Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
John R. Dean, B.Sc., M.Sc., Ph.D., D.I.C., D.Sc., FRSC, CChem., CSci., Cert. Ed., Registered Analytical Chemist
John R. Dean took his first degree in Chemistry at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST), followed by an M.Sc. in Analytical Chemistry and Instrumentation at Loughborough University of Technology, and finally a Ph.D. and D.I.C. in Physical Chemistry at the Imperial College of Science and Technology (University of London). He then spent two years as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Food Science Laboratory of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in Norwich, in conjunction with the Polytechnic of the South West in Plymouth. His work there was focused on the development of directly coupled high performance liquid chromatography and inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry methods for trace element speciation in foodstuffs. This was followed by a temporary lectureship in Inorganic Chemistry at Huddersfield Polytechnic. In 1988, he was appointed to a lectureship in Inorganic/Analytical Chemistry at Newcastle Polytechnic (now Northumbria University). This was followed by promotion to Senior Lecturer (1990), Reader 1994), Principal Lecturer (1998) and Associate Dean (Research) (2004). He was also awarded a personal chair in 2004. In 1998, he was awarded a D.Sc. (University of London) in Analytical and Environmental Science and was the recipient of the 23rd Society for Analytical Chemistry (SAC) Silver Medal in 1995. He has published extensively in analytical and environmental science. He is an active member of The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Analytical Division, having served as a member of the atomic spectroscopy group for 15 years (10 as Honorary Secretary), as well as a past Chairman (1997–1999). He has served on the Analytical Division Council for three terms and is a former Vice-President (2002–2004), as well as a past-Chairman of the North-East Region of the RSC (2001–2003).
Von der hinteren Coverseite
This text provides a valuable and readily accessible, practical introduction to inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy, serving both as a basic textbook for taught courses and also as a 'self-study' resource for those pursuing 'open learning/distance learning' forms of study.
Topics covered within this essential text include:
* Methodology for trace elemental analysis
* Sample preparation techniques for inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy, including those used for aqueous and solid samples, plus details of the various extraction procedures that can be used to prepare samples
* Sample introduction procedures for plasma sources
* The inductively coupled plasma and other sources used for atomic emission spectroscopy and mass spectrometry
* Fundamental aspects of atomic emission spectroscopy and mass spectrometry
* Spectrometers and detectors used for plasma spectroscopy
* Interferences in atomic emission spectroscopy
* Principles of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
* Types of mass spectrometers used for ICP-MS
* Interferences in ICP-MS and their remedies, including collision/reaction cells
* Isotope dilution analysis
* A range of applications for this technique, including forensic science, industrial analysis, clinical/biological analysis, materials analysis, environmental analysis, food analysis and pharmaceutical analysis
* Sample data sheets that can be used to record information in the laboratory
* A comprehensive bibliography, providing information on how to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in this field, guiding the reader to more specialized texts and sources, including books, journals and recommended web sites
Practical Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy will be invaluable to those students studying at Foundation and BTEC (HNC and HND) levels, and for those pursuing BSc, MChem, MSc and MRes courses in analytical chemistry, as well as subsidiary courses in life, environmental and food science. In addition, it will be a useful guide to those using ICP, and related techniques, in applied research and analysis.
