BASIC GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY By Harold M. Mcnair & James M. Miller 2nd Ed. 2009

Description: PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION When the first edition of this book was published in 1998, gas chromatography (GC) was already a mature, popular separation method. Grob's encyclopedic Modern Practice of Gas Chromatography was already in its third (1995) edition. But the field has not remained static, and there is much new information that necessitates an update, a second edition of our book. In the meantime, Grob's book (now coedited with Barry) is in its fourth edition (2004) and comprises over 1000 pages. Miller's book on Chromatography is also in its second edition (2005). Our objectives have remained the same, as has our intention to keep the book small, basic, and fundamental. Several topics that were contained in the Special Topics chapter of the first edition have been expanded in the second. They are Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Special Sampling Methods, now entitled simply Sampling Methods. In addition, a new chapter on Multidimensional GC has been added. Also, two new topics have been added to the Special Topics chapter, namely, Fast GC and the GC Analysis of Nonvolatile Compounds. The latter includes the original section on Derivatization, supplemented with Inverse GC and Pyrolysis GC. The entire book has been updated with new references, resources, and websites. The textual material for the two new chapters (11 and 12) has been written by Nicholas Snow and Gregory Slack, both former students of McNair. They are established chromatography authors in their own right, and we welcome them and thank them for their contributions. Further information about them can be found on the Acknowledgments page.
