Now all Welch Duo-Seal” vacuum pumps have increased capacities. 33 y e a r s of vacuum p u m p design a n d m a n u f a c t u r i n g technology now enables Welch t o sizably increase t h e capacity of all twostage Duo-Seal pumps. Size a n d appearance remains t h e same,but pumping speeds a r e increased up t o 19% over previous models.

In 1933, Welch pioneered t h e internal vane design of mechanical vacuum pumps, long since proved t o be t h e m o s t efficient, vibration-free, quiet, long lasting, trouble-free vacuum p u m p s ever marketed. Although many o t h e r manufacturers have switched t o the internal vane design, only Welch produces Duo-Seal pumps, t h e pumps with t h e patented DuoSeal gas discharge design, which eliminates repumping gases.

Now, every two-stage Duo-Seal p u m p gives the added bonus of increased capacity, increases of u p t o 19%, depending on the model which fits your needs. If you use vacuum, check on t h e Duo - Seal line. Welch maintains a staff of vacuum s p e c a s t s who a r e at your service t o help you select t h e r i g h t pzivzp for your needs.

ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY

than by graduate chemists. This accounts for the fact that the description of analytical procedures given in this book is found to contain much detail, partly repetitive, which would seem t o be stressing the obvious, but is really intended not to leave any room for doubt as to the correct procedure t o be followed. The techniques of trace analysis covered in this book reveal the state of the art in the USSR as of 1965. ,4majority of the procedures involve chemical preconcentration and separation followed by colorimetric or spectrophotometric determination of individual trace elements. Also quite prominent are chemical preconcentration-emission spectrographic methods for survey analyses. To a lesser extent activation analysis. polarographic, and luminescent methods are employed, all accompanied by the necessary enrichment and/or separation steps to achieve adequate sensitivity or freedom from interferences. I t is interesting t o note that although continuous reference in the book is made t o the great potential of spark source mass spectrometry for the analysis of high-purity materials, only very limited use is made of this valuable technique, presumably due to the nonavailability of instruments. Also, noticeably absent are flame emission and atomic absorption methods. This book is a welcome addition to the growing list of authoritative texts on trace analysis. Although it is restricted to the analysis of semiconduct,or materials, it provides considerable detail of great value to the practicing analyst concerned with this demanding field. The book is mitten in a clear and straightforward manner and the Israel Program for Scientific Translations is to be congratulated for the high quality of the translation. The only annoyances encountered by the reviemr were the absence of a subject index and the frequent use of the word “etalon” for “standard” in this English edition.

subject matter of the conference encompassed general problems of luminescence, the problems of organic and inorganic luminescent materials, especially of oxides and sulfides and rare earth metal compounds, the phenomena of injection luminescence, solid state lasers, and the application of luminescence.

This book was written as a text for Freshman chemistry where qualitative analysis is offered in the laboratory portion of the latter part of general chemistry. Changes made over the first edition include a complete reorganization of the theoretical sections, and substantial revisions in the chapters on chemical equilibrium, chemical kinetics, and ionics. A new chapter deals with oxidation-reduction. Experimental Procedures in Elementary Qualitative Analysis. Es-

Paperbound. 83.25 This text has been designed for use in schools where a separate course on qualitatire analysis has been abandoned and a simplified scheme of analysis is used within the laboratory exercises of general chemistry. The analytical procedures within the cation scheme are based on the Fresenius system of analysis, but they have been greatly altered in terms of efficiency and simplicity. The anion-analysis scheme is adapted from one developed by J. T. Dobbins and H. -4. Ljung [ J . Chem. Educ. 12, 586 (1935) 1. Analysis and Characterization of Oils, Fats and Fat Products. Vol.
