Process Analytical Chemistry, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1995

Process analytical chemistry (PAC) can be defined as the technology of obtaining quantitative and qualitative information about a chemical process in order to control or optimise its performance. This highly practical book provides an up-to-date introduction to the field with a special emphasis placed on industrial processes. Edited by representatives from one of the world's leading chemical companies and centres of excellence for research into the subject, the book is written by a transatlantic team of authors who provide a global perspective.

Process analytical chemistry in perspective. Sampling systems. Principal property analysers. Chromatography. Flow injection analysis. Spectroscopy. Electrochemistry. Chemometrics. Environmental monitoring. Non-invasive techniques. Future developments of chemical sensors and analyzer system.

'This is an interesting book...students in analytical chemistry and chemical engineering will find it useful supplementary reading.'Analysis Europa'Each chapter is self-contained and can be read independently of the others, a useful feature given the scope of the book. Most of the chapters are purely descriptive and...contain many useful tips and much sound advice...This book will give hints and encouragement to those, all too few, technology champions who follow the trends and collaborate with the scientific and technical world outside their own group.'Analyst'This book is written in a readable style, and the information is presented in such a way as to be intelligible to the non-specialist.'Chemistry and Industry
