Pyrolysis of Organic Molecules with Applications to Health and Environmental Issues, the 28th volume in the Techniques and Instrumentation in Analytical Chemistry series, gives a systematic and comprehensive description of pyrolysis of non-polymeric organic molecules. Pyrolysis is involved in many practical applications as well as in many common human activities, but harmful compounds can be generated in the process. The study of pyrolysis and of the formation of undesirable compounds as a result of pyrolytic processes is of considerable interest to chemists, chemical engineers, and toxicologists. - Pyrolysis results for compounds not previously studied or reported - Updated information from a large body of results published on pyrolysis of individual compounds or classes of compounds - Information on mechanisms and kinetics of numerous pyrolytic processes
Analytical Pyrolysis of Synthetic Organic Polymers is a follow-up to Analytical Pyrolysis of Natural Organic Polymers, which is volume 20 of the series. The main focus of the book is on practical applications of analytical pyrolysis in synthetic organic polymer identification and characterization. The first part of the book has five chapters including an introduction, a discussion on physico-chemistry of thermal degradation of synthetic polymers and on instrumentation used in analytical pyrolysis, a chapter discussing what type of information can be obtained from analytical pyrolysis, and a chapter dedicated to the analysis and characterization of synthetic polymers.The second part systematically covers the analytical pyrolysis of various classes of synthetic polymers. Some theoretical background for the understanding of polymer structure using analytical pyrolysis is also discussed.* Includes broad coverage of organic synthetic macromolecules* Focuses on physico-chemistry of thermal degradation, and the analytical pyrolysis of various classes of synthetic polymers* Is well written and suitable for both researchers and chemists working in analytical chemistry or in synthetic polymers
Modern Sample Preparation for Chromatography, Second Edition explains the principles of sample preparation for chromatographic analysis. A variety of procedures are applied to make real-world samples amenable for chromatographic analysis and to improve results. This book's authors discuss each procedure's advantages, disadvantages and their applicability to different types of samples, along with their fit for different types of chromatographic analysis. The book contains numerous literature references and examples of sample preparation for different matrices and new sections on green approaches in sample preparation, progress in automation of sample preparation, non-conventional solvents for LLE (ionic liquids, deep eutectic mixtures, and others), and more. - Presents numerous techniques applied for sample preparation for chromatographic analysis - Provides an up-to-date source of information regarding the progress made in sample preparation for chromatography - Describes examples for specific types of matrices, providing a guide for choosing the appropriate sample preparation method for a given analysis
Method Development in Analytical HPLC presents the essential information for understanding the process of developing an HPLC method of analysis. It includes foundational information related to HPLC, as well as discussion of sample types, the properties of analytes and matrices in the samples, and sample preparation. The core of the book describes the best ways for approaching method development in various types of HPLC and the criteria for method optimization and validation. This book provides clear guidance for adopting analytical methods from the literature and describes the development of original methods with selection of the suitable type of HPLC, of specific columns, mobile phase, and detection techniques with an emphasis on the use of mass spectrometry for detection, as well as optimization and validation of the chosen analytical method. The book includes useful details on method development for specific types of chromatography such as RP-HPLC, HILIC, ion exchange, size exclusion, and chiral.Method Development in Analytical HPLC also includes information about green chemistry in analytical methods, computer assisted method development, and other key contemporary aspects of the subject. - Offers a systematic and logical presentation of the foundational of analytical HPLC - Goes in-depth on method development for specific types of chromatography such as RP-HPLC, HILIC, ion exchange, and size exclusion - Includes methods with an emphasis on the use of mass spectrometry for detection
This book discusses in a systematic manner the role of separation in HPLC, the types and characteristics of stationary phases and of mobile phases used in this technique, as well as other factors influencing the separation. The selection process of stationary and mobile phase for a specific separation is described as related to the physico-chemical characteristics of the molecules to be separated and of their matrix. All these subjects are discussed from the point of view of the new developments in HPLC. The book also includes a part presenting the practice of modern HPLC as necessary for applications, particularly related to the analysis of pharmaceutical and biological samples, food and beverages, environmental samples, etc. Gives a clear presentation of notions and conceptsDiscusses key parameters in HPLC separationIncludes modern developments in HPLCDescribes interrelation between various HPLC features (solvent pressure, separation, detection)Includes a large number of references.
