Overview

In the tradition of the popular first edition, Analysis of Surfactants, Second Edition offers a comprehensive and practical account of analysis methods for determining and understanding commercially important surfactants-individually and in compounds. Combining a complete review of the literature with a variety of evaluation procedures and the specifications for commercial products, this useful reference explores the key stages and latest developments for surfactant applications. This edition has been thoroughly expanded and features new sections on capillary electrophoresis, ether carboxylates, and ester quats. It is also more globally accessible with foreign language citations and SI units.

Containing over 2400 references, drawings, tables, and equations, Analysis of Surfactants, Second Edition is an recommended reference for physical, surface, colloid, and oil chemists; analytical, research, and quality assurance chemists working in the soap and detergent, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic industries; regulatory and food scientists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.

A handbook Schmitt hopes will provide chemists new to a particular area with the perspective to begin an analysis, and provide the more experienced analysts with an up-to-date and thoroughly indexed reference. In line with modern laboratory practice, he describes instrumental techniques in preference to wet chemistry for both qualitative and quantitative analysis, and emphasizes chromatographic procedures. He describes how to determine what surfactant a particular one is, and characterizes commercial surfactants. Readers should consult the original sources, he suggests, before actually beginning laboratory work. He has updated the 1992 edition with more accessible references, and has translated units of measure to accommodate the unexpected international readership. Annotation c.
