Techniques For The Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry Identification Of Organic Compounds In Effluents

A comprehensive reference which draws together and systematises the information available on the occurrence and determination of organic substances in all types of non-saline and saline natural and treated waters. It provides a comprehensive description of organic compounds in all natural and treated water types. The book includes a series of table

Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has been the technique of choice of analytical scientists for many years. The latest developments in instrumentation, including tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS) and time-of-flight (TOF) detectors, have opened up and broadened the scope of environmental analytical chemistry. This book summarizes the major advances and relevant applications of GC-MS techniques over the last 10 years, with chapters by leading authors in the field of environmental chemistry. The authors are drawn from academia, industry and government. The book is organized in three main parts. Part I covers applications of basic GC-MS to solve environmental-related problems. Part II focuses on GC-MS-MS instrumentation for the analyses of a broad range of analysis in environmental samples (pesticides, persistent organic pollutants, endocrine disruptors, etc.). Part III covers the use of more advanced GC-MS techniques using low- and high-resolution mass spectrometry for many applications related to the environment, food and industry. Summarizes the major advances of GC-MS techniques in the last decade Presents relevant applications of GC-MS techniques Covers academic, industrial and governmental sectors

"In full colour throughout, this book describes the power of mass spectrometry in resolving environmental issues, demonstrating how real-world complex problems can be solved in a simple and elegant way."--Worldcat.

This detailed handbook covers different chromatographic analysis techniques and chromatographic data for compounds found in air, water, and soil, and sludge. The new edition outlines developments relevant to environmental analysis, especially when using chromatographic mass spectrometric techniques. It addresses new issues, new lines of discussion, and new findings, and develops in greater detail the aspects related to chromatographic analysis in the environment. It also includes different analytical methodologies, addresses instrumental aspects, and outlines conclusions and perspectives for the future.

Chapters: 1) The relationship of components of a mass spectrometer to the requirements of GCMS analysis; 2) Fundamentals of gas chromatography pertinent to GCMS operation; 3) Application of elementary vacuum technology in GCMS systems; 4) The GCMS interface; 5) Operational techniques of the GCMS system; 6) The role of the computer in GCMS; 7) Applications of GCMS.

Gas Chromatographic Environmental Analysis ist die erste wirklich komplette, aktuelle und einheitliche Darstellung der analytischen Techniken der Umweltchemie in Buchform. Das Buch beschreibt die Grundlagen der Gaschromatographie in der Umweltuntersuchung. Nach einer Einführung in die Gaschromatographie und einer kritischen Bewertung der verschiedenen Säulentypen beschreibt der Autor sorgfältig die notwendige Meßapparatur. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt der Einspritzung sowie den Nachweis- und Kalibrierungssystemen. Ein Akzent liegt auf der Spurenanalytik, die wichtig ist z.B. für die Erkennung von Fluorkohlenwasserstoffen in der Atmosphäre. Daneben werden auch andere Techniken wie HPLC und Massenspektrometrie vorgestellt, um so ein vollständiges Bild der Umweltanalytik von heute und morgen zu geben. Da das Buch für Chemiker und analytische Chemiker sowohl in Forschung als auch Industrie, für Verfahrenstechniker, Umweltbiologen und -geologen geschrieben ist, beschäftigt sich Gas Chromatographic Environmental Analysis besonders mit den Methoden, die in den USA und anderen hochindustrialisierten Staaten eingeführt sind. Damit ist es eine willkommene Bereicherung für die Bibliotheken von chemischen Betrieben, Verwaltungen, Universitäten und Forschungseinrichtungen.
