Handbook of Near-Infrared Analysis (Practical Spectroscopy, Vol 13)

Covering all major areas where near-infrared spectrosopy is useful - from pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, polymers, and textiles to wool, tobacco, and foodstuffs - this complete, thoroughly up-to-date reference provides a key to unlocking the power of the most rapid nondestructive method of composition analysis. "Handbook of Near-Infrared Analysis" presents explications of both theory and principles by world-renowned experts and discusses: fiberoptics for remote data gathering; NIR/Raman spectroscopy for high sensitivity; a host of industrial applications; and methods of development to adapt instruments and procedures to participate needs. Furnishing self-contained chapters filled with references to allow for in-depth study of specific topics, "Handbook of Near-Infrared Analysis" is for spectroscopists; analytical, quality assurance, and quality control chemists; managers and department heads in methods development laboratories; and upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and in-house training courses in spectroscopy and analytical chemistry.
