The complex field of analytical chemistry requires knowledge and application of the fundamental principles of numerical calculation. Problems of Instrumental Analytical Chemistry provides support and guidance to help students develop these numerical strategies to generate information from experimental results in an efficient and reliable way. Exercises are provided to give standard protocols to follow which address the most common calculations needed in the daily work of a laboratory. Also included are easy to follow diagrams to facilitate understanding and avoid common errors, making it perfect as a hands-on accompaniment to in-class learning.Subjects covered follow a course in analytical chemistry from the initial basics of data analysis, to applications of mass, UV-Vis, infrared and atomic spectrometry, chromatography, and finally concludes with an overview of nuclear magnetic resonance. Intended as a self-training tool for undergraduates in chemistry, analytic chemistry and related subjects, this book is also useful as a reference for scientists looking to brush up on their knowledge of instrumental techniques in laboratories.
The first edition of this book was a first book for atomic spectroscopists to present the basic principles of experimental designs, optimization and multivariate regression. Multivariate regression is a valuable statistical method for handling complex problems (such as spectral and chemical interferences) which arise during atomic spectrometry. However, the technique is underused as most spectroscopists do not have time to study the often complex literature on the subject. This practical introduction uses conceptual explanations and worked examples to give readers a clear understanding of the technique. Mathematics is kept to a minimum but, when required, is kept at a basic level. Practical considerations, interpretations and troubleshooting are emphasized and literature surveys are included to guide the reader to further work. The same dataset is used for all chapters dealing with calibration to demonstrate the differences between the different methodologies. Readers will learn how to handle spectral and chemical interferences in atomic spectrometry in a new, more efficient and cost-effective way.

The book is intended as a tool for undergraduate students. As European Universities converged to the EEES Bologna space, the time available for theoretical and practical lessons at the classroom has reduced dramatically. The fundamental principles and basic theory of Analytical Chemistry, are covered by many wonderful textbooks but the numerical part is not so. Although it is true that many of them present some worked examples, the students need more support. Indeed many teachers observed a serious decline in the calculation capabilities of their students.This book is intended to help undergraduate students of Instrumental Analytical Chemistry to develop strategies to generate information fr...
This book covers both fundamental and practical aspects of chemical analysis: Data Process and Analysis; Chemical Equilibria and Volumetric titrations; Gravimetry; Spectrophotometry; Sample Preparation and Separation Methods in Quantitative Analysis. It was written with the rich tradition of teaching at Peking University College of Chemistry, and edited by an American professor who was personally sensitive to the needs of students learning science from traditional chemistry textbooks written in English. Many examples and illustrative problems in this text have been taken from previous textbooks by the Peking University Team Teaching Program. The book can be used as a starter in analytical chemistry which is fundamental and the base upon which chemistry is built. Traditional chapters of initial learning in analytical chemistry are included, such as volumetric, gravimetric and separation methods; the book also includes key chapters on problem solving relating to recent progress in analytical chemistry.
This book focuses on recent and future trends in analytical methods and provides an overview of analytical chemistry. As a comprehensive analytical chemistry book, it takes a broad view of the subject and integrates a wide variety of approaches. The book provides separation approaches and method validation, as well as recent developments and applications in analytical chemistry. It is written primarily for researchers in the fields of analytical chemistry, environmental chemistry, and applied chemistry. The aim of the book is to explain the subject, clarify important studies, and compare and develop new and groundbreaking applications. Written by leading experts in their respective areas, the book is highly recommended for professionals interested in analytical chemistry because it provides specific and comprehensive examples.
For decades gas chromatography has been and will remain an irreplaceable analytical technique in many research areas for both quantitative analysis and qualitative characterization/identification, which is still supplementary with HPLC. This book highlights a few areas where significant advances have been reported recently and/or a revisit of basic concepts is deserved. It provides an overview of instrumental developments, frontline and modern research as well as practical industrial applications. The topics include GC-based metabolomics in biomedical, plant and microbial research, natural products as well as characterization of aging of synthetic materials and industrial monitoring, which are contributions of several experts from different disciplines. It also contains best hand-on practices of sample preparation (derivatization) and data processing in daily research. This book is recommended to both basic and experienced researchers in gas chromatography.
Designed for a sophomore/junior course in analytical chemistry or quantitative analysis, this text focuses on the quantitative aspects of the discipline using a unified approach. Emphasis is placed on developing visual tools for understanding complicated solution equilibria. To these ends, extensive use is made of graphical methods, such as the easily sketched stick diagrams, which can be used to guide analytical calculations and takes the guesswork out of numerical approximations. Optional spreadsheet exercises are closely integrated with the text and can therefore serve to introduce the student to the use of computers for chemical calculations.
