The field of chemically modified particle surfaces has seen many significant developments. This text covers analytical and synthetic techniques for the development and understanding of these surfaces. Encompassing subjects including self-assembled monolayers, scanning probe microscopies, combinatorial synthetic techniques, plasma polymerizations and molecular modelling of modified surfaces, the book provides a snap-shot of concepts and tools.
Volume I contains a brief review of adsorption history and its development for practical purposes up until now. It also presents some important information on adsorbents and catalysts as well as on the methods of their characterization. The part of this volume dealing with practical industrial applications includes chapters presenting advanced technical tools for high capacity adsorption separation of liquid and gas mixtures, development of new adsorbents for removal of hazardous contaminants from combustion flue gases and wastewaters, degasification of coal seams and fabrication of inorganic membranes and their applications. A comprehensive review is also included on contemporary utility of...
This book brings together a number of studies which examine the ways in which the retention and selectivity of separations in high-performance liquid chromatography are dependent on the chemical structure of the analytes and the properties of the stationary and mobile phases. Although previous authors have described the optimisation of separations by alteration of the mobile phase, little emphasis has previously been reported of the influence of the structure and properties of the analyte.The initial chapters describe methods based on retention index group increments and log P increments for the prediction of the retention of analytes and the ways in which these factors are influenced by mob...
The Essence of Chromatography presents a comprehensive survey of modern chromatography and is intended as a suitable text for graduate level courses in the separation sciences and as a self-study guide for professional chromatographers wishing to refresh their background in this rapidly expanding field.This title is an effective replacement for Chromatography Today, written by the same author with Salwa K. Poole, which is considered to be one of the definitive chromatographic texts of the last decade. Its format is modular, with extensive cross-references to permit rapid location of re.
Illustrating developments in separation science and chromatographic analysis, this volume investigates trends in chemometrics, proteomics, column technology, and element-selective detection for pharmaceutical, medical, industrial and environmental applications.
This industrially relevant resource covers all established and emerging analytical methods for the deformulation of polymeric materials, with emphasis on the non-polymeric components. Each technique is evaluated on its technical and industrial merits. Emphasis is on understanding (principles and characteristics) and industrial applicability. Extensively illustrated throughout with over 200 figures, 400 tables, and 3,000 references.
As a spectroscopic method, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has seen spectacular growth over the past two decades, both as a technique and in its applications. Today the applications of NMR span a wide range of scientific disciplines, from physics to biology to medicine. Each volume of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance comprises a combination of annual and biennial reports which together provide comprehensive of the literature on this topic. This Specialist Periodical Report reflects the growing volume of published work involving NMR techniques and applications, in particular NMR of natural macromolecules which is covered in two reports: "NMR of Proteins and Acids" and "NMR of Carbohydrates, Lipids...
This practical, single-volume source collects up-to-date information on chromatographic techniques and methodologies for the solution of analytical and preparative problems applicable across a broad spectrum of disciplines including biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, environmental sciences, polymers, food additives and nutrients, pathology, toxicology, fossil fuels, and nuclear chemistry. It highlights real-world applications, easy-to-read fundamentals of problem solving and material identification methods, and detailed references. Written by over 180 esteemed international authorities and containing over 300 chapters, 2600 works cited, and 1000 drawings, equations, tables, and photographs, the Encyclopedia of Chromatography covers high-performance liquid, thin-layer, gas, affinity, countercurrent, supercritical fluid, gel permeation, and size exclusion chromatographies as well as capillary electrophoresis, field-flow fractionation, hyphenated techniques, and more.

How can the United States meet demands for agricultural production while solving the broader range of environmental problems attributed to farming practices? National policymakers who try to answer this question confront difficult trade-offs. This book offers four specific strategies that can serve as the basis for a national policy to protect soil and water quality while maintaining U.S. agricultural productivity and competitiveness. Timely and comprehensive, the volume has important implications for the Clean Air Act and the 1995 farm bill. Advocating a systems approach, the committee recommends specific farm practices and new approaches to prevention of soil degradation and water pollutio...
This volume reflects the importance of analytical separation methods in monitoring and identifying the many compounds of environmental importance. It includes chapters on the main groups of analytes of interest from PAHs and PCBs to phenols, sulphur compounds and pesticides. These methods illustrate the wide range of analytical techniques that have been employed in he measurement of environmental constituents and different matrices that have been examined.
