Description

Process Analytical Technology explores the concepts of PATand its application in the chemical and pharmaceutical industryfrom the point of view of the analytical chemist. In this newedition all of the original chapters have been updated and revised,and new chapters covering the important topics of sampling, NMR,fluorescence, and acoustic chemometrics have been added.



Coverage includes:



   Implementation of Process Analytical Technologies

   UV-Visible Spectroscopy for On-line Analysis

   Infrared Spectroscopy for Process Analytical Applications

   Process Raman Spectroscopy

   Process NMR Spectrscopy: Technology and On-lineApplications

   Fluorescent Sensing and Process Analytical Applications

   Chemometrics in Process Analytical Technology (PAT)

   On-Line PAT Applications of Spectroscopy in the PharmaceuticalIndustry

   Future Trends for PAT for Increased Process Understanding andGrowing Applications in Biomanufacturing

   NIR Chemical Imaging



This volume is an important starting point for anyone wanting toimplement PAT and is intended not only to assist a newcomer to thefield but also to provide up-to-date information for those whopractice process analytical chemistry and PAT.



It is relevant for chemists, chemical and process engineers, andanalytical chemists working on process development, scale-up andproduction in the pharmaceutical, fine and specialty chemicalsindustries, as well as for academic chemistry, chemicalengineering, chemometrics and pharmaceutical science researchgroups focussing on PAT.



Review from the First Edition



“The book provides an excellent first port of call foranyone seeking material and discussions to understand the areabetter. It deserves to be found in every library that serves thosewho are active in the field of Process AnalyticalTechnology.”—Current Engineering Practice
