Modeling and Monitoring of Time-Dependent Processes with Spectroscopic TechniquesSpectroscopic techniques have a long history as quantitative methods for on-line and at-line use in a wide range of industries, where, in many cases, they are more accurate than the reference methods. These processes are typically continuous, but time-depending processes such as batch processes are widely used in many industries.
