Advances In Flow Injection Analysis And Related Techniques

The concept of flow injection analysis (FIA) was first proposed in 1975 by Ruzicka and Hansen, and this initiated a field of research that would, over more than three decades, involve thousands of researchers, and which has to date resulted in close to 20,000 publications in the international scientific literature. Since its introduction, a number of books, including some specialized monographs, have been published on this subject with the latest in 2000. However, in this decade there has been a number of significant advances in the flow analysis area, and in particular in sequential injection analysis (SIA) techniques, and more recently with the introduction of Lab on a Valve (LOV) and bead injection flow systems. This book aims to cover the most important advances in these new areas, as well as in classical FIA, which still remains the most popular flow analysis technique used in analytical practice. Topics covered in the 23 chapters include the fundamental and underlying principles of flow analysis and associated equipment, the fluid-dynamic theory of FIA, an extensive coverage of detection methods (e.g. atomic and molecular spectrometry, electroanalytical methods). In addition, there are several chapters on on-line separation (e.g. filtration, gas diffusion, dialysis, pervaporation, solvent and membrane extraction, and chromatography), as well as on other sample pretreatment techniques, such as digestion. The book also incorporates several chapters on major areas of application of flow analysis in industrial process monitoring (e.g food and beverages, drugs and pharmaceuticals), environmental and agricultural analysis and life sciences. The contributing authors, who include the founders of flow injection analysis, are all leading experts in flow analytical techniques, and their chapters not only provide a critical review of the current state of this area, but also suggest future trends. Provides a critical review of the current state of and future trends in flow analytical techniques Offers a comprehensive elucidation of the principles and theoretical basis of flow analysis Presents important applications in all major areas of chemical analysis, from food products to environmental concerns

Annotation The first five chapters in this manual for users and manufacturers of FIA technology describe the principles and properties of detection methods, including molecular and atomic spectroscopy detection methods, electrochemical methods, enzymatic methods and immunoassays, and photoacoustic spectroscopic detection. Chapters six and seven cover on-line sample processing and speciation analysis. Chapter eight (the longest chapter) discusses applications of flow injection methods in routine analysis, including environmental applications and analysis of food products and biological and mineral materials, clinical analysis, pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications, and process analysis. The last three chapters cover sequential and batch injection techniques, review commercially available instrumentation, and discuss current trends in developments of flow analysis.

This Second edition of the flow injection analysis (FIA) text which has become a standard in the field in four languages, is written by two pioneers in the field, who have themselves discovered many of the techniques and designed much of the equipment employed in FIA. Newly revised to account for the many recent developments in FIA, this book presents the state-of-the-art in FIA theory, techniques, and future trends. Specific topics covered include continous-flow analyzers, chemical kinetics in an FIA system, theory of dispersion related to FIA, single-line FIA manifolds, FIA determinations based on separation processes, commercially available flow-injection analyzers, the FIA laboratory--a microconduit-based pedagogical system, review of the flow-injection literature, and flow injection analysis now and in the future.

This first book to cover different injection techniques not only provides a comprehensive overview of methodologies and instrumentation, it also covers recent advances in flow method analysis, with an appendix listing additional databases, instrumentation and methods on the Internet. A definite must-have for every chemist working in this field.

The third edition of the Encyclopedia of Analytical Science, Ten Volume Set is a definitive collection of articles covering the latest technologies in application areas such as medicine, environmental science, food science and geology. Meticulously organized, clearly written and fully interdisciplinary, the Encyclopedia of Analytical Science, Ten Volume Set provides foundational knowledge across the scope of modern analytical chemistry, linking fundamental topics with the latest methodologies. Articles will cover three broad areas: analytical techniques (e.g., mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography, atomic spectrometry); areas of application (e.g., forensic, environmental and clinical); and analytes (e.g., arsenic, nucleic acids and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), providing a one-stop resource for analytical scientists. Offers readers a one-stop resource with access to information across the entire scope of modern analytical science Presents articles split into three broad areas: analytical techniques, areas of application and and analytes, creating an ideal resource for students, researchers and professionals Provides concise and accessible information that is ideal for non-specialists and readers from undergraduate levels and higher

Flow Injection Analysis of Food Additives gives you the tools you need to analyze food and beverage additives using FIA. This sets it apart from other books that simply focus on the theoretical basis and principles of FIA or on the design of equipment, instrumentation, manifold, and setting mechanism. Truly unprecedented in its scope, this book rep
