Book Description

This four-volume handbook presents unique data of infrared and Raman spectra that are extremely useful for the analysis of inorganic compounds and organic salts. The spectra charts as presented in the volumes may be used to facilitate spectra-structure identification of most compounds, while cross-indexing of data allows for easy comparison of infrared and Raman spectra of the same compound. This comprehensive four-volume set, based on the authors' extensive lifetime research, is an essential reference for industrial and academic researchers and their libraries. Analytical chemists, molecular spectroscopists, materials scientists (especially polymer scientists), chemical engineers, environmentalists, geologists, andothers involved in analyzing a wide range of inorganic compounds and organic salts will want to keep the Handbook within easy reach. This set is a"must"for pharmaceutical and chemical companies, as well as for industrial and academic libraries.

Book Description

The GALP Regulatory Handbook is an easy-to-use manual to assist laboratories in applying the Good Automated Laboratory Practice guidelines published by the Environmental Protection Agency in 1990. The proliferation of computerized data collection has resulted in new problems of corruption, loss, and inappropriate modification in data provided to the EPA. The EPA published its GALP guidelines to aid laboratories replacing manual operations with computer technology. The eight chapters of this handbook provide a "how-to" framework for complying with those guidelines. The book looks at the extent and seriousness of those control issues for automated data collection systems, the intent of the GALPs in solving and preventing those problems, and the implementation guidelines that can help laboratory management maintain the compliance and quality that are fundamental to effective operation. ...

Book Description

This book provides an introduction/overview of the various facets of laboratory automation. Laboratory automation is an active area gaining intense exposure with the increased emphasis on productivity. Laboratory automation comes in many forms ranging from robotics which can allow for automated sample preparation and subsequent analysis to flow injection analysis and other forms of automated systems. The final facet of many automated systems, LIMS, will also be adressed. This book will serve as a reference, a general introductory volume on laboratory automation for industrial and academic scientists, and also as a text for an introductory or advanced course on laboratory automation. The reader can focus on a particular technology and obtain sufficient information, or read the entire book for a comprehensive view of the field of lab automation. ... Read more

Book Description

This volume demonstrates how chemical problems can be solved through the use of expert systems, programs that attempt to solve problems the same way a human expert would. Its 18 chapters offer a discussion of advanced prototypes and how they were constructed, along with a wide range of expert systems that are being used to solve chemical problems. Three main sections cover general chemical applications, industrial applications, and analytical chemistry applications. Of special interest is a brief glossary in the first chapter that aids in reading the rest of the book. ... Read more

Book Description

Organic Photochemistry outlines the principles, techniques and well-known reactions occurring in organic molecules and also illustrates more complex photochemical transformations occurring in organic chemistry.
Many photochemical transformations convert simple molecules into extremely complex products with an ease not approached by the standard synthetic chemistry practiced in the laboratory. In the earlier chapters, the author outlines the principles, techniques and some of the well-known reactions occurring in organic molecules and later illustrates more complex photochemical transformations occuring in organic chemistry. Experimental techniques are included to encourage novices. Topics are emphasized where structural transformations can be formulated chemically. Practical applications are collected together. The book starts at a comfortably simple level with enough examples to provide an introduction to the diversity of photochemical reactions.

* Includes experimental techniques to encourage novices.

* Emphasizes topics where structural transformations can be formulated chemically

* Collects and presents practical applications

* Written in a simple style including enough examples to serve as an introduction to the diversity of photochemical reactions ... Read more
