This Book Is An Attempt To Make Available To The Reader Various Polarographic And Easy To Understand Form. The Book Deals In Detail With The Apparatus Used In Polarographic Methods And Explains The Use Of All Such Apparatus. Various Currents And Different Types Of Systems To Be Studied In Undergraduate/ Postgraduate Classes Have Been Discussed In Detail. It Is Hoped That The Book Will Be Quite Useful To Teachers, Research Scholars And Even Undergraduate Students. Applications Of Polarography May Be Of Interest Of General Reader As Well.

Researchers and professionals will find a hands-on guide to successful experiments and applications of modern electroanalytical techniques here. The new edition has been completely revised and extended by a chapter on quartz-crystal microbalances. The book is written for chemists, biochemists, environmental and materials scientists, and physicists. A basic knowledge of chemistry and physics is sufficient for understanding the described methods. Electroanalytical techniques are particularly useful for qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemical, biochemical, and physical systems. Experienced experts provide the necessary theoretical background of electrochemistry and thoroughly describe frequently used measuring techniques. Special attention is given to experimental details and data evaluation.

In recent years electrochemistry has undergone a revival, particularly in its analytical applications. As a non- destructive method, with rapid response times and low detection levels, polarography is now in competition with other methods of analysis, such as spectrophotometry and AAS.

Organic Polarographic Analysis deals with the applications of polarography in the analysis of organic compounds. The principles, techniques, and apparatus of organic polarography are discussed, and some selected examples of the applications of organic polarography in various fields of applied chemistry are presented. The direct methods in which the sample is simply dissolved in a suitable supporting electrolyte are also considered. This book consists of 11 chapters and opens with an overview of the basic principles of the polarographic method of analysis, as well as the different types of polarographic limiting currents and of electrode processes. The reader is then introduced to the instruments used in polarography, including the polarograph, dropping and reference electrodes, and electrolysis vessels. Experimental techniques in organic polarography are also described, along with some of its practical applications in fields such as pharmacy, medicine, and biochemistry. Subsequent chapters explore polarographic methods used in the analysis of organic substances, including direct and indirect methods of analysis; separation techniques; and the use of polarography in organic synthesis and isolation of natural products. This monograph is written primarily for organic and analytical chemists.

Presents the basic concepts and principles in an easy-to-read manner, with practical applications from multiple disciplines.
