Scientists from Moscow, Russia studied the dynamics of lithium plasma under laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy using a custom system made using 3DLINE code.
The Use of Process Analytical Technology in Biofuels Production
September 1st 2008Biofuels such as biodiesel and bioethanol are now the main alternatives to fossil fuels in one of the most pollutant human activities: transportation. The authors report on the use of process analytical technology for mapping raw materials, fingerprinting process trajectories, and calibrating for the most important quality specifications, both for individual chemical and physical attributes or for combined quality attributes, thusleading to more consistent and economically viable processes.
Process Monitoring: In-line, At-line, or Slip-stream?
February 1st 2006As process analytical technology (PAT) moves out of the laboratory and into the plant and to the process stream itself, the question arises, "What is the best way to collect data from stream samples?" The author shows that this depends upon both the nature of the stream and the components to be measured.
