Publisher's Synopsis
This two-volumed work acquaints the reader with the principles of a wide spectrum of instrumental analytical methods, and in doing so, enables multidisciplinary solutions to practical problems. Analytical methods represent an inseparable part of research, not only in chemistry, but in other fields where chemical processes must be followed and clarified (e.g. industrial production, process control etc.). The rapid development of instrumentation, automation and computerization, which utilize many aspects of physics and mathematics, highlight the need for this clear and concise text which presents the most up-to-date information on this rapidly expanding area.;Volume 2 covers methods of decomposition of inorganic substances, analysis by headspace gas chromatography, and looks at inclusion compounds in chromatography. The chromatographic methods used in the analysis of phenols are discussed, and there is comprehensive coverage of both X-ray and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The book concludes with a discussion of neutron activation analysis, and the analytical use of charateristic radiation.
