Batch analysers

Several authors have presented methods for the simultaneous estimation of crystal growth and nucleation kinetics from batch crystallizations. In an early study, Bransom and Dunning (1949) derived a crystal population balance to analyse batch CSD for growth and nucleation kinetics. Misra and White (1971), Ness and White (1976) and McNeil etal. (1978) applied the population balance to obtain both nucleation and crystal growth rates from the measurement of crystal size distributions during a batch experiment. In a refinement, Tavare and... 

Goodman [28] described an automated procedure for the determination of nitrate in soils. The apparatus automatically extracts and analyses batches of up to 60 soil samples. Analysis is performed electrochemically by means of an ion-selective electrode and reference electrode. Corning ion-selective electrodes were found to be superior to those produced by Orion in this application. Recoveries of nitrate in this method were between 94 and 95%. The calibration curve was linear down to 2.5 mg/1 nitrate. A plan of the general arrangement is shown in Fig. 6.3. 

A quality control sample, often known as a QC sample or check sample may be an in-house material prepared for this purpose or it may be from a previously analysed batch of samples. 

Flow injection analysis (FIA) was developed in the mid-1970s as a highly efficient technique for the automated analyses of samples. °> Unlike the centrifugal analyzer described earlier in this chapter, in which samples are simultaneously analyzed in batches of limited size, FIA allows for the rapid, sequential analysis of an unlimited number of samples. FIA is one member of a class of techniques called continuous-flow analyzers, in which samples are introduced sequentially at regular intervals into a liquid carrier stream that transports the samples to the detector. ... 

Statistical quaUty control charts of variables are plots of measurement data, preferably the average result of repHcate analyses, vs time (Fig. 2). Time is often represented by the sequence of batches or analyses. The average of all the data points and the upper and lower control limits are drawn on the chart. The control limits are closely approximated by the sum of the grand average plus for the upper control limit, or minus for the lower control limit, three times the standard deviation. 

Various types of analyses can be made on spot samples to determine batch uniformity. These coiild include x-ray fluorescence, flame spec-trometiy, polarography, emission spec troscopy, and so on, depending... 

The inhibition analyses were examined differently for free lipase in a batch and immobilised lipase in membrane reactor system. Figure 5.14 shows the kinetics plot for substrate inhibition of the free lipase in the batch system, where [5] is the concentration of (S)-ibuprofen ester in isooctane, and v0 is the initial reaction rate for (S)-ester conversion. The data for immobilised lipase are shown in Figure 5.15 that is, the kinetics plot for substrate inhibition for immobilised lipase in the EMR system. The Hanes-Woolf plots in both systems show similar trends for substrate inhibition. The graphical presentation of rate curves for immobilised lipase shows higher values compared with free enzymes. The value for the...

Mass Spectrometry. The mass spectra were obtained on a CEC 21-llOB mass spectrometer with the batch inlet system maintained at 250°C to assure complete vaporization of the samples. Sensitivity factors for quantitative analysis were obtained from standards of di-, tetra-, hexa-, and octa-chlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. The factors for the intermediate chlorinated species were estimated by interpolation. The analyses were based... 

Four mmoles of malononitrile and benzaldehyde were introduced in a batch stirred tank reactor at 323 K with toluene as solvent (30 ml). Then 0.05 g of aluminophosphate oxynitride was added. Samples were analysed by gas chromatography (Intersmat Delsi DI200) using a capillary column (CPSilSCB-25 m). Care was taken to avoid mass or heat transfer limitations. Before the reaction no specific catalyst pretreatment was done.
