Though many separation processes are available for use in todays analytical laboratory, chromatographic methods are the most widely used. The applications of chromatography have grown explosively in the last four decades, owing to the development of new techniques and to the expanding need of scientists for better methods of separating complex mixtures. With its comprehensive, unified approach, this book will greatly assist the novice in need of a reference to chromatographic techniques, as well as the specialist suddenly faced with the need to switch from one technique to another.

Kevin Robards majored in analytical chemistry and biochemistry. He
worked in industry with edible oils and completed an Honours thesis
on synthetic antioxidants. After some years investigating
complexation chemistry and chromatography and a brief period
examining the agricultural applications of rare earths, he returned
to his passion, antioxidants, only now looking at naturally
occurring members such as biophenols. The last years of his
employment were divided between biophenolic research and studying
academic and corporate governance.
After five decades of research and teaching at all levels
(undergraduate through post-doctoral) in analytical chemistry with
a specific emphasis on chromatography, Professor Robards has now
retired and was granted Emeritus status in recognition of his
contribution to the academy. Professor Haddad's academic career has
been spent at the Australian National University, the University of
New South Wales, and since 1992 at the University of Tasmania. At
UTAS he has held the positions of Head of School of Chemistry
(1992) and Dean of the Faculty of Science and Engineering
(1993-2001). He was an Australian Research Council Professorial
Fellow from 2004-2006, and an Australian Research Council
Federation Fellow from 2006-2011. He was awarded the title of
Distinguished Professor in 2011. Professor Haddad served as the
foundation Director of the Australian Centre for Research on
Separation Science from 2001-2013 and as Director of the Pfizer
Analytical Research Centre from 2006-2013. He is currently an
Emeritus Distinguished Professor.
"This is a carefully written, broadly-based, text for either the non-specialists chromatographer or those scientists who use chromatography extensively in their work but dont consider themselves experts on the topic. It is significantly more than a simple introduction to the topic but by no means an advanced treatise...Overall, this is a welcomed contribution to the chromatography literature and can be recommended to its target audience. This reviewer would rate it among the besttexts of its type currently available and the authors have been broadly successful in meeting their stated goals." --Colin F. Poole, in JOURNAL OF CHROMATOGRAPHY "The introductory chapter is one of the best that I have seen; it is comprehensive and educational...and concludes with an excellent and extensive bibliography...I found this to be an excellent book: by steering away from the more specialised areas the authors have written an easily readable and understandable basic reference for chromatography. I highly recommend it to anyone considering analytical chemistry as a career-if only to whet their appetite!" --CHEMISTRY IN BRITAIN
