Karl Fischer Titration.
325
There are separate chapters on atomization processes in flames and furnaces and their impact on analytical measurements, and similar considerations of hydride and cold-vapour mercury generation. There is a brief diversion into atomic emission spectrometry in flames, the ICP and the graphite furnace, and a mention of atomic fluorescence. The remaining, almost half, of the book is concerned with details of the determination of each element, arranged alphabetically, and of the analysis of various types of sample, and 2491 references. The coverage of the subject is comprehensive. It is clearly presented, with ample illustrations, and, although written in German, it will not provide too many difficulties to those of us who have only a modicum of elementary German. It gives an up-to-date picture of an area of analytical chemistry that is still developing rapidly, and is probably the best available text on the subject. An English translation would be most worthwhile. A. Townshend E. Scholz, Karl Fischer Titration. Springer-Verlag, Berlin-Heidelberg, x + 138 pp. Price DM 98.

During recent years the Karl Fischer method for water determinations has undergone important development through the advent of new microprocessorcontrolled titration equipment as well as new and more efficient reagents. Moreover, and not least thanks to the fundamental studies of the author himself, the chemistry of the Karl Fischer titration is now, for the first time since its introduction in 1935, relatively well understood. This book is unique, the only guide of its kind to methods based on the Karl Fischer reaction. It is concise and comprehensive and covers the most important theoretical and practical aspects. Of special importance for the analyst is the second half of the book dealing with applications and sources of errors. This part is a very nice piece of work constituting a critical review of methods proposed in the literature for water determinations in a variety of organic and inorganic compounds as well as in materials like foodstuffs, technical products and natural products. This book can be strongly recommended to all people coming into contact with the problem of determining water by means of the Karl Fischer reagent. A. Cedergren D. T. Sawyer, W. R. Heineman and J. M.
