Instrumental Methods for Determining Elements

Because of the wide variety of choices in available instrumentation to perform various types of analyses (of varying sensitivity and selectivity), this book provides an invaluable service to analysts in labs everywhere who need to decide which method to use, which instrumentation to purchase, who hesitate between one method or another, or are simply curious about methods they have not yet used. This book is adressed to analytical chemists and all other chemists and technicians who analyze samples. It is also a helpful tool for chemists, technicians and managers who need to recommend the purchase of instrumentation to their supervisors. The book will help relieve the pressure on the chemist who is expected to provide 'faster, more accurate, more precise, and less expensive' results. (From an article in C&E News, cited in the introduction.)'Dieses Buch will analytischen Chemikern, ihren Kunden, Wissenschaftlern und Technikern, die Elementanalysen durchfuhren, bei der Auswahl der richtigen Methode helfen.' (Aus dem Vorwort des Autors) Wegen der zahlreichen Moglichkeiten fur verschiedene Analysen (mit unterschiedlicher Empfindlichkeit und Auflosung) leistet dieses Buch einen unschatzbaren Dienst uberall dort, wo man sich entscheiden mu?, welche Gerate anzuschaffen oder welche Methoden anzuwenden sind, wo man zwischen zwei verschiedenen Verfahren schwankt oder wo man schlicht neue, bislang noch nicht angewandte Methoden kennenlernen will.

Das Buch richtet sich an analytische Chemiker und alle anderen Chemiker und Techniker, die Proben analysieren; es ist eine Hilfe fur Chemiker, Techniker und Laborleiter, die die Anschaffung von Geraten vor ihren Vorgesetzten rechtfertigen mussen.
Nutzen:
Indem es Chemiker von Anfang an die richtigen Untersuchungsmethoden auszuwahlen la?t, spart dieses Buch dem Leser eine Menge Zeit, Geld und Frustrationen. Damit hilft es einen Teil des Druckes abzufangen, dem Chemiker unterliegen, wenn sie ihre Resultate immer 'schneller, sorgfaltiger, genauer und billiger' erzielen sollen.

Larry R. Taylor and Richard B. Papp are the authors of Instrumental Methods for Determining Elements: Selection and Applications, published by Wiley. Instrumental Methods for Determining Elements Selection and Applications Larry R. Taylor Richard B. Papp Bruce D. Pollard Instrumental Methods for Determining Elements reviews and compares the most commonly used instrumental methods of elemental analysis, including atomic absorption and emission spectrometry, electrochemistry, potentiometry, chromatography, x-ray fluorescence, and combustion techniques. A brief introduction to the theory of these techniques is presented along with the factors that are important in selecting the proper technique for an application. Advantages and limitations of each instrumental method are detailed enabling the analyst to compare different techniques before choosing the most reliable and cost effective technique for their needs. Because of the wide variety of choices in the available instrumentation to perform various types of analyses, Instrumental Methods for Determining Elements is an essential resource for analytical chemists and chemical engineers who need to decide which method to use or which instrumentation to purchase.
