Basic Concepts of Analytical Chemistry

Since the last revision of this book in 1999, there has been tremendous development in the field of Analytical Chemistry. In view of this, the book has been thoroughly revised as well as enlarged.

Thus, in the field of separation science, 3 new chapters (i) Super critical fluid chromatography and extraction (ii) Electrophoresis (iii) Capillary electrophoresis and Capillary electro-chromatography have been added. The two original chapters on chromatography general and ion exchange separations have been totally redrafted in view of new theories on exchange phenomena.

In the field of Chromatography 4 new chapters have been added. They are (i) X-ray spectroscopy (ii) Mössbauer spectroscopy (iii) Raman spectroscopy and (iv) Electron microscopy.

In frontier areas, three new chapters on (i) Chemiluminescence, Atomic fluorescence ionisation spectroscopy (ii) Chemical sensors and Biological sensors (iii) Refractometry and Interferometry have been added.
