It is becoming more and more desirable for the analytical chemist to move away from the laboratory and iato the field via ia-field instmments and remote, poiat of use, measurements. As a result, process analytical chemistry has undergone an offensive thmst ia regard to problem solviag capabihty (77—79). In situ analysis enables the study of key process parameters for the purpose of definition and subsequent optimization. On-line analysis capabihty has already been extended to gc, Ic, ms, and ftir techniques as well as to icp-emission spectroscopy, flow iajection analysis, and near iafrared spectrophotometry (80). 

The development of fiber optics technology, user-friendly displays, and enhanced data presentation capabihties have made on-line analysis acceptable within the plant manufactuting environment. However, it is apparent that a barrier stiU exists to some extent within many organizations between the process control engineers, the plant operations department, and the analytical function, and proper sampling is stiU the key to successful process analytical chemistry. The ultimate goal is not to handle the sample at ah.

A final aspect of process analytical chemistry is the vulnerability of the sensitive detector components to the harsh conditions sometimes encountered in process sampling. It may be possible to physically separate sensitive components, especially the electronics, from the sampling site. Fiber optics... 

In the field of in-process analysis, analytical NMR applications also constitute a growth area - and also in relation to additives. This stems from the fact that the method makes it possible to use chemical analytical data in polymer quality control. Robust tools for hostile chemical plant environments are now available. The field of process analytical chemistry has been pushed to the forefront of the partnership between industry and academia.

Another assumption, which becomes apparent when one carefully examines the model (Equation 12.7), is that all of the model error (f) is in the independent variable (y). There is no provision in the model for errors in the dependent variable (x). In process analytical chemistry, this is equivalent to saying that there... 

With that said process analytical chemistry (PAC) has been commonplace in several industries, even the pharmaceutical industry, prior to 2004. Riebe and Eustace differentiate PAC from analytical chemistry with one word location. PAC is typically spectroscopy, separations or chemometrics, as apphed either at-, in- or on-line to manufacturing. Several comprehensive application reviews of process analytical chemistry have been published in Analytical Chemistry since 1987. " In one of these reviews Workman et al. comment that PAT has continued to evolve as a more appropriate term than PAC while noting PAC has existed since 1911 but is just now finding common usage. The scope of PAT is much broader than that of PAC as the FDA guidance outlines the following desired state for manufacturing ...

One barrier to the advancement in PAT across various industries is the tendency for each industry to be insular and not necessarily look beyond its walls to see parallel science done that can be applicable in their own environments. Often the technological advancements in terms of new technologies have been discovered in disparate industries, and hence go unnoticed in new area. There is a biennial review of process analytical chemistry in Analytical Chemistry that presents a broad view of advances being made and serves as a good resource. In looking towards the literature and discussions from other industries, one can learn of innovations that can be adapted to new problems without the need for completely new developments single handedly. 

The contents of the book are intended to help a newcomer in the field, as well as to provide current information including developing technologies, for those who have practiced process analytical chemistry and PAT for some time. The main spectroscopic tools used for PAT are presented NIR, Raman, UV-Vis and FTIR, including not just the hardware, but many apphcation examples, and implementation issues. As chemometrics is central for use of many of these tools, a comprehensive chapter on this, now revised to more specifically address some issues relevant to PAT is included. In this second edition many of the previous chapters have been updated and revised, and additional chapters covering the important topic of sampling, and the additional techniques of NMR, fluorescence, and acoustic chemometrics are included.
