This Book Is Divided Into Two Parts. The First Explains The Basic Principles And Techniques Involved In Polarography. It Also Explains Polarography Of Metal Complexes And Organic Compounds. The Second Part Is Devoted To Allied Techniques. It Explains Miscellaneous Polarographic Methods And Their Analytical Applications. Advances In D.C. Polarography And The Principles And Control Of Corrosion Are Also Highlighted In This Section. A Simple And Systematic Approach Is Followed Throughout The Book. Suitable References Are Provided At The End Of Each Chapter And Review Questions Are Included At The End Of The Book.The Book Would Serve As A Useful Text For B.Sc. (Hons.) And M.Sc. Chemistry Students.

This book provides up-to-date discussion of modern polarographic methods, with examples and experimental details. It is designed for the practicing analyst and a factor in bringing the reincarnated area of analytical chemistry into a new and healthy maturity.

Advances in Polarography, Volume 2 covers the proceedings of the Second International Congress held at Cambridge in 1959 in honor of the 70th birthday of Professor Heyrovsky. This volume is composed of 35 chapters and begins with intensive discussions on the theoretical and fundamental aspects, as well as pertinent equations in polarography. Considerable chapters are devoted to the chemical and metallurgical applications of the technique, with emphasis on the trace determination of certain compounds. The remaining chapters explore other application of specific polarographic technique, such as nicotinic acid, iso-benzpyrylium salts, and metal complex analysis.

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.

Principles of Polarography is a revised and extended version of an original Czech edition that appeared in 1962 at the Publishing House of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in Prague. Based on a one-term course of lectures for third-year students of chemistry at the Charles University it brings the fundamental results of more than forty years' research in the field of polarography. The book contains 22 chapters and opens with a discussion of the principles of polarography. This is followed by separate chapters on polarizable electrodes used in polarography; charging current; influence of the resistance of the electrolyte on polarographic curves; migration and diffusion-controlled currents; and equation of a reversible polarographic wave. Subsequent chapters deal with reversible processes controlled by diffusion of complex ions; reversible reduction of organic substances; deposition of mercury ions; irreversible electrode processes; applications of limiting currents; polarographic curves for the formation of semiquinones and dimers; and catalytic hydrogen currents.
