Nuclear Analytical Chemistry: Volume 1 Theory - Ellis Horwood Series in Analytical Chemistry.

This important new two-volume work covers all aspects of radioanalytical chemistry and will become a classic reference source of lasting value. It begins with theoretical matters, which are spanned in Volume 1 from measurement of natural radioactivity, or activity induced by irradiation with neutrons and other particles, through all aspects of isotope dilution analysis (IDA), radioreagent methods, radiometric titration, radioimmunoassay and other biological applications, through to absorption and scattering methods. The latter are contained in Volume 2.;The authors are experts of world renown, who commence with a definition and classification of analytical chemistry methods. The naturally occuring radioactive elements covered include potassium, polonium and uranium, whilst other types of analysis by means of activity include gamma-ray and alpha spectrometry. The work will be of use to analytical chemists, radioanalytical chemists, nuclear chemists, biological chemists, biotechnologists and laboratory technicians in these areas seeking information on automated equipment.
