"Chemical Analysis is an essential introduction to a wide range of analytical techniques and instruments. Assuming little in the way of prior knowledge, this text carefully guides the reader through more widely used and important techniques, whilst avoiding excessive technical detail. Covering both instrumentation techniques and the situations in which they will be used, the text always strives to maintain a balance between breadth and depth of coverage. Carefully structured, this book clearly differentiates between separation and spectroscopic methods, and includes a dedicated section on more specialized techniques." "The Second Edition of Chemical Analysis has been fully revised and updated throughout and includes some of the emerging techniques such as APXS, AMS, IMS or devices such as AGS. A new chapter on Elemental Analysis has been added, and additional problems and solutions have been introduced throughout the book."--Jacket.
