About this title

Synopsis

Though many separation processes are available for use in todays analytical laboratory, chromatographic methods are the most widely used. The applications of chromatography have grown explosively in the last four decades, owing to the development of new techniques and to the expanding need of scientists for better methods of separating complex mixtures. With its comprehensive, unified approach, this book will greatly assist the novice in need of a reference to chromatographic techniques, as well as the specialist suddenly faced with the need to switch from one technique to another.

About the Authors

Kevin Robards majored in analytical chemistry and biochemistry. He worked in industry with edible oils and completed an Honours thesis on synthetic antioxidants. After some years investigating complexation chemistry and chromatography and a brief period examining the agricultural applications of rare earths, he returned to his passion, antioxidants, only now looking at naturally occurring members such as biophenols. The last years of his employment were divided between biophenolic research and studying academic and corporate governance.
After five decades of research and teaching at all levels (undergraduate through post-doctoral) in analytical chemistry with a specific emphasis on chromatography, Professor Robards has now retired and was granted Emeritus status in recognition of his contribution to the academy.

Professor Haddad's academic career has been spent at the Australian National University, the University of New South Wales, and since 1992 at the University of Tasmania. At UTAS he has held the positions of Head of School of Chemistry (1992) and Dean of the Faculty of Science and Engineering (1993-2001). He was an Australian Research Council Professorial Fellow from 2004-2006, and an Australian Research Council Federation Fellow from 2006-2011. He was awarded the title of Distinguished Professor in 2011. Professor Haddad served as the foundation Director of the Australian Centre for Research on Separation Science from 2001-2013 and as Director of the Pfizer Analytical Research Centre from 2006-2013. He is currently an Emeritus Distinguished Professor.
