Master the science of gas analysis with a classic reference that blends theory and hands‑on methods for exact results.
This edition compiles extensive techniques for collecting, preserving, and analyzing gases, from laboratory samples to industrial furnace streams. It covers practical apparatus, precise measurement, and the interpretation of results across a wide range of gases and processes.
Inside you’ll find structured guidance on sampling from furnaces, mines, springs, and sealed tubes; methods for exact gas analysis with reliable confining liquids; and the evolution of modern absorbents and apparatus. The book also describes practical applications, including combustion and illumination gases, and the analysis of gases produced by processes such as electrolysis and the manufacture of chemicals.
- Techniques for collecting and keeping gas samples from diverse sources
- Detailed apparatus for absorption, gas burettes, and exact gas analysis
- Methods for determining key gases and components, from oxygen to carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons
- Practical applications in furnace gases, illuminating gas, and industrial processes
Ideal for students, professionals, and researchers working in chemistry, engineering, and related industries who seek a thorough, field‑tested reference on gas analysis.
