Description
Book SynopsisIncreasing environmental regulations have resulted in the need for new methods of analysis for environmental samples. As an updated version to Extraction Methods for Environmental Analysis published in 1998, Extraction Techniques in Analytical Science provides the fundamentals of extraction methods in environmental organic contaminants.
Trade Review"This book should prove valuable to undergraduate and graduate students who are using such extraction techniques in their research projects, especially those who wish to gain an understanding of a wide range of sample preparation and purification methods. The affordable price of this book is appealing, and its size should encourage its regular use . . . Extraction techniques in analytical sciences is a valuable book that discusses state-of-the-art extraction techniques that are employed in various laboratories, including those devoted to analytical chemistry." (Anal Bioanal Chem, 2010)
"Written as a self-study guide, the book is an ideal text for undergraduate and postgraduate students, but also for newcomers in the field interested in obtaining a general but complete overview of modern extraction techniques in use for the analysis of organic compounds in complex environmental samples." (Chromatographia, 1 December 2010)
