Foreword to the first English
edition
In Dutch, scheikunde (German: Scheidekunst = the art of separation) is synonymous
with ‘Chemistry’. No chemistry whatsoever without separation, without analysis!
And no analysis without ‘Instrumentation Methods and Techniques’, i.e. without
the sub-title of the present book!
Instrumentation was, for a long time, rather crude by today’s standards: the
furnace, the alembic, the separatory funnel, the filter, the balance Crude, and
cheap. Today, no modern analytical laboratory is without M$ investments in
optical, mass and NMR spectrometers, in high performance chromatographs, in
electro-analytical equipment.
But also, how heavy the responsibility resting on the shoulders of the analytical
chemist! He is the one who in the first place is responsible for the forced closing
of a dioxin-delinquent waste incineration plant, for the approval of a new nonpersistent pesticide, for the demotion of an athlete from his Olympic title for having
used illegal drugs, for the identification of a criminal by the traces of gunpowder on
his hands, for the quantification of environmental contaminants, for the detection
of diabetes or of poisoning, for the establishment and the enforcement of standards
used in World trade The analyst, with his power to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’, is one of
the most influential of our contemporaries!
There are many books on analytical chemistry, but there were very few, and
rather old ones, in French, until F. and A. Rouessac published the first French
edition of the present book, eight years ago: they had a niche to fill. Four successive
editions have confirmed that they had filled it well: their book was simple, highly
informative, and it was kept up-to-date. Through its successive improvements,
it has become mature for translation. I am sure the present English version, for
which I see no equivalent, will now be useful world-wide to students, as well as
to professionals. Fare well, Rouessac & Rouessac!

Preface to the first English
edition
The book entitled Analyse Chimique. Methodes et techniques instrumentals
modernes, written originally in French by Professor F. Rouessac and his wife
A. Rouessac, has been revised several times and is now in its 4th edition. It is an
ongoing project that provides updated versions and increases the usefulness of the
manuscript.
The purpose of the work has been to provide basic information on methods of
chemical analysis and new instrumentation techniques that have been developed
and improved in recent years. Its objective is to provide the analyst with a reference
manual while providing students with a teaching tool that covers the basics of
most instrumental techniques presently used in chemical analysis. It incorporates
basic principles, describes commonly used instruments and discusses the main
application for most of the analytical techniques.
The book classifies methods of analysis according to three categories: separation
techniques, spectroscopy techniques and other methods. It was written for undergraduate students in chemistry but with the view that it may be of interest for
students in other disciplines (physics, biology, etc.) where chemical methods of
analysis and instrumental techniques are used. Thus, it provides sufficient information to understand the techniques and their application and allows students
to find additional information in more advanced works that discuss specialised
instrumental techniques in more detail.
Professor Rouessac gathered the material presented in this book during his
teaching career at the University of Le Mans and he has made an effort to integrate
theory and practice in a remarkable way. The chapters contain detailed descriptions
of instruments and techniques with a few applied examples that are useful to
appreciate the scope of the techniques as well as their strengths and limitations in
the applied world. The philosophy behind the manuscript is to show that although
analytical chemistry and chemical analysis are sometimes considered as different
topics, they are inherently intertwined.
Over the years, we have seen a tremendous evolution in chemical analysis.
Because of developments in electronics and computer sciences, many new
approaches have been developed based on physical measurements and these
approaches are now widely used. Nowadays, there is a legion of instrumentation
techniques that are more sensitive, more selective and can be applied to analytical
problems in many areas of science where the structure determination and quantisation of chemical species is needed. For example, physical methods of chemical

analysis are being used overwhelmingly in the biological sciences. Moreover, the
combination of two or more instrumentation analysis techniques had led to the
introduction of hyphenated methods that are extremely powerful and require the
basic knowledge of the underlying principles. This manuscript provides the essential knowledge for the understanding of these techniques and opens the door to
their areas of applications. It also treats some older techniques that maintain their
important place in industrial processes. It has been a pleasure for us to translate
Professor Rouessac’s work. Although we have been able to translate the technical
material relatively precisely, there is a flavour of expression used by the authors
in their native language that cannot be transposed, as is usually the case with
translations. In spite of this limitation, we believe that the content of this book
will be extremely useful to readers that are seeking knowledge and information
on chemical analysis and analytical instrumentation.

