Bücher der Reihe Analytical Chemistry

Presents an overview of the applications of ionic liquids in various areas of analytical chemistry, including separation science, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and sensors. This book examines ionic liquids in gas, liquid, and counter current chromatography, along with their use as electrolyte additives in capillary electrophoresis.

Explains the behavior of trace constituents in aquatic environments. This work discusses collection and preparation, modern extraction techniques, conservation and storage. It elucidates the use of passive dosimetry, mineralization techniques, speciation analytics, green analytical chemistry, and chemometric techniques.

Because of their simple preparation and low expense, carbon pastes as well as carbon paste electrodes are widely used in a myriad of instrumental measurements. With an emphasis on practical applications, this book provides a comprehensive overview of carbon paste electrodes. The text offers a systematic presentation of the individual procedures that are used for determining hundreds of various substances. With a list of up-to-date references, this handy reference source includes specific experimental data and serves as a practical guide for experimental laboratory work. As a result, it is suitable for researchers as well as for students in the field.

Quality and reliability are central to success in every discipline, but perhaps nowhere are they more important or more interconnected than in the practice of analytical chemistry. This work examines the various factors affecting these parameters in each step of the analytical process.

Based on our knowledge of the functioning human brain, ANNs (artificial neural networks) serve as a modern paradigm for computing. Drawing on the author¿s substantial experience, this book provides a comprehensive introduction and practical guide to the development, optimization, and application of ANNs in modern environmental and biological analysis. Presenting basic principles together with simulated biological and environmental data sets and real applications in the field, this volume helps scientists use the power of the ANN model to explain physical concepts and to demonstrate complex natural processes.

Covering the composition and underlying properties of freshwater and marine systems, this work provides a basis for understanding both. The authors employ a range of examples to explain the behavior of trace constituents in aquatic environments. They discuss collection and preparation, modern extraction techniques, conservation, and storage. They elucidate the use of passive dosimetry, mineralization techniques, speciation analytics, green analytical chemistry, and chemometric techniques. Extensive details on quality control and quality assurance provides a complete perspective on the difficulties of sample preparation in aquatic environments.
