Principles of Instrumental Analysis 6th Edition, Skoog

Principles of Instrumental Analysis 3rd Edition, by Douglas A. Skoog, F. James Holler and Stanley R. Crouch becomes the standard for courses that deal with the principles and applications of modern analytical instruments. Authors infuse their popular text with updated techniques as well as new Instrumental Analysis in Action case studies.

The book's updated material enhances its proven approach, which places an emphasis on the theoretical basis of each type of instrument, its optimal area of application, its sensitivity, its precision, and its limitations. It also introduces students to elementary analog and digital electronics, computers, and treatment of analytical data.

A book companion website is available, providing students with tutorials on instrumental methods, Excel files of data analysis and simulations of analytical techniques to help them visualize important concepts in this course, and selected papers from the chemical literature to stimulate interest and provide background information for study.

The art program both aesthetically and pedagogically improves the text through the addition of color, grayscale screens, graph boxes, and photos of instrument systems. The book's student-friendly presentation includes an active and engaging writing style. It offers the most current data in its coverage and its end-of-chapter problem sets.

Chapter 1, "Introduction," now includes a section on calibration and standardization of instrumental methods as well as a discussion of performance criteria for instrumental methods. Chapter 7, "Components of Optical Instruments," now includes updated information on laser sources, array transducers, and FT instruments.

Chapter 10, "Atomic Emission Spectrometry," contains new information on plasma spectrometers including multi-channel, array detector systems, and laser-based plasma instruments. Chapter 12, "Atomic X-Ray Spectrometry," includes a discussion of modern bench top energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence instruments and a new discussion of multi-element data reduction methods for quantitative analysis.

Chapter 15, "Molecular Luminescence Spectrometry," includes new material on fluorescence quenching and fluorescence lifetimes measurements. Chapter 20, "Molecular Mass Spectrometry," includes expanded sections on MALDI and electrospray ionization. New material has been added dealing with ion-trap spectrometers and a new section on tandem mass spectrometry was added. Chapter 21, "Surface Characterization by Spectroscopy and Microscopy," now offers a general update of surface characterization methods.

Chapter 23, "Potentiometry," contains substantial new material on biosensors and biomedical applications of potentiometry. Chapter 25, "Voltammetry," has been updated, especially cyclic voltammetry, with a de-emphasis of polarography. Solid electrodes, thin-film electrodes, and microelectrodes have been emphasized.

Chapter 27, "Gas Chromatography," and Chapter 28, "Liquid Chromatography," have been rewritten to reflect current practice and modern instrumentation. A general reorganization of thermal methods and updated instrumentation has been applied to Chapter 31, "Thermal Methods." A new Chapter 34, "Particle Size Analysis," provides greater coverage for students.

Quantitative Chemical Analysis 8th Edition, Daniel Harris

Quantitative Chemical Analysis 8th Edition by Daniel C. Harris provides a sound physical understanding of the principles of analytical chemistry, showing how these principles are applied in chemistry and related disciplines—especially in life sciences and environmental science.

As always, the new edition incorporates real data, spreadsheets, and a wealth of applications, in a witty, personable presentation that engages students without compromising the depth necessary for a thorough and practical understanding of analytical chemistry.

Spectrophotometry grew from one to three chapters as it moved from the middle of the book to the front and then to the middle again. Chromatography expanded from two to four chapters as its importance grew. Electrophoresis and mass spectrometry were added. Quality assurance, sampling, and sample preparation were added and quality assurance increased in importance. Computer programming projects were introduced in the second edition. Spreadsheets appeared in the fourth edition and increased in each subsequent edition.

A spreadsheet-oriented chapter on advanced chemical equilibrium appeared in the seventh edition. Uniform, high-interest opening vignettes appeared in the fourth edition. Chapter 0 on the “analytical process” describing an actual student analysis of caffeine in chocolate appeared in the fifth edition. Gravimetric analysis was demoted to the back of the book. Electroanalytical chemistry decreased from five to four chapters. Instructions for experiments moved to the web in the sixth edition to make room for growth in other subjects.

This text began with brevity as the first goal. User feedback directed me to add several topics that had been rejected for the first edition. These topics included activity coefficients, systematic treatment of equilibrium, EDTA and redox titration curve calculations, and an expanded discussion of spectrophotometry. Placement of spectrophotometry early in the book did not fit well with many curricula, so the subject was moved back in the second edition.

The book increased emphasis on quality assurance, integrated mass spectrometry with chromatography, and introduced inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Spreadsheets gradually increased in every edition. A short “ask yourself” question with an answer at the end of every worked example appeared in the fourth edition.

What Went Wrong? 5th Edition by Trevor Kletz

What Went Wrong? 5th Edition: Case Histories of Process Plant Disasters and How They Could Have Been Avoided, by Trevor Kletz continues and extends the wisdom, innovations and strategies of previous editions, by introducing new material on recent incidents, and adding an extensive new section that shows how many accidents occur through simple miscommunications within the organization, and how straight forward changes in design can often remove or reduce opportunities for human errors.

Kletz' approach to learning as deeply as possible from previous experiences is made yet more valuable in this new edition, which for the first time brings together the approaches and cases of "What Went Wrong" with the managerially focused material previously published in "Still Going Wrong". Updated and supplemented with new cases and analysis, this fifth edition is the ultimate resource of experienced based analysis and guidance for the safety and loss prevention professionals.

The examples were very clear and graphic, with good sketches or pictures. Without a doubt, I strongly recommend this book as required reading for every engineer and supervisor in the process industry and suggested reading for others. The incidents described could occur in many types of plants, and should therefore be of interest to a wide variety of plant operators. The new fourth edition contains considerable new material, with extensive references.

This book is recommended for generalists with an interest in industrial safety and safety/process who wish to gain some insight into the realities of plant operations. This book should be read by every health and safety advisor and all managers and engineers who work in the chemical and petrochemical industries. It should also be used by those who provide training courses in these industries.
