New Generation Green Solvents for Separation and Preconcentration of Organic and Inorganic Species

New Generation Green Solvents for Separation and Preconcentration of Organic and Inorganic Species is designed to help researchers and students understand the production and application of new generation green solvents in separation- and preconcentration-based analytical methods. Beginning with the historical background and milestones in the development of analytical instrumentation, the book goes on to give a detailed overview of the most up-to-date uses of green solvents in sample preparation. Using a wealth of examples, it compares old and new extraction procedures and explores the many applications of new generation green solvents. Practical, easy-to-follow experiments are used to illustrate the key concepts.

This practical guide helps to promote the use of safer, more sustainable solvents in analytical chemistry and beyond for environmental scientists, researchers in pharmaceutical and biotech industries, and students in analytical chemistry.

• Covers the basic analytical theory essential for understanding extraction- and microextraction-based separation and preconcentration methods
• Explains combination use of new generation solvents with various detection systems, including UV-VIS, ICP-MS, HPLC, LC-MS, GC-MS, and LC-MS/MS
• Emphasizes trace chemical component separation, preconcentration and analysis

Analytical chemists, environmental scientists, researchers in pharmaceutical and biotech and industries; researchers interested in improving analytical detection limits; graduate and post-graduate students in analytical chemistry and applied science (materials science/engineering)
