Springer Green Chromatographic Techniques: Separation and Purification of Organic and Inorganic Analytes

This book examines counter-current, ion size exclusion, supercritical fluids, high-performance thin layers, and gas and size exclusion chromatographic techniques used to separate and purify organic and inorganic analytes. Includes green prep methods and more. From the Back Cover Green analytical chemistry research calls for the use of green solvents and characterization techniques that can be used for the separation, identification and purification of organic and inorganic analytes. This book presents a unified outlook on counter-current, ion size exclusion, supercritical fluids, high-performance thin layers, and gas and size exclusion chromatographic techniques used for the separation and purification of organic and inorganic analytes. It also describes a number of green techniques, green sample preparation methods and optimization of solvent consumption in the chromatographic analysis of organic and inorganic analytes.This book offers a valuable resource not only for learners, but also for more experienced chromatographers, conveying a deeper understanding of green chromatographic techniques, green solvents and preparation methods.   About the Author Dr. Inamuddin is currently working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Applied Chemistry, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), Aligarh, India.
