Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""Official and Provisional Methods of Analysis, Association of Official Agricultural Chemists (1910)"" is a comprehensive guide to the various methods of chemical analysis used in the agricultural industry. Written by Harvey Washington Wiley, a prominent chemist and former head of the United States Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Chemistry, this book provides a detailed overview of the official and provisional methods of analysis recommended by the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists (AOAC) in 1910.The book is divided into several sections, each covering a different aspect of chemical analysis. The first section provides an introduction to the AOAC and its role in establishing standards for analytical methods used in the agricultural industry. The second section covers the general principles of chemical analysis, including the use of reagents, indicators, and standard solutions.Subsequent sections cover specific methods of analysis for various agricultural products, such as milk, meat, cereals, and fertilizers. Each method is described in detail, including the equipment and reagents required, the procedure for conducting the analysis, and the calculations necessary to interpret the results.Overall, this book provides a valuable resource for anyone involved in the agricultural industry, including farmers, food processors, and laboratory technicians. It offers a comprehensive guide to the most up-to-date and reliable methods of chemical analysis, as recommended by the AOAC in 1910.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
