Although commercially available laboratory chemicals are usually satisfactory, as supplied, for most purposes in scientific and technological work, it is also true that for many applications further purification is essential.
With this thought in mind, the present volume sets out, firstly, to tabulate methods, taken from the literature, for purifying some thousands of individual commercially available chemicals. To help in applying this information, two chapters describe the more common processes currently used for purification in chemical laboratories and give fuller details of new methods which appear likely to find increasing application for the same purpose. Finally, for dealing with substances not separately listed, a chapter is included setting out the usual methods for purifying specific classes of compounds.
To keep this book to a convenient size, and bearing in mind that its most likely users will be laboratory-trained, we have omitted manipulative details with which they can be assumed to be familiar, and also detailed theoretical discussion. Both are readily available elsewhere, for example in Vogel's very useful book Practical Organic Chemistry (Longmans, London, 3rd ed., 19-56), or Fieser's Experiments in Organic Chemistry (Heath, Boston, 3rd ed, 1957).
For the same reason, only limited mention is made of the kinds of impurities likely to be present, and of the tests for detecting them. In many cases, this information can be obtained readily from existing monographs.
By its nature, the present treatment is not exhaustive, nor do we claim that any of the methods taken from the literature are the best possible. Nevertheless, we feel that the information contained in this book is likely to be helpful to a wide range of
laboratory workers, including physical and inorganic chemists, research students, biochemists, and biologists. We hope that it will also be of use, although perhaps to only a limited extent, to experienced organic chemists.
