Reduction in the number of chemical processing steps allows for significant reduchon in the amount of in-process and Quality Control (QC) analysis of raw materials and intermediates required in the semi-synthetic route. Reduced handling and storage/disposal of cytotoxic samples by operators and analysts reduces opportunities for hazardous exposure.

Conception is the most critical step in the development of a new process. Though still done largely on the basis of experience and intuition, it may be implemented with process synthesis. Computerized algorithms may provide for a large number of possible routes to a product. This method, combined with the analysis of raw material costs and DS-51 ASTM tests for process hazardousness, are the best options to speed up the bench-scale development of new chemical processes. Thus, one or a reduced number of routes to the desired product can be identified for preliminary process development.

The use of GC was first included in the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) in the sixteenth edition in 1960, and became an official method of the British Pharmacopoeia (BP) in 1968. GC has found widespread use in pharmaceutical analysis by virtue of its applications to purity and control analysis of raw materials, content and quality assessment of dosage forms (including product stability), and in the quantitative measurement of drugs in biological fluids. The latter application is important for therapeutic drug monitoring, pharmacokinetic studies, and bioavailability assessments. In fact, in a survey on GC use, ° a major application of this technique was in the field of pharmaceuticals.

Reviews on the analysis of polymers and polymer products have recently appeared (184-187). Typical applications are covered for analysis of raw materials for coatings (188-191) and determination of volatile components of commercial polymers (192). Mass spectrometry of thermally treated polymers (193) and of stressed polymers are treated (194) with instrumental and experimental details given in more detail than in corresponding journal references. 

Beginning in the 930s. a major portion of industrial laboratories throughout the world adopted spark and arc emission spectroscopy for elemental analysis of raw materials, intermediates, and finished products. In ihe early years, ihe only instrument available for this tvpe )f analysis was the speann raph with a photographic iilm or plate located at the k>cai plane v>r curve. 

By the end of the eighteenth century, the impact of greater scientific understanding (such as chemical analysis of raw materials) had changed the field of ceramics. At the same time, the ceramic industry played an influential role in the industrial revolution and the development of factory systems in England and across Europe. Ceramics became... 

These are very essential for assistance during commissioning, analysis of raw materials and intermediate process streams, finished products, eflfiuent streams before and after treatment, and to monitor proper working of the reactors. 

Internal records (for manufacturer) are as follows—date and shift of manufacture, reactor/unit used for production, process conditions maintained during production, and source and analysis of raw materials used. 

Inspection at entry point Regular laboratory analysis of raw materials should be carried out to ensure smooth operations and minimum waste generation since they can more easily get converted to finished products, cause less choking in the plant units, and will not cause process problems (deactivate catalysts). 

Ensuring smooth process plant operations by quality/analysis checks at every stage of manufacture, e.g. analysis of raw materials at the time of procurement, progress of reaction, activity of catalysts, refinement of crude products into acceptable grade by controls on flow, temperature, and concentration. Reducing equipment breakdowns by better process control and timely alarms for abnormal situations. 

Analysis of raw materials, additives, stabilisers, and effluent treatment chemicals before their acceptance. The quality of incoming material can be checked at the entry point of the process itself.

Implement process control programme at every step of production (analysis of raw material, reactor operation, calibration of instruments, replacement of catalyst, filtration of raw material/product streams, purification steps for final product, etc.). 

In the cement and mineral industries, XRF analysis of raw materials, intermediate and final products for production and quality control is well established. In addition to the traditional analysis, the universal XRF analysis allows analysis of environmentally relevant elements and materials. New applications of XRF analysis are in the electronic industries analyzing semiconductors, wafers and data carriers, and in the fodder, food and pharmaceutical industries. 

Furthermore, routine analysis and quafity control often requires the analysis of raw materials. For... 

Additionally, polyesters and polyethers may contain several impurities derived from their methods of manufacture and being polymeric materials may vary in molecular weight and type of end-group. For routine analysis of raw materials, a determination of hydroxyl value, acid value and water content is usually sufficient. The reactivity of polyesters of the same chemical type can vary widely and for this reason it is sensible that an activity test be performed similar to that for diisocyanates using a diisocyanate of standardized activity. 

The main power of the method is the analysis of light elements (i.e., Ca and below). Their capture cross sections are characteristically a few tenths of a barn, which allows their assay even in weak neutron beams (e.g., the industrial analysis of raw materials using neutron generators). The most important of them is hydrogen, which can be analyzed with a fairly good sensitivity in almost any kind of matrix. PGAA is a unique tool for the determination of hydrogen or water content even in trace amounts.

In 1984, Mark introduced the Mahalanobis distance in an algorithm for discriminant analysis of raw materials. The theory behind the software was described in a paper by Mark and Turmell [21] and first applied to pharmaceuticals by Ciurczak [22]. With the advent of 100% testing of incoming raw materials, qualitative analysis of raw materials by NIR became popular quickly.

There are several approaches to the complete analysis of raw materials. The following range of methods gives the analyst a degree of choice. There are similar schemes based on the same principles, e.g. that of Battaglini et al. [24]. The analysis of formulated products probably calls for only the determination of the active and the chief impurity, i.e. the sulphonated carboxylate salt. 

Analysis of raw materials can be done in several ways, but analysis of formulated products is more difficult.
