Glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES) is an
essential technique for the direct analysis of bulk solids, for
elemental surface analysis and for the depth profiling of thin
films and industrial coatings. The technique has shown rapid growth
in numbers of instruments, in breadth of applications, in improved
quantification in recent years and is now a recognised technique
within the ISO, with two international standards. Glow Discharge
Optical Emission Spectroscopy: A Practical Guide takes the reader
on a journey through instrument operation, sample preparation,
analysis, and reporting results. It follows two sets of samples
through the whole process of analysis, brass samples for bulk
analysis, and zinc-coated steel for depth profiling. Procedures are
consistent with recent ISO standards and each step is loaded with
hands-on tips and theoretical insight. The book also includes
unique data tables on spectral interferences, molecular bands,
self-absorption and relative sputtering rates. This book is
designed for those using or managing GDOES instruments and for
students interested in learning the technique from a hands-on
perspective. It is also an invaluable aid to those considering the
purchase of a GDOES instrument, or those using GDOES results, to
understand in detail how the technique works and what is involved
in maintaining the instrument and achieving high quality results.
Emulsions occur either as end products or during the processing of
products in a huge range of areas including the food, agrochemical,
pharmaceutical, paint and oil industries. Despite over one hundred
years of research in the subject, however, a quantitative
understanding of emulsions has been lacking. Modern Aspects of
Emulsion Science presents a comprehensive description of both the
scientific principles in the field and the very latest advances in
research in this important area of surface and colloid science.
Topics covered include emulsion formation, type, stability
(creaming, flocculation, ripening, coalescence), monodisperse and
gel emulsions, and applications. Emphasis has been placed on
relating the chemistry of the surfactant or protein adsorbed at the
oil-water interface to the principles of the physics involved in
the bulk emulsion property. The book has been written by a
collection of the world's leading experts in the field, and covers
both experimental and theoretical approaches. Modern Aspects of
Emulsion Science fills a real gap in the market, being the only
book of its kind in print. As such it will prove essential reading
for graduates and researchers in this subject, in both academia and
industry.
Chemical Imaging Analysis covers the advancements made over the
last 50 years in chemical imaging analysis, including different
analytical techniques and the ways they were developed and refined
to link the composition and structure of manmade and natural
materials at the nano/micro scale to the functional behavior at the
macroscopic scale. In a development process that started in the
early 1960s, a variety of specialized analytical techniques was
developed - or adapted from existing techniques - and these
techniques have matured into versatile and powerful tools for
visualizing structural and compositional heterogeneity. This text
explores that journey, providing a general overview of imaging
techniques in diverse fields, including mass spectrometry, optical
spectrometry including X-rays, electron microscopy, and beam
techniques.
An important purpose of The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry is
to aid the understanding of distribution and chemical reaction
processes which occur in the environment. It is designed to serve
as an important source for environmental scientists and
decision-makers in industry, governmental and regulatory bodies.
"Volume 3, Part E" of this series is dedicated to organometallic
compounds, aluminium and to chemicals used in the rubber industry.
