Analytical Chemistry

Analytical Chemistry: A Modern Approach to Analytical Science, 2nd edition by Robert Kellner, Jean-Michel Mermet, Matthias Otto, Miguel Valcarcel, H. Michael Widmer (Wiley VCH) Why settle for less when you can have the whole of Analytical Chemistry in a single book?
The successful all-in-one guide to modern Analytical Chemistry is now available in a new and updated edition. From the foundations of analytical science to state-of-the art techniques and instrumentation -- all you will ever need to know is explained here. The text covers both general analytical chemistry and instrumental analysis and may be used for most analytical chemistry courses offered today.

Carefully chosen worked examples show how analytical problems can effectively be solved and how calculations should be performed. Study questions and recommended reading for further study are provided for each learning unit.

The second edition has been carefully revised to keep up-to-date with advances in the technology of analytical methods in the laboratory and in the workplace, including newly written chapters on multidimensional chromatography, sensors and screening systems.

With its broad scope, the text doubles as a reliable reference for virtually all analytical problems encountered during the course of study and beyond.

Excerpt: Analytical chemistry is – depending on the point of view – the oldest as well as the youngest branch of chemistry, the science of the transformation of matter. Claiming to be the oldest branch of natural philosophy (as "chemistry" has been described) goes back to the use of the Aristotelian syllogism for argumentation and proof (as shown in his "Analytiken"). Claiming to be the youngest branch became a possibility as "analytics" emerged as an own scientific discipline based on application of modem knowledge theories and information science in chemistry. The emancipation of analytical chemistry from chemistry began with Robert Boyle, continued with the activities of Lavoisier, Berzelius, Wöhler and Liebig, culminated the first time 100 years ago with Wilhem Ostwald (and his work Die wissenschaftlichen Grund-lagen der Analytischen Chemie) and led to its present autonomy as a separate, very complex and highly attractive branch of science, described in its fundamentals in this book. The development of analytical chemistry is still continuing at a dramatic rate: consider the dynamic impact of Jan Heyrovsky (Electroanalysis), Richard R. Ernst (NMR), Gerhard Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer (STM/AFM) to name just a few of today's great researchers. As a consequence of the early and continuing interest in this field, a wealth of empirical knowledge, both of fundamental and of practical importance, about the material world in and around us has been compiled.

Chemistry as a whole has evolved worldwide into a supporting pillar of human culture, industry and trade, providing numerous goods of urgent daily need for humankind, such as food, clothing, shelter, pharmaceuticals and materials essential for medical use, transport or communication. Purely empirical at first, and mainly a branch of medicine, today's chemistry is a modem experimental science under-pinned by physico-chemical and mathematical laws and has itself diversified into organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, food chemistry, chemical technologies, physical chemistry and lately analytical chemistry.

It is certainly true that modem analytical chemistry, with its plethora of sensitive and selective techniques, has also strongly contributed to the awareness of environmental problems and issues and to the establishment of quality control systems in industrial production, in the health area and in the environment. The world market for analytical instruments has grown significantly over the years into today's im­pressive 1000 billion US $ size. Under the "responsible care" program of today's chemical industry, misuse of unoptimized technologies will ultimately be banned. The principle of "sustainable development" has been accepted as a basis of the production philosophy of the major chemical companies in Europe and is under consideration elsewhere. Analytical chemistry has been given a decisive role in controlling the success of this process and in preserving the ecological balance of our world today.

The Division of Analytical Chemistry (DAC) of the FECS (Federation of European Chemical Societies) defines: "Analytical chemistry is a scientific discipline that develops and applies methods, instruments and strategies to obtain information on the composition and nature of matter in space and time".

This textbook – besides its unique role in university education – can also be considered as an interpretation of this DAC definition of analytical chemistry and as a pillar of support of the fact that analytical chemistry is indeed an own branch of science today – an information science – answering the theoretically and practically important question, how the material world is composed.

In order to find answers to this question, analytical chemists use chemical, physical and biological reagents to interact with the samples under investigation. This reagent-oriented view is also the scheme adopted for this textbook for practical reasons. In some cases the methods of analysis are clearly chemical, such as acid-base titrations where chemical reagents are used exclusively or purely physical, such as x-ray fluorescence. On the other hand the reader will soon notice that in some cases there are no clear, sharp differentiations, such as in chromatography, listed here under "chemical analysis" or "scanning tunneling microscopy" which has been linked to "physical analysis" although both areas touch both chemical and physical aspects.

