Description
Analytical Chemistry: A Practical Approach takes a hands-on approach to analytical chemistry, directly reflecting how chemical analysis is carried out in a range of contexts. It provides students with a clear and easy-to-remember framework through which they can develop their understanding of the analytical process and and draws on a wide range of everyday examples to illustrate the practical application of analytical chemistry, including environmental analysis and food analysis. The authors present students with a range of worked examples, activities and problems to develop the skills of application and problem-solving they will need in the real world.
Reviews / Votes
Potential purchasers should not expect a normal textbook of analytical chemistry... this book gives information on a range of topics not readily available in standard works on analysis and is a must buy for all analytical chemists. * Edward R. Adlard, Chromatographia * An excellent overview of the different techniques available and their applications. * Corey Evans, University of Leicester * Well-placed and well-contextualised activities allow students to try to implement their reading. * Michael Coffey, Nottingham Trent University * Clearly written with a great balance of theory and problems. * Panagiotis Manesiotis, Queen's University Belfast *More details
