GAS-LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY
D. W. Grant (Coal Tar Research
Association, Gomersal, Yorkshire,
England)
Van Nostrand Reinhold Co., London,
England, 1971. 215 pp.
The practical applications of gas chro-
matography are presented against a
complementary background of funda-
mental theory. The kook is intended
for advanced graduate students, re-
search chemists and practicing ana-
lysts. Chapters deal with (I) basic
principles, historical background, clas-
sification and choice of methods, and
types of sorption; (II) theory of peak
shape, column efficiency, and resolu-
tion; (III) apparatus; (IV) effects of
carrier gas compressibility; (V) theory
and practice of GC columns; (VI) de-
tectors; (VII) retention and identifi-
cation; (VIII) analytical techniques:
(IX) ancillary techniques.
