Foreword

The classical analytical techniques include gravimetric, volumetric, and titrimetric methods; on the other hand, instrumental techniques involve ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), infrared (IR), and near-infrared (NIR) spectrophotometry fluorimetry, atomic spectroscopy (absorption/emission), electroanalytical chromatography.

The current volume of a book titled “Advance Techniques of Analytical Chemistry-Volume-1” is about techniques depending on the nature of reactions such as Acid-Base titrations which involve the reaction of an acid and a base. Redox titrations include redox reaction between analyte and titrant as the key reaction, Non-aqueous titrations, Complexometric titration which involves the formation of a colored complex compound, and some miscellaneous methods like Diazotisation Titrations, Kjeldahl Method and Oxygen flask combustion method, etc.

Advance Techniques of Analytical Chemistry-Volume-1 covers a number of important analytical chemistry topics. It does not, however, cover spectroscopic such as mass spectroscopy, IR or NMR as well as chromatographical techniques such as TLC, HPLC, HPTLC and other advanced techniques because these qualitative applications will be covered adequately incoming volumes i.e. Volume-II and Volume-III.

We are happy to recommend this book to students and researchers as there is more material than anyone can cover in one semester; I hope that the diversity of topics will meet the needs of different instructors.
