Applied Geochemical Analysis (Chemical Analysis: A Series of Monographs on Analytical Chemistry and Its Applications)

By C.O. Ingamells and Francis F. Pitard

This treatise on practical inorganic analytical chemistry includes not only classical, but also newly developed determinative techniques: XRF, ICP, AA, and others. The importance of Sampling Theory, especially as applied to the assay or analysis of exploration samples, is emphasized. Also discusses the use and misuse of reference samples or standards''. An important section on The Art of Chemical Analysis'' deals with manipulative bench-top'' problems often ignored in these days of automated instruments. A number of mineral analyses are presented, with a brief description of the procedures by which they were generated, and the difficulties encountered in actual practice.
