About the Book: 

Analytical Chemistry plays a vital role in many disciplines like Chemistry, Physics, Biology and industrial process. Scientists, engineers and technicians in all fields of Chemistry, Biotechnology, Water Resources, Engineering and Medicine often need information from chemical analysis. In addition, after the analysis is done, interpretation of the data is complicated and plays a major role. The present book is for providing training to analytical chemists in various modern analytical methods, which is a major task for Universities, Industrial organizations and government laboratories because of the rapid growth in new techniques, and necessity of analyzing multi-complex samples in short time.
