Chemistry Resources: Analytical Chemistry Resources

This second edition is designed to provide a detailed and comprehensive publication covering all facets of the science and practice of analysis. It includes comprehensive coverage of techniques used for the determination of specific elements, compounds and groups of compounds, in physical or biological matrices. It addresses applications of chemical analysis in all areas, ranging from such topics as medicine to environmental science, and geology to food science. Important characterisation techniques, such as microscopy and surface analysis are also included. The complete work consists of around 610 articles, each consisting of about 4000 words, figures and summary tables.

This book compiles analytical methods for gaseous, liquid, and solid samples, utilizing virtually all modern instrumental methods as well as conventional wet techniques of analysis, for samples ranging from industrial to environmental in origin. In 24 sections (three new to the original) plus seven appendixes, it abounds with tables of traditionally useful constants: selected equilibrium constants, redox potentials, solubility product constants, complex ion constants arranged by organic ligand, partition/distribution coefficients, and so on. There are tables on less conventional information such as properties of filter papers and glass microfibers.

The Handbook of Analytical Instruments offers you a complete guide to the principles and building blocks of today's high-tech instruments, so you can select the right analytical tools to optimize your projects and research. This expert resource takes you through flame photometers, radiochemical instruments, automated chemical analysis systems, blood gas analyzers, digital circuits, and much more. Filled with 100 detailed illustrations, the Handbook of Analytical Instruments fully explores: The integration of microcontrollers and personal computers, resulting in improved recording techniques and display systems, Advances in spectrophotometry, leading to ever-decreasing sample size and multi-sample analytical techniques, The latest electrochemical instruments- with greater speed, accuracy, and automation.

Collects the chemical formulas, phases, and properties of materials commonly used when performing gas and liquid chromatography, spectrophotometry, NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and atomic absorption spectrometry. The second edition updates tables and adds chapters on electrophoresis and electroanalytical methods.

Scientists in such fields as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and medicine are currently involved in investigations of porphyrins and their numerous analogues and derivatives. Porphyrins are being used as platforms for the study of theoretical principles, as catalysts, as drugs, as electronic devices, and as spectroscopic probes in biology and medicine. This handbook deals with the recent chemistry, physics, biology, and medicine of porphyrins and related macrocycles.
