Publisher's Synopsis
This monograph on electroanalytical measurements in flowing liquids is one of the first broad-based treatments of this subject in modern analytical chemistry. It outlines trends for the future as well as describing current methods and principles of hydrodynamics and hydrodynamic electrochemistry.;The construction of detector cells, electrode materials, measuring techniques and instrumentation for individual types of flow-through measurements are discussed in detail and the operational parameters of various detector types and detection techniques are compared. The topics covered include industrial and laboratory continuous analyzers, continuous-flow and flow-injection analyzers, high-performance liquid- chromatography detectors, pumps, injection devices and auxiliary instrumentation. A number of analytical methods and representative analytical applications are discussed. The operation of electrochemical detection devices is critically evaluated and useful hints are given for the construction of electrochemical detectors and practical applications in analysis. Modern techniques, such as HPLC, CFA and FIA, that are of continuously growing importance in chemistry (especially in biological and clinical applications) and their role in environmental protection, agriculture and industry, are given particular emphasis.
