Metrohm has announced the availability of a series of short monographs that set out the company's knowledge and experience in electrochemical analysis.
One group of theses short books presents the fundamentals of the various ion analytical methods.
A second group covers important fields of application.
Finally, a third group focuses on practical training in analytical methods for university students.
The Practical Titration tutorial is primarily intended for training purposes but can also be used to advantage in any laboratory.
It is intended to explain the theory in a simple manner and, by using practical examples, demonstrate just how versatile and accurate titrimetric analyses are.
Practical Aspects of Modern Titration covers the practical dimensions of sample preparation, presents the basic principles of titrimetric analysis and advice on how to perform titrations.
Practical Ion Chromatography (IC) demonstrates that IC is not just an analytical exaltation, but that it can provide fast answers to basic questions such as: Is the drinking water suitable for baby food? How much nitrate is there in the spinach? Is the wastewater hazardous to the environment? A separate theoretical part provides the theoretical background to understand the practical aspects.
Practical Voltammetry describes 13 experiments intended to introduce the reader to the basic principles of polarography and voltammetry using a mercury electrode and provide examples showing the use of these methods in analytical chemistry.
Practical Thermometric Titrimetry is intended primarily for practicing industrial analytical chemists as an introduction to the technique of thermometric titrimetry.
The main purpose is to describe the basics of the technique as well as a range of applications that are suitable for use with the 859 Titrotherm thermometric titration system.
Voltammetric Analysis Methods in Electroplating presents 77 methods for determining a broad range of components of galvanic baths and sewages.
Analysis of Water Samples and Water Constituents with Metrohm Instruments explains which parameters and water constituents can be analysed with Metrohm instruments.
Air Monitoring by Ion Chromatography is a literature reference book for different types of air analysis.
Water Determination by Karl Fischer (KF) Titration describes the basics of Karl Fischer titration.
It covers the KF reagents, chemical reactions, volumetric and coulometric titration and the various detection methods, and deals with aspects such as interfering side reactions and sample preparation techniques.
The second part of the monograph contains detailed procedures for the determination of water in different samples and covers more than 900 substances.