Preface to second edition
This textbook presents an explanatory and exploratory review of the basic concepts
behind the methodologies most frequently encountered in the qualitative, quantitative and structural chemical analysis employed in sectors as diverse as the
chemical, pharmaceutical, food and agricultural industries as well as those areas
of the environment subjected to stringent controls.
The techniques under review have been classed into one of the following three
categories: Separative Methods, Spectral Methods and Other Methods, each of
which is the object of an investigative study of the fundamental ideas, their extension, development and application to the corresponding principal, instrumental
techniques. Each chapter is illustrated by photographs, numerous diagrams and
schemes of chemical reactions or technical principles many of which have been
inspired by real instruments and documents obtained from the constructors.
However, in order that the book be contained within a reasonable volume, those
methods rarely used, or currently in regression are not discussed.
Written and presented as comprehensively as possible, the text addresses a broad
spectrum of techniques relevant to a wide range of subjects in chemistry, physics
and applied biology and will prove appropriate for students of pre-university,
undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Specialist technicians in university support,
research and industrial training services will equally find this book useful. The
current needs of certain professional sectors in chemical analysis, some of which
may appear to have been neglected, linked with the increasing choice of techniques
and instruments available, equally justify this compendium of information which
updates and unifies several previously available texts.
Though aimed at an otherwise broad readership, this book has been principally
designed to engage the interest of students of chemical analysis and to harness
their appreciation of the subject as a particular tool employed in a great many
experimental sciences and a variety of associated domains.
The authors have included reminders of fundamental principles and have taken
account of the evolution of knowledge and the developments in approaches to
physical and mathematical phenomena. The text contains only a minimum of
theory in order not to lose the attention of the broader readership whose interest is
preferential for the technical content. Those readers so wishing may undertake the
reading of the more specialised œuvres without major difficulty, having acquired
from this book a suitable introduction to both the current methods and practical
aspects.
The content also reflects the profound changes in analytical techniques currently
employed in laboratories. The inherent changes resulting from the growth in
demand, the now quite necessary volume of data to be treated, from computerisation and the new requirements most notably in trace analysis.

PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION
Comprising a discussion of more than twenty methods, which bearing in mind
the large number of applications for each capable of being the subject of a lengthy
review, along with the addition of individual exercises, (problems and solutions)
and the whole delivered in less than 580 pages, the authors have responded to a
considerable challenge. They have preferred a format limited to the presentation
of the tools themselves rather than to descriptions of all that their use permits
them to do. The choice of applications has therefore been simplified to those
which express an illustrative value.
The origin of this book has been the coursework, accumulated over a number of
years, which has been presented to the students of the Institute of Technology at the
University of Le Mans, France. Colleagues and friends have given graciously of their
time for both the re-reading of the text and for critical suggestions. This version
of Chemical Analysis is the 2nd International Edition and has been updated and
completed with respect to its predecessor. The fifth edition of this book has equally
been translated into Spanish. The title is Anàlisis Quimico. Methodos y Técnicas

published. The authors wish to thank professors Karen Waldron and Michel
Bertrand of the University of Montreal for the very hard work they did in translating the manuscript that was used for the first English edition (John Wiley,
2000). The present text leans on this translation, a large part of it being
kept.
We also acknowledge Dr Steve Brooks of the Institut de Génétique et de Biologie
Moléculaire et Cellulaire in Strasbourg, who translated the text of the French
5th edition. Finally, we have reworked all the chapters and included improved
drawings into the text.
The authors also wish to express their gratitude to Professor Guy Ourisson,
former President of the French Académie des Sciences, who in agreeing to write
a forward for previous editions of this book, bestowed upon it a great honour.
Sadly Professor Ourission passed away in November 2006.
Our special thanks also to the staff of John Wiley & Sons, Ltd (Chichester). We
are especially indebted to the following for their kind assistance: Andy Slade, Robert
Hambrook, Elizabeth Kingston, Alison Woodhouse (freelance copy-editor) and
also Sunita Jayachandran of Integra Ltd (India) for producing a book of pleasing
appearance. Those we have inadvertently missed have our sincere apologies.
Below is a list of the companies that have graciously agreed to provide us with
both information and documents, certain of which have been reproduced within
the text. Their assistance has been particularly precious in view of the speed of
technological progress in the sector of analytical instrumentation.
