Publisher's Synopsis
Quantitative chemical analysis, deals with the determination of the amount or percentage of one or more constituents of a sample. A variety of methods is employed for quantitative analyses, which for convenience may be broadly classified as chemical or physical, depending upon which properties are utilized. Chemical methods depend upon such reactions as precipitation, neutralization, oxidation, or, in general, the formation of a new compound. Quantitative Chemical Analysis by Electrolysis offers consistently modern portrait of the tools and techniques of chemical analysis, incorporating real data, spreadsheets, and a wealth of applications, all presented in a witty, personable style that engages students without compromising the principles and depth necessary for a thorough and practical understanding. First chapter focuses on the developed protocols for gel data treatment that helped us to quantitatively describe the observed phenomenon of sequence-specific ultrasonic cleavage of DNA. Water electrolysis with inductive voltage pulses is presented in second chapter. The primary goal of third chapter is to explore the hypothesis that changes in pH during electrolysis can be detected with Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT). The goal of fourth chapter is to expand on earlier studies with small animals and use the pig liver to establish SEE treatment parameters of clinical utility. In fifth chapter, we have discussed the structural heredity of alloys upon remelting. In sixth chapter, we fermented thin stillage to generate a mixed VFA extract without chemical pH control. The objective of seventh chapter is to develop an effective means to remove the water pollutants by recovery of both lignin and sodium hydroxide from black liquor, based on electrolysis. Eighth chapter proposes a method to fixate CaCO3 stably by using relatively less energy than existing methods. Ninth chapter demonstrates about carbon-assisted water electrolysis. In tenth chapter, we test for the first time both ceramic components (61 mol% ZrB2-?SiC and 61 mol% TiB2-?SiC) as cathode rotating disk electrode RED for hydrogen evolution reaction HER and hydrogen oxidation reaction HOR in PEMFC. In last chapter, the goal is to produce hydrogen by water electrolysis, using photovoltaic solar energy. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
