This updated book of quantitative inorganic analysis has been extended to incorporate sections of basic theory and modern approaches to sampling as well as the attendant difficulties in obtaining representative samples from bulk materials. The statistics have been restructured to provide a logical stepwise approach and the section covering solvent extraction and chromatographic procedures has been extensively revised. details of Fourier Transform techniques and derivative spectroscopy are included for the first time along with a general up-date on instrument design. A full revision has been made of the appendices and other tables have been extended to include more organic compounds and additional appendices include correlation tables for infrared, absorption characteristics for ultraviolet/visible and additional statistical tables along with essential atomic weights. chemistry is a substantial laboratory requirement, as well as for technicians and practising analysts.
