Quantitative Analysis by Electrolysis: A practical and historical guide for analytical chemistry
This volume distills the development of electrochemical analysis, from early qualitative work to modern quantitative methods. It emphasizes how electricity helps separate and identify metals, and it presents tested procedures and conditions used in analysis today. The text combines historical context with clear, actionable guidance for laboratories.
- Learn how the current, potential, and solution conditions affect the electrolytic separation of metals.
- Explore procedures for obtaining copper, uranium, zinc, manganese, nickel, cobalt, and other elements by oxalate and other electrolytic routes.
- Discover practical methods, control tests, and sample calculations used to obtain accurate metal determinations.
- Understand how to choose reagents, manage oxalates, acids, and nitrates, and interpret results at the electrode surfaces.
Ideal for readers of analytical chemistry, electrochemistry, and those applying electrolysis to metal determinations in the lab.
