Publisher's Synopsis
"Reagent Chemicals" provides specifications and analytical procedures to assure the quality of your chemicals. ACS specified reagent chemicals are the choice of most organizations such as APHA, ASTM, FCC, SEMI, USP, etc., and many regulatory agencies, such as the EPA.;Improved and expanded, the eighth edition of this reference now comes in a user-friendly format that makes look-up quick and easy. It offers information on atomic absorption spectrophotometry, chromatography, colorimetry and turbidimetry, direct electrometric methods, gravimetric methods, measurement of physical properties, reagent solutions, solid reagent mixtures, solvents for special purposes, specifications and tests, standard volumetric solutions, and titrimetry.;New in this edition are a section on determining detection limits, the general elimination of boiling point and density specifications, the use of LC in assay determinations, and a section on preparation of volumetric solutions. 24 new reagents have been added.;Updated methods include gas chromatography where capillary columns are now used, water determinations where coulometric methods have been added, and the replacement of flame emission techniques by atomic absorption for metal determinations. In addition, the general methods for chromatography and atomic absorption have been extensively revised to reflect their practical use in today's typical analytical laboratory.
