Download or read book Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Environmental Chemistry written by Mark A. Nanny and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1997 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates the usefulness of NMR spectroscopy for a wide variety of applications in environmental science and technology. It contains a wealth of information relating to instrumentation, sample preparation, and data interpretation. The book is divided into three sectionsdiscussing contaminant interaction, solution and condensed-phase characterization, and nutrients and natural organic matter characterization. In addition to these in-depth chapters, an introductory overview provides the basic principles of solution and solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Each sectionalso contains a discussion of advances in each area directly attributable to NMR spectroscopy. A final chapter suggests future directions for the deployment of this powerful technology in environmental science.
