Spectroscopy is an important component of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Science curricula all over the world. In conjunction with other analytical techniques, notably Chromatography, Spectroscopy has made chemical analysis more accurate and precise, faster and more sensitive. Spectroscopic techniques are widely used in industry for accurate analysis of raw materials and products and hence have a large number of industrial applications.
This book on Concepts of Spectroscopy introduces the fundamental concepts of spectroscopy in a clear, lucid and easy to understand style. Starting with the fundamentals of Chemical analysis and Spectroscopy,the instrumentation required for spectroscopic analysis is discussed in detail. The 17 chapters discuss in detail the theoretical principles, instrumentation and applications of:
- UV-VISIBLE spectroscopy,
- Infrared (IR) spectroscopy
- Fourier Transform IR (FTIR) spectroscopy,
- Florescence spectroscopy,
- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy,
- Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy,
- Mass spectrometry (MS),
- Atomic emission spectroscopy (AES),
- Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS),
- Turbidimetry and Nephelometry.
There are dedicated chapters written by industry experts onHyphenated techniques-Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LS-MS).
In all the chapters, the emphasis is on the industrial applications of spectroscopy. Several solved numerical problems and IR and NMR spectra have been included as also relevant questions and numerical problems. A bibliography of useful reference books has been included to motivate the readers to undertake further studies in the subject.
The book is written as per the syllabus of Indian universities and hence will be useful to BSc and MSc students and teachers as also students pursuing equivalent Chemistry courses in foreign universities. Research scholars and industry chemists will also find the book useful especially the industrial applications of Spectroscopy.
The book reflects the vast experience of the authors in academics and chemical industry and is based on their long years of teaching the subject and in industry.
