Features: The "Practical Handbook for Laboratory Technicians" is divided into four parts. Part I covers laboratory fundamentals, including basic constants, physicochemical constants of important compounds, laboratory construction, management, and safety, commonly used instruments and equipment, experimental water, chemical reagents, solution preparation, data processing, units of measurement, standard methods, standard substances, and quality assurance in analytical testing. Part II focuses on chemical analysis, including sample collection, preparation, and pretreatment, methods for separating and purifying substances, constant determination, qualitative analysis of inorganic and organic substances, quantitative analysis and titration. Part III covers instrumental analysis, including the principles, instruments, calibration methods, application scope, precautions, and relevant data of electroanalysis, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence, atomic emission and absorption spectroscopy, thin-layer, gas, and liquid chromatography, and microcomputers. Part IV discusses analytical chemistry literature and its retrieval methods, as well as the writing techniques for scientific and technical documents. For the convenience of readers, the tables in the book are compiled into a table of contents. The "Handbook" provides a large number of essential, new, and commonly used constants and data, as well as separation and analytical methods. It also introduces the basic knowledge, theories, and skills of laboratory technicians. The "Handbook" is rich in content, practical, and serves as a comprehensive reference for laboratory technicians and laboratories in various industries (including chemical, metallurgical, geological, material, agricultural, food, petroleum, environmental protection, hygiene, light industry, etc.) with a secondary technical college or higher educational background. It can also be used by faculty and students of universities and colleges, as well as experimental personnel in research institutions.
