Activation Spectrometry in Chemical Analysis

Fülszöveg

Now accepted as a routine method of trace element analysis, activation analysis has provided industry with a highly reliable and rapid analytical tool that is also fully competitive with other techniques, Knowing the specifics of activation analysis has become essential for chemists, geologists, biologists, physicists, environmentalists, and archaeologists—specialists who need to know how to make the most effective use of the technique.
In clear, easy-to-read language, Jctiva-tion Spectrometry in Chemical Analysis provides a straightforward review of just what activation analysis can do, describing the technique as it is currently applied to analytical problems. With emphasis on activation spectrometry, the book oudines the specifics of the procedure, which, along with other activation analysis methods, have proven critical to the technique's success.

With emphasis on activation spectrometry, the book oudines the specifics of the procedure, which, along with other activation analysis methods, have proven critical to the technique's success.
The book describes the current status of activation spectrometry in a concise, three-part format: principles, techniques, and applications. Chapter 1 gives a brief overview of the capabilities of the method, relating it to other multi-elemental analytical techniques. Chapters 2 to 6 describe, without need of detailed physics, the principles of neutron activation and gamma ray spectrometry Chapters 7 to 10, written for those interested in the technique itself, describe methods for sampling and preparing the material, creating standards, and choosing reference materials. Chapters tl and 12 describe the irradiation and counting procedures com-

monly used in routine analysis. Concluding chapters describe the types of routine work application analysis has been applied to, specifically its biomedical, environmental, geological, and industrial applications.
Each chapter is followed by numerous up-to-date references. Written for undergraduates and postgraduates in universities, research institutes, government, or industry by an experienced academic who acknowledged the absence of a suitable text, Activation Spectrometry in Chemical Jlnalysis provides the first definitive look at the day-to-day and key uses of the method that is at once challenging and intriguing, yet simple to grasp.
About the author SUSAN J. PARRY is a lecturer at the Imperial College Reactor Centre, in Ascot, England, and the Director of its Research Services. Dr. Parry's research interests include the development of neutron activation analysis techniques, particularly for mineral exploration ap-plicadons. She is currently working on a technique which could provide a serious alternative to current methods of gold analysis. She also teaches at the Imperial College of Science, Technology & Medicine and the University of London. Dr. Parry is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and a Chartered Chemist. Dr. Parry received her BSc (Hon.) in applied chemistry from the University of Salford and her PhD in radiochemistry from the University of London.
