Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

The book is divided into 20 chapters, ordered to cover general concepts in analytical chemistry: procedures based on wet chemistry and optical spectroscopy; the techniques of arc and spark emission spectrometry and ion-selective electrodes; and X-ray and micro-beam procedures. The volume concludes with chapters on geochemical applications of mass spectrometry. Practical details are complemented by parametric data including most sensitive lines, interference effects and detection limit data.
