Synopsis

This treatise on practical inorganic analytical chemistry includes not only classical, but also newly developed determinative techniques: XRF, ICP, AA and others. The importance of Sampling Theory, especially as applied to the assay or analysis of exploration samples, is emphasized. Also discussed is the use and misuse of reference samples or "standards". An important section on "The Art of Chemical Analysis" deals with manipulative "bench-top" problems often ignored in these days of automated instruments. A number of mineral analyses are presented, with a brief description of the procedures by which they were generated, and the difficulties encountered in actual practice.
