Features: "The Handbook for Analytical Chemists" serves as a training textbook and self-study guide for analytical chemists. The book is divided into two volumes: Volume 1, "Chemical Analysis," and Volume 2, "Instrumental Analysis." This volume (Volume 1) consists of ten chapters, introducing the fundamental knowledge and basic operations of chemical analysis methods such as titration, gravimetric analysis, separation and enrichment, and analytical errors. It also covers general laboratory instruments (glassware and other products), experimental water, solution preparation and concentration calculations, and the construction of analytical laboratories, providing analytical chemists with the knowledge and skills. This revision maintains the original layout and writing style while emphasizing practicality in content selection. It takes into account the recent updates and developments in laboratory instruments and equipment, as well as the current educational and knowledge levels of analytical chemists. Combined with the new requirements of modern industry and technological progress in analytical work, the content and arrangement have been comprehensively reevaluated based on the actual needs of analytical chemists. The descriptions of commonly used laboratory instruments have been updated, some analytical methods and operational procedures for outdated instruments that are rarely used today have been removed, and new laboratory instruments and their usage have been added. The book fully implements the relevant regulations of China's legal metrology units, and all terms and nomenclature are standardized. To facilitate use as a training textbook, this edition has supplemented additional examples and exercises, strengthening the content related to the comprehensive training of analytical chemists.
