Presents a unified treatment of multichannel detection systems in the uv/visible range of the spectrum as they relate to multielement spectrochemical analysis. Bridges the gap between the physics and engineering aspects of multichannel detection and analytical chemistry. First section deals with the foundation optical principles of modern experimental spectroscopy. Second section treats the basic operation of detectors for optical spectroscopy, and the third discusses topics related to combining detectors with optical spectrometers to produce detection systems for multielement analysis.
Describes the basics of analytical techniques, sampling and data handling in order to improve quality control in analytical laboratory management. Stresses what quality parameters can be improved and which ones should be rectified first. This edition includes numerous modern methods and the latest developments in time-proven techniques.
Dealing with the principles of calibration--both the theoretical and mathematical constructs which relate features of calibration equations to the physical phenomena that affect instruments and samples used on generating information. Among derivations in leading spectroscopic and statistical literature, numerous necessary mathematical derivations have been specifically designed for this book. Covers the practical aspects of generating a calibration equation including how to recognize and deal with various types of problems affecting calibration dataset, relating theoretical ideas, and their affect on data and how to deal with unusual situations.

Quality measurement, control, and improvement in combinatorial chemistry Combinatorial chemistry has developed rapidly in the past decade, with great advances made by scientists working on analysis and purification of a large number of compounds and the analysis of polymer-bound compounds. However, formidable challenges lie ahead of today's researcher. For example, high-throughput analysis and purification technologies must be further developed to ensure combinatorial libraries are "purifiable," and "drugable." To this end, Analysis and Purification Methods in Combinatorial Chemistry describes various analytical techniques and systems for the development, validation, quality control, purification, and physicochemical testing of combinatorial libraries. A new volume in Wiley's Chemical Analysis series, this text has four parts covering: * Various approaches to monitoring reactions on solid support and optimizing reactions for library synthesis * High-throughput analytical methods used to analyze the quality of libraries * High-throughput purification techniques * Analytical methods applied in post-synthesis and post-purification stages Drawing from the contributions of respected experts in combinatorial chemistry, this comprehensive book provides coverage of applications of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) technologies, as well as other analytical techniques. This eminently useful volume is an essential addition to the library of students and researchers studying or working in analytical chemistry, combinatorial chemistry, medicinal chemistry, organic chemistry, biotechnology, biochemistry, or biophysics.

A timely, hands-on guide to environmental issues and regulatory standards for the petroleum industry Environmental analysis and testing methods are an integral part of any current and future refining activities. Today's petroleum refining industry must be prepared to meet a growing number of challenges, both environmental and regulatory. Environmental Analysis and Technology for the Refining Industry focuses on the analytical issues inherent in any environmental monitoring or cleanup program as they apply to today's petroleum industry, not only during the refining process, but also during recovery operations, transport, storage, and utilization. Designed to help today's industry professionals identify test methods for monitoring and cleanup of petroleum-based pollutants, the book provides examples of the application of environmental regulations to petroleum refining and petroleum products, as well as current and proposed methods for the mitigation of environmental effects and waste management. Part I introduces petroleum technology, refining, and products, and reviews the nomenclature used by refiners, environmental scientists, and engineers. Part II discusses environmental technology and analysis, and provides information on environmental regulation and the impact of refining. Coverage includes: * In-depth descriptions of analyses related to gaseous emissions, liquid effluents, and solid waste * A checklist of relevant environmental regulations * Numerous real-world examples of the application of environmental regulations to petroleum refining and petroleum products * An analysis of current and proposed methods of environmental protection and waste management
