Art and Science of Chemical Analysis

Chemical analysis refers to the study of the chemical composition and structure of different types of substances. The different techniques of chemical analysis are used to determine the exact chemical information of a substance. Chemical analysis is a part of analytical chemistry, which is a branch of chemistry involved in the study of instruments and methods for the separation, identification and quantification of matter. Some of the major chemical analysis procedures include isotopic analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), field flow fractionation (FFF), mass spectrometry (MS), calorimetry, and surface plasma resonance (SPR). NMR is an analytical procedure which studies the structure of molecules and the interaction of different molecules. Advancements in the field of analytical chemistry find applications in biomedicine, quality control of industrial manufacturing, environmental monitoring, and forensic science. The book aims to shed light on chemical analysis procedures and its applications. It consists of contributions made by international experts. The book aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike.
