine alloys, polymers, ceramics, composites, and wastewater

High Performance Capillary Electrophoresis (HPCE) is the technology for the separation and analysis of chemical compounds. For example, HPCE is used in drug testing to separate the blood into various components.

This self-contained book provides modern and practical analytical methodologies for the assays in foods, pharmaceuticals and clinical samples. It covers the fat-soluble Vitamins: A, beta-carotene, D, E and K as well as the water soluble vitamins, C, folate, thiamin, biotin, pyridoxin and cyancobalims.

The use of analytical methods in studies concerning works of art and archaeological artifacts provides essential information on the materials they are made from, including their composition, age, and methods used in their production. This book explains how to use analytical methods to obtain such information.

This new edition of a successful, bestselling book continues to provide you with practical information on the use of statistical methods for solving real-world problems in complex industrial environments. Complete with examples from the chemical and pharmaceutical laboratory and manufacturing areas, this thoroughly updated book clearly demonstrates how to obtain reliable results by choosing the most appropriate experimental design and data evaluation methods.
Unlike other books on the subject, Statistical Methods in Analytical Chemistry, Second Edition presents and solves problems in...

X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, one of the most powerful and flexible techniques available for the analysis and characterization of materials today, has gone through major changes during the past decade.
Fully revised and expanded by 30%, X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry, Second Edition incorporates the latest industrial and scientific trends in all areas. It updates all previous material and adds new chapters on such topics as the history of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, the design of X-ray spectrometers, state-of-the-art applications, and X-ray spectra.

Petroleum exhibits a wide range of physical properties. Numerous tests have been and continue to be developed to provide an indication of the means by which a particular feedstock should be processed. An initial inspection of the nature of petroleum provides deductions about the most logical means of refining and classifying. Handbook of Petroleum Analysis is a single, comprehensive source that describes the application and interpretation of data resulting from various test methods for petroleum feedstocks and products.

The need for the application of analytical techniques to petroleum has...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the first type of chemicals that were ever discovered to cause cancer in humans. They are found in cigarette smoke, in barbecued and smoked foods, in automobile and Diesel engine exhaust, fireplace smoke, and many other common things that people are exposed to. Analyzing for PAHs in the environment is important in identifying potential sources of cancer exposure and eliminating these as risks. The smaller PAHs, those of lower than 300 molecular weight, have been the most studied and have also been covered in several books. No books have dealt with...
