The Analysis of Natural Waters

By T.R. Crompton

One of the problems in the analysis of natural and potable waters is that the equipment used is often insufficiently sensitive to detect the low concentrations of organic and inorganic substances present in the samples. The problem can, however, be overcome to some extent by preconcentrating the sample before analysis. This two-volume set provides a comprehensive review of the techniques available for preconcentration and explains how each can be applied to cations, anions, organic substances, and organometallic compounds. Volume 1 describes methods involving complex formation, while Volume 2 covers direct preconcentration techniques. Both books contain useful practical advice which will be of value to all analytical chemists and environmental scientists concerned with water analysis.
