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 discusses 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.