Analytical chemistry is an in-between-science using and depending on the laws of chemistry, physics, mathematics, information science and biology. Its aim is to decipher the information hidden in the sample under investigation, not to change this intrinsic information, hence to tell the truth about the composition of the material world. This sounds trivial to a scientist, but it is not in today's complex and complicated technical and environmental matrices where analytical data fre­quently have to be made available in real time and in situ (in the unchanged matrix). Pressing needs of modern world trade, industry and commerce have led to the creation of national – and more importantly – international bodies for quality assur­ance, such as EURACHEM and CITAC. These bodies demand that even experienced laboratories prove their technical competence by passing accreditation procedures comprising both technological standards and personal skills from time to time (see Chapter 3).

The worldwide training of analytical chemists in the analytical skills and knowl­edge required to meet these challenges demands a high level of education using a harmonized scientific language and worldwide agreement on the basic scientific contents to be taught. While English has today the unchallenged role as lingua franca in chemistry and physics, the DAC-Curriculum "Analytical Chemistry" is the first broadly accepted attempt to harmonize the basic curricula in analytical chemistry for the benefit of the chemistry students working under this scheme (see Anal. Chem. 1994, 66, 98A for the basic part and Fres. J. Anal. Chem. 1997, 357, 197 for the advanced part of the DAC-Curriculum).

This textbook Analytical Chemistry is the authentic version of the DAC-Curriculum "Analytical Chemistry" and has emerged from the former "WPAC-Eurocurriculum". Its concept is based on the balanced mix of traditional methods of chemical analysis (Part II), modern techniques of biological (also Part II) and physical analysis (Part III) as well as chemometrics (Part IV). The textbook chapters in Parts II to IV are preceded by an introductory Part I featuring general topics such as "Aims of analyt­ical chemistry and its importance for society", "The analytical process" and "Quality assurance and quality control". The book is completed by an industrially relevant Part V "Total analysis systems" dealing with more complex "Hyphenated techlniques" and "Process analysis systems" of industrial importance today and, in par­ticular, in the future. It is a multiauthored book, in order to guarantee the highest level of competence also in the undergraduate level of modern university education. The book is devoted to the principle of combining solid foundations of scientific knowledge with flexibility towards novel analytical techniques. Its unique concept allows coverage of classical topics, such as acid-base titrations or compleximetry – which are necessary to understand modern chemical sensors technology – while also including recent, trendsetting developments in physical analysis, chemometrics and process analysis. For example, atomic force microscopy and miniaturized total analysis systems (,u-TAS) are introduced at an elementary level. Possible shortcuts in some chapters have to be seen in the light of the editorial decision to limit the size of the book to under 1000 pages and may be overcome by referring to the wealth of specialized textbooks for advanced studies that are part of the DAC-Curriculum scheme.

Besides providing chemistry students with a sound preparation for the require­ments of modern industry, university studies in analytical chemistry must also pro-vide fitness in basic academic research. Truth has an essential place in analytical chemistry. The critical student should therefore carefully study Chapters 2 ("The analytical process") and 3 ("Quality assurance and quality control"). Sir Karl Pop-per's credo: "The approximation to the truth is in principle possible" can be accepted as a strong philosophical foundation of analytical chemistry as a basic science.

In the applied field, we are confronted with a worldwide flood of analytical data, resulting from the incredible number of 10 000 million analyses per year! It is the attempt of this elementary textbook and its editorial team to make dear that analyt­ical chemistry has today more than ever a sound responsibility for the future devel­opment of our society.

Analytical data and model calculations on NOx production in the stratosphere by supersonic jetliners, for instance, resulted in knowledge which prevented the devel­opment of a significant fleet of ozone-killing supersonic jets. This is just one exam­ple of our necessity to produce correct analytical data and to transfer them correctly into knowledge that we can use in problem solving. Correct knowledge is also the basis for wisdom, needed for instance for far reaching political decisions in general.

We are convinced, that when taught worldwide, analytical chemistry – based on an educational scheme devoted to the equilibrium between freedom and responsi­bility, as provided by this textbook and the DAC-Curriculum – can be a key science to provide for a safer future for mankind!

The first edition of this book has been published six years ago, thanks to the initia­tive and considerable effort of Robert Kellner. Four editors have been involved in the elaboration of this book, written by internationally recognized and actively involved authors. Unfortunately, just before the completion of the book, Robert Kellner and Michael Widmer passed away.

