General Analytical Chemistry: Electrochemical Analysis Methods

This book is devoted to the quantitative electrochemical methods of analysis in solution. A theoretical knowledge of each method is discussed. The methods are illustrated with several examples covering a wide range of types of analysis. The book is divided in three parts. The first one is introductory. It recalls some definitions and some basic concepts of electrochemistry. The second part describes the methods themselves. Are studied voltametric methods, amperometry, potentiometry, conductometry, the electrogravimetry and coulometry. Some chapters are also dedicated to the chemical and electrochemical sensors. The third part consists in a supplementary theoretical knowledge of each method.

Jean-Louis Burgot, Pharmacist, PhD in organic chemistry and PhD in analytical chemistry - thermometric titrimetry, formerly Professor in Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmaceutical and Biological Sciences of University of Rennes 1. His research interests and publications involve the synthesis and study of the physico-chemical properties of 1,2-Dithiole-3-thiones and derivatives, and the determination of thermodynamic and kinetic constants of pharmacologically active compounds. He has published seven books in French and English.
