Focusing on essential safety protocols and techniques, this book serves as a vital resource for creating a safe chemical laboratory environment. It is organized into two sections: the first emphasizes comprehensive safety procedures, while the second outlines key techniques that practitioners need to master. Designed for graduate students, laboratory technicians, and chemists, it provides practical guidance to enhance laboratory practices and ensure safety.
25 Must-Know Classes of Organic Compounds
Focusing on essential organic compounds, the book provides an in-depth exploration of 25 crucial classes in organic chemistry. Each class is examined for its structure, properties, and reactions, making complex concepts accessible. The text aims to enhance understanding and retention through clear explanations and practical examples, serving as a valuable resource for students and professionals alike. With an emphasis on application, readers will gain insights into the relevance of these compounds in real-world scenarios and their role in various scientific fields.
Pollutants, Microbial Contaminants, Water and Wastewater Treatment
Focusing on water chemistry and its practical applications, the book explores water sources, pollutants, and microbiological contaminants. It effectively teaches fundamental concepts while delving into stormwater management and green infrastructure. The content is tailored for graduate and advanced undergraduate students, as well as environmental researchers and lab technicians in the water sector. Unlike many existing texts aimed primarily at chemical engineers, this book also addresses the needs of technicians and chemists, making it a valuable resource for a broader audience.
Good Laboratory Practice and Laboratory Information Management Systems
This book for chemical technicians contains a variety of skills that chemical technicians and technicians who work in chemical plants should develop as part of their successful experience. Many of these competencies were unintentionally addressed in other resources in a dispersed way across chapters in various textbooks and internet resources, but many others were not. The book also provides a brief overview of the tasks that various chemical laboratory technicians must perform as part of their employment. It also includes a thorough explanation of the sampling techniques, chemical analysis, and a description of the various tools and methods used in chemical labs. Additionally the book covers information management systems and good practices in laboratories, as well as how these have allowed and facilitated best practices in laboratories and the gathering of data that improves technicians’ experience and knowledge. Finally, some advice on using lab glassware, laboratory emergency first aid, and a short description of the chemicals that chemical technicians frequently use are provided.