When we had to discuss the possibility and necessity of updating this book, it was, then, necessary to select a new editor for this revised version, and it was very obvi­ous for the two remaining editors and our publisher, Wiley-VCH, that Prof. Miguel Valcárcel was the most appropriate person. Miguel has a prestigious career in analyti­cal chemistry, a large experience in writing books, and is currently the chairman of the Division of Analytical Chemistry (DAC) of the Federation of European Chemical Societies. Besides, for quite a long time he has been an advocate of a new approach for teaching analytical chemistry.

The growth of modem technology has confronted the analytical chemist with a host of new and increasingly complex materials, has called on that person to provide information about constituents previously unrecognized or ignored, and has posed more stringent demands for greater sensitivity, reliability, and speed. On the other hand, developments in instrumentation and the research of colleagues in allied fields have provided the analyst with new techniques, instruments, procedures, and reagents for dealing with these problems.

This very expansion of equipment, reagents, and methodology has, however, greatly complicated the task of the chemist searching for the best way of attacking a new or unfamiliar sample. This handbook is intended to provide analytical chemists and their colleagues in related sciences with concise and convenient summaries of the fundamental data and the practical procedures that are most important and most useful among the conventional wet and instrumental methods in modem analyt­ical chemistry. All this is presented in a convenient desk-size guide.

Without ready access to the data that describe the behaviors of the various substances present toward different techniques, it is all too easy for the special peculiarity of the one most suitable technique to escape notice. One of the hardest problems in analytical work is in choosing the right technique to solve a problem. With this handbook the reader will have a handy reference all in one place for analytical techniques. The handbook should be especially helpful in those laboratories which may not have developed a wide variety of in-house analytical methods.

Extensive application tables contain just enough information to enable a reader to reach a judgement call about the possible applicability and range or sensitivity of a method plug references that will supply more detailed directions and discussion of the method. Intercomparison of techniques within a general topical area or between one or several topical areas are provided to enable the user to reach a decision on choice of a method. Factors entering into this decision might be cost, time of analysis, sensitivity, reproducibility, and expertise required of the operator. As an aid to understand­ing the parameters involved in a technique, many examples involving mathematical expressions have been worked out. Illustrative worked examples and troubleshooting sections are included.

Sample preparation prior to analysis is a major analytical challenge; the book expounds the various techniques for extracting analytes from complex matrices and gives approaches to method development. The opening section on preliminary operations of analysis encompasses the important topics of sampling, mixing and sample reduction, moisture and drying, and methods for dissolving the sample. More than likely a preliminary separation will be necessary, perhaps to concentrate the analyte or to remove interference, or both. Preliminary separation methods take the reader through complex formation, masking and demasking reactions, extraction methods, ion-exchange methods, volatilization methods, and conclude with carrier coprecipitation and chemical reduction methods.

Traditional material in the realm of gravimetric and volumetric analysis constitutes the third section. Here are discussed inorganic gravimetric analysis, acid-base titrations in aqueous media and in non-aqueous media, precipitation titrations, oxidation-reduction titrations, and complexometric titrations. The remainder of the book treats the individual areas of instrumental analysis and a selected group of applications. A final section contains information of a general nature.

Although there is no specific section on methods for the analysis of technical materials, the Index is expanded to include references to specific elements or functional groups, and to types of sample matrices, that are tabulated in the many tables within the various sections of the handbook. This style eliminates unnecessary duplication of material.

In all probability, the technique for analyzing the sample for the components requested will require searching through several possible sections of the handbook for an appropriate method. Perhaps a sec­ond method will be selected to provide confirmation of the analyte concentration, a method that might be longer or more costly but one not to be used routinely. This collection of information in one book instead of having to make many referrals will assist the reader in selecting the best method(s) for a particular situation. With quick and easy access to the myriad of analytical techniques that the book provides, the reader can either choose the best one or get specific information on the method selected. Only in exceptional cases are procedures described in full. Enough information is provided to enable the user to make a judicious and rational choice from among the techniques and procedure available. Conditions and details of the final measurement are included to serve as a convenient ready reference. References given will direct the user to additional information.

Finally, as results of analyses have been accumulated, some of the statistical treatments outlined in Sec. 20 would be utilized; certainly if a calibration curve is to be prepared, the least square method for the best-fit line should be used and evaluated.

Theoretical discussions have been limited since several excellent texts devoted to instrumental methods (including one coauthored by this editor) are on the market. Likewise, the descriptions of apparatus and methodology are restricted, yet sufficiently comprehensive, to enable the user to judge intelligently between available choices.

