Introduction to Microwave Sample Preparation: Theory and Practice
N
ew microwave techniques are making sample preparation procedures faster, more convenient, and more controlled. This revolutionary new book gives you what ' you need to know to get started.. the history of the technique, the relevant methodological details, the all-important safety precautions, and a number of specific applications. Eleven chapters describe equipment and techniques that have been found most effective. They offer direct practical applications of the meth-1 ods to a variety of sample types, including microwave digestion of botani cal, biological, and food samples; selenium analysis; Kjeldahl nitrogen determination; remote operation of microwave systems; and more. As a unique feature, this book presents a fundamental thermodynamic equa tion relating acid (sample) size, final temperature, heat capacity, and transformations of the basic equation predicting time and temperature for digestion. A truly multi-disciplinary volume, this book can be used in inorganic ele mental analysis, sample digestion, food analysis, environmental sample preparation chemistry, and other areas. H.M.
