Description
This comprehensive reference and handbook covers all aspects of ultrasound for analytical applications. Besides classical extraction techniques, it also provides an overview of ultrasound applications and devotes two chapters to proteomics and polymer technology. From the contents: * Common ultrasonic devices * Elemental speciation * On-line applications * Accelerated extraction of semivolatile and volatile organics * The ultrasonic bath vs. the ultrasonic probe * Liquid-liquid, liquid-solid and solid-liquid extraction * Solid-phase (micro)extraction * Stir bar sorptive extraction * Sonochemistry for organic and inorganic synthesis * Electrochemical applications * Applications to polymer science * Power ultrasound meets proteomics Of great interest to researchers in academia and industry, as well as analytical and natural products chemists, and those working in trace analysis. Dr. Jos-Luis Capelo-Martnez has a large experience in developing new sample treatments for the extraction of trace metal, and organics in biological and environmental samples and their subsequent determination. At present the research of the group is oriented to the development of new sample treatments achieving: 1. Less chemical consumption. 2. Low chemical concentration. 3. Easy implementation. 4. Green Chemistry.
