Indicator product analysis techniques

The main idea of research is application of accessible, simple and express methods that don t need expensive reagent techniques for analysis of phanuaceutical products based on bischofite. The determination of metal ions such as Mg, Zn, Cu, Fe by complex-formation titrations using a widely applicable chelating agent, EDTA, have been studied as a function of pH, complexing agents and indicators. The analysis consists of four parts ... 

Dutch law has indicated NAA as the technique of choice for the analysis of polymer waste (recycling). INAA has been recommended as the analysis technique for the determination of cadmium in industrial products. 

Laser desorption methods (such as LD-ITMS) are indicated as cost-saving real-time techniques for the near future. In a single laser shot, the LDI technique coupled with Fourier-transform mass spectrometry (FTMS) can provide detailed chemical information on the polymeric molecular structure, and is a tool for direct determination of additives and contaminants in polymers. This offers new analytical capabilities to solve problems in research, development, engineering, production, technical support, competitor product analysis, and defect analysis. Laser desorption techniques are limited to surface analysis and do not allow quantitation, but exhibit superior analyte selectivity. 

If a comparison of alternative mechanisms indicates that products additional to those already detected should be formed by just one of the possible routes, e.g. the putative intermediate in Scheme 1.1 maybe known (or reasonably expected) to give more than one product, then return to a more detailed analysis of the products is indicated. However, in this event, one needs to establish beforehand that a technique is available for the detection and (preferably) quantification of the additional product(s) being sought. In general, if alternative mechanisms can be distinguished by product analysis, it is essential that the analytical technique and experimental protocol to be used be validated and shown to be capable of giving unambiguous results. 

Inferential analysis [20, 21] is not a spectroscopy but could have a bearing upon the use of all process analysis techniques. It is a term being used to describe measurements that are not made but are inferred from other properties of the process under scrutiny. These methods rely upon process models being available for the process concerned. The value of this approach, quite apart from the fact that no expensive equipment is needed, is that it can give an indication of a measurement when it is impossible to extract a sample without it undergoing change or where inserting a probe is impractical. Inferential methods can also be useful to provide values between the frequency of the installed measurement devices or indeed when the measurement devices are off-line for maintenance purposes. The quality of an intermediate or a product, can in some instances be inferred from the values of temperature, pressure and flow rates in the area of the process under consideration. 

Part 11 of this text details a number of the various common system safety analytical methods and techniques that are practiced in the system safety discipline. Each of these methods or techniques is usually conducted at specific points during the project or product life cycle, as indicated in Eigure 3.4. At this point, it is important to understand that a specific system or program may require the use of any or all of the system safety analysis techniques available to today s system safety professional. Each method has its own distinct purpose and function, and, as tools, each can be quite useful.
