The aim of this rare volume is to provide up-to-the-minute coverage of the many applications of ion exchange in analytical chemistry. This work places major emphasis on modern high-resolution chromatography, and also includes the analysis of proteins and biological macromolecules. The easy-to-read text gives a general account of ion exchangers, their properties and how they are made, as well as a brief account of the physical chemistry of classical microporous ion-exchanging polymers. Organized by methods and techniques, this one-of-a-kind book describes each technique using illustrations by representative applications. This interesting review also compares ion-exchange methods with other methods of accomplishing the same analyses. It addresses many new areas in this field, including such exciting topics as pulsed amperometric detection of carbohydrates, amino acids, and peptides; chromatography of carbohydrates by anion exchange; and methods of polymer synthesis. Everyone who has an interest in analytical chemistry, chromatography, reactive polymers, and chromatographic science will want to add this reference to their collection of up-to-date resources.

Analytical Chemistry, Volume 38: Ion Exchange in Analytical Chemistry provides a broad survey of the important role that ion exchange can and should play in chemical analysis. This book focuses on the plate-equilibrium theory of chromatography, which is less difficult theoretically than the mass-transfer theory. Organized into 11 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the earliest recorded application of ion exchange. This text then examines how high temperature affects ion-exchange resins. Other chapters consider the exchange of ions between a solid ion-exchanging material and a solution, which is a typically reversible reaction. This book describes as well the relatively simple separations and other applications of ion exchange to analytical chemistry. The final chapter deals with the interesting nature of the metal complexes formed within the exchanger and describe the use of ion-exchange distribution studies to determine the stability and nature of complexes existing in the solution. This book is a valuable resource for analytical chemists.
