Techniques and Practice of Chromatography

By Raymond P.W. Scott Copyright 1995

    This work introduces scientists of all disciplines to the chromatographic process and how it functions. The basic principles of chromatographic separation and specific chromatographic procedures, including gas, liquid and thin-layer chromatography, are covered. For each separation method the book details its characteristics, the instrumentation required, the procedures necessary for effective use, areas of application and examples of its use.;This work is intended for analytical chemists, laboratory technicians, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in analytical chemistry or separation science courses.

    The chromatographic separation; the mechanism of retention; peak dispersion; qualitative analysis; quantitative analysis. Part 1 Gas chromatography: the gas chromatograph; gas chromatography detectors; gas chromatography columns; gas chromatography applications; the liquid chromatograph; liquid chromatography detectors; liquid chromatography columns; liquid chromatography applications. Part 2 Thin layer chromatography: TLC apparatus; thin-layer chromatography techniques.
