Analytical Methods

Principal component analysis is one of the most important and powerful methods in chemometrics as well as in a wealth of other areas.

An online repository of published organic fluorescence spectra has been developed, which can be searched for quantitative matches with any set of unknown spectra.

Microplastics have become a major global environmental issue in recent decades due to their ubiquity in the oceans, bioavailability and ability to carry toxic chemicals.

Plastic pollution has become one of the largest environmental challenges we currently face, but standardized reporting is required to meet critical research needs.

Green analytical chemistry although is not a new concept, it does not have greenness metrics system. Some efforts have been made to develop suitable metrics for analytical chemistry. The present review analyses the different methods proposed for an accurate greenness metrics system.

The degree of substitution (DS) of highly acetylated cellulose acetate (CA) was quantitatively evaluated by FTIR.
