Purification of Laboratory Chemicals [Paperback]

Purification of Laboratory Chemicals, Eighth Edition, tabulates methods taken from literature for purifying thousands of individual commercially available chemicals. To help in applying this information, the more common processes currently used for purification in chemical laboratories and new methods are discussed. For dealing with substances not separately listed, a chapter is included setting out the usual methods for purifying specific classes of compounds.

• Features empirical formulae inserted for every entry
• References all important applications of each substance
• Updates and confirms the accuracy of all CAS registry numbers, molecular weights, original reference, and physical data
• Provides increased coverage of the latest commercial chemical products, including pharmaceutical chemicals, updated safety and hazard material, and expanded coverage of laboratory and work practices and purification methods

1. Common Physical Techniques Used in Purification 2. Chemical Methods Used in Purification 3. Purification of Organic Chemicals 4. Purification of Inorganic and Metal-Organic Chemicals 5. Catalysts 6. Purification of Biochemicals 7. Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology

The authoritative resource on purification of laboratory chemicals, now revised to include empirical formulae, physical data, and substance applications

Wilfred L. F. Armarego graduated BSc (Hons) in 1953 and PhD from the University of London in 1956 and came to Australia in that year. After two years at the Central Research Laboratories (ICIANZ) in Melbourne, where he worked on plant growth substances, and one year on potentially carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons at the University of Melbourne as Senior Demonstrator in Organic Chemistry, he joined the Department of Medical Chemistry as a Research Fellã8
