Flow Injection Analysis is a new edition of the flow injection analysis (FIA) text which has become a standard in the field in four languages. The book has been written by two pioneers in the field, who have themselves discovered many of the techniques and designed much of the equipment employed in FIA.

This text presents a unified treatment of multichannel detection systems in the UV/visible range of the spectrum as they relate to multielement spectrochemical analysis. It bridges the gap between the physics and engineering aspects of multichannel detection and analytical chemistry. The first section deals with the foundation optical principles of modern experimental spectroscopy. The second section treats the basic operation of detectors for optical spectroscopy, and the third discusses topics related to combining detectors with optical spectrometers to produce detection systems for...

A practical reference offering detailed descriptions of methods used to study the kinetic and thermodynamic interactions of a polymer within its environment. Each chapter addresses the theory, basic principles, instrumentation and apparatus of the polymer characterization methods.

Uses mathematical and statistical techniques to extract trends from chemical analysis. Introduces scientists to powerful new tools that will allow them to obtain massive amounts of data from computer-controlled instrumentation and then extract the information they need.

This is a broad-based, general book on high performance liquid chromatography, designed to be a standard in the field. Written by contributors who work at the cutting edge of the science, this text/reference provides chromatographers, and teachers and students of analytical chemistry with comprehensive coverage of the theoretical bases for HPLC. Contributions explain terminology, thermodynamics and kinetics, detectors and derivatization, stationary phases, separations, equipment, error analysis, and advanced techniques, such as supercritical fluid chromatography and field flow fractionation.

Describes several specific spectrometric techniques that are very useful in elucidating the fundamental nature of matter: EXAFS--Extended X-Ray Absorption of Fine Structure; SEXAFS--which is EXAFS applied to Surface Phenomena; and XANES--X-Ray Absorption Near Edge Structures. Articles explain the phenomena and describe examples of X-ray absorption applications in several fields, including chemistry, biochemistry, catalysis, amorphous and liquid systems, synchrotron radiation, and surface phenomena. Contributors explain the underlying theory, how to set up X-ray absorption experiments, and how...
