Braun Tibor - Ghersini G.: Extraction chromatography (Budapest, 1975)
EXTRACTION CHROMATOGRAPHY Edited by T. Braun AND G. Ghersini The recent development of commercial liquid chromatography systems has opened up new vistas in the analysis of inorganiccompounds. This monograph presents in collected and systematized form, and comments upon, the large amount of information concerning column extraction chromatography, a relatively new field of reversed-phase partition chromatography. The purpose of this book is to provide analytical chemists and radiochemists, especially those interested in separations, with a broad survey of the role that extraction chromatography can and should play in chemical analysis. With this background and the authors’ interest and practical experience in this area of separation chemistry, the vast amount of widespread information has been systematized in 16 chapters embracing the basic and theoretical aspects of the method, organic stationary phases and supports, the separation of elements with particular reference to radiochemical problems, the separation of lanthanides, actinides, fission products, radiotoxicological separations and preconcentration of trace elements in various materials prior to their determination. One special chapter is concerned with the utility of laminar extraction chromatographic data in planning column separations. The last chapter includes a detailed bibliographic study of extraction chromatographic work that can be found in the literature, covering both column and laminar systems, with particular attention to the former. Chemists working in widely different fields, such as analytical, environmental, organic and inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, physical chemistry, nuclear and isotope chemistry, will find this book invaluable. It is also of great interest to students, postgraduate students, physicists and research workers in biology and medicine. AKADÉMIAI KIADÓ BUDAPEST
