Preface

This book presents recent and future trends in analytical methods and provides an overview of analytical chemistry, organized into four sections. As a comprehensive analytical chemistry book, it takes a broad view of the subject and integrates a wide variety of approaches. The first section of the book discusses sample preparation techniques. Topics include analytical instrumentation and methods, separation approaches and validation, and recent developments and applications in analytical chemistry. The book was written primarily for researchers in the fields of analytical chemistry, environmental chemistry, food and chemical engineering, and applied chemistry. Its aim is to explain the subject, clarify important studies, and compare and develop new and groundbreaking applications. Written by leading experts in their respective areas, it is highly recommended for professionals who are interested in analytical chemistry because it provides specific and comprehensive examples that compare new and classical methods. The book is edited by Dr. Muharrem Ince from Munzur University, Turkey. I hope the readers will find it useful.