In this 2nd edition three new sections have been added: Analysis of Pesticides and Herbicides; Air Analysis; and Analysis of Trace Pollutants in the Environment. The latter replaces the section on Water Analysis in the first edition, which has been deleted in this edition. All other sections from the first edition are retained in this edition. They have been reviewed, and some have been rearranged and updated. The section on Statistics in Chemical Analysis has been expanded to include a detailed discussion of the precision and accuracy of measurements.

Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry: Applications, Theory and Instrumentation by Robert A. Meyers (John Wiley & Sons) Over the last few decades, analytical chemistry has undergone a considerable amount of change in the equipment and procedures used. Generally analytical chemistry is concerned with the detection and identification of atoms, ions or radicals that of which a substance is composed, the compounds they form, and the proportions of these compounds that are present in a given substance. The editors define analytical chemistry as the measurement, characterization and mapping of chemical species or sys­tems varying from (1) the components of life, such as proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, clinical samples, biomedi­cal spectroscopy, forensics; (2) threats and safeguards to life as in chemical weapons agents, pesticides, environ­ment, industrial hygiene and forensics; (3) life critical or enhancing analyses, such as food and pharmaceuticals; and (4) analyses required by industry, such as coatings, particle size, polymers, rubbers, metals, pulp and paper, process, petroleum and surfaces. The techniques utilized span the in-situ analysis of soil, water, waste, air and the human body, to laboratory analyses, remote sensing and stellar spectroscopy.

This major reference work, an epoch in a practical and summary statement of basic methods and procedures in many material sciences, will become a foremost location for baseline descriptions of chief features of analytical chemistry. The contributors to Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry: Applications, Theory and Instrumentation included over 800 authors, more than 600 peer reviewers, 42 Section Editors and 13 distinguished Board Members and Advisors worked on the production of the Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry: Applications, Theory and Instrumentation for more than three years. Their objective was to prepare the largest, most comprehensive compendium of analytical chemistry ever. Indeed, this work has twice the bulk and breadth of any other such compendium, such that a chemist (organic, polymer, inorganic, biochemist, molecular biologist as well as, of course, an analytical chemist), or a physicist or engineer (environmental, industrial or materials) can find all the essential information required to analyze any analyte in any matrix for any purpose or application, interpret the results and also to gain a thorough knowledge of the theory and instrumentation utilized.

The editors chose to organize the Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry: Applications, Theory and Instrumentation mainly accord­ing to the recent-literature summation sections com­prising the annual Applications literature review and Fundamentals review of the most cited journal of chemi­cal analysis, Analytical Chemistry. In fact, almost half of our Section Editors have served as corresponding Editors for Analytical Chemistry. The editors added some key sections not covered in the review issues: these are Biomedical Spectroscopy, Biomolecules Analysis, Chemical Warfare Chemicals Analysis, Nucleic Acids Analysis and Remote Sensing. Thus, the articles comprising the Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry: Applications, Theory and Instrumentation are organized into 24 Applications sections presented in alphabetical order from Biomedical Spec­troscopy through to Surfaces -- these make up the first ten volumes. Then there are 16 Theory and Instrumenta­tion sections presented in the next five volumes, beginning with Atomic Spectroscopy and concluding with X-ray Spectrometry. The final section contains cross-cutting articles (such as Analytical Problem Solving: Selection of Analytical Methods, Quality Assurance in Analytical Chemistry, Literature Searching Methodology) and this together with the Appendices and Indexes completes the fifteenth volume.

The Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry: Applications, Theory and Instrumentation was designed to assist readers in finding the appropriate information as simply as possible. For example, the user knows whether the analyte in question is considered a protein or a nucleic acid, or an environmental contaminant or food or petroleum or a pharmaceutical etc., and goes directly to the alphabetized section of that name in one of the clearly identified Applications volumes. One or more, generally instrumental, methods are given in sufficient detail to perform the needed analysis. If the reader desires theory, design or operational information on a chosen instrumental method (such as NMR, IR, MS, AA), the reader goes to the appropriate alphabetized section in one of the five clearly marked Theory and Instrumentation volumes to select the appropriate articles. Optionally, the reader can rely on the detailed subject index for the whole Encyclopedia. In addition, the Theory and Instrumentation articles include key example spectra that are cross-referenced within the Applications articles for easy access.

With exhaustive peer review the information was checked for accuracy and detail. The articles are accessible to readers who have a basic background in materials science especially analytical chemistry. We append the full table of contents so the massive scope of the work may be appreciated.
