Precision The relative precision of precipitation gravimetry depends on the amount of sample and precipitate involved. For smaller amounts of sample or precipitate, relative precisions of 1-2 ppt are routinely obtained. When working with larger amounts of sample or precipitate, the relative precision can be extended to several parts per million. Few quantitative techniques can achieve this level of precision. 

Failure Mode and Ejfect Analysis (FMEA) This is a systematic study of the causes of failures and their effects. All causes or modes of failure are considered for each element of a system, and then all possible outcomes or effects are recorded. This method is usually used in combination with fault tree analysis, a quantitative technique. FMEA is a comphcated procedure, usually carried out by experienced risk analysts.

ICPMS is uniquely able to borrow a quantitation technique from molecular mass spectrometry. Use of the isotope dilution technique involves the addition of a spike having a different isotope ratio to the sample, which has a known isotope ratio. This is usefiil for determining the concentration of an element in a sample that must undergo some preparation before analysis, or for measuring an element with high precision and accuracy. ... 

The Snoek pendulum, which in the most general sense is a device to measure relaxations, has also been used to measure relaxation caused by tangential displacements at grain boundaries. This application has been the central concern of a distinguished Chinese physicist, Tingsui Ke, for all of the past 55 years. He was stimulated to this study by Clarence Zener, in 1945, and pursued the approach, first in Chicago and then in China. This exceptional fidelity to a powerful quantitative technique was recognised by a medal and an invitation to deliver an overview lecture in America, recently published shortly before his death (Ke 1999). 

In addition, the chapter will provide an overview of htunan reliability quantification techniques, and the relationship between these techniques and qualitative modeling. The chapter will also describe how human reliability is integrated into chemical process quantitative risk assessment (CPQRA). Both qualitative and quantitative techniques will be integrated within a framework called SPEAR (System for Predictive Error Analysis and Reduction). 

The purpose of this chapter is to show that improvements in safety, quality, and productivity are possible by applying some of the ideas and techniques described in this book. The fact that error reduction approaches have not yet been widely adopted in the CPI, together with questions of confidentiality, has meant that it has not been possible to provide examples of all the techniques described in the book. However, the examples provided in this chapter illustrate some of the most generally useful qualitative techniques. Case studies of quantitative techniques are provided separately in the quantification section (Chapter 5). The first two case studies illustrate the use of incident analysis techniques (Chapter 6).

A general overview of each of these steps is given below. This is followed by a specific example involving an increasingly powerful quantitation technique, liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). 

Deciding which risk-reduction method to use maybe difficult. In many instances, appropriate decisions can be made without resorting to quantitative techniques. However, in some cases, particularly when the options are costly, quantitative risk analysis (QRA) and risk-based decision-making approaches may be an effective basis for measuring the improvement in safety arising from the proposed options. These approaches can also be used in prioritizing safety improvements and balancing cost and production issues. 

Since SERS and SERRS are substance specific, they are ideal for characterisation and identification of chromatographically separated compounds. SE(R)R is not, unfortunately, as generally applicable as MS or FUR, because the method requires silver sol adsorption, which is strongly analyte-dependent. SE(R)R should, moreover, be considered as a qualitative rather than a quantitative technique, because the absolute activity of the silver sol is batch dependent and the signal intensity within a TLC spot is inhomogeneously distributed. TLC-FTIR and TLC-RS are considered to be more generally applicable methods, but much less sensitive than TLC-FT-SERS FT-Raman offers p,m resolution levels, as compared to about 10p,m for FTIR. TLC-Raman has been reviewed [721],... 

The use of vibrational spectroscopy for the qualitative analysis of absorbed surface species is first considered, and a Table is then included which summarises a number of the key features of the various quantitative techniques. We then proceed to summarize these in groups depending not upon the probe used (as in the preceding chapters), but in terms of the signal emitted by the specimen which is used in each identification process. 

A wide range of analytical techniques are today available for identifying and characterizing materials (Hancock 2000). Some, known as qualitative techniques, are designed to provide information only on the nature of the components of materials, that is, which components, elements, and/or compounds, make up a material (Masterton and Slowinski 1986). Most often, however, it is also essential to disclose precisely how much of each particular component there is in a material, and thus to reveal its exact composition. Such information is derived using quantitative techniques (Harris 2002 Jeffery et al. 1989). 

Next, various quantitative techniques were used to estimate releases by type of use. For use of benzene as an intermediate, we relied on the "emission factor" technique, which estimates the ratio of benzene release to total derivative production and then applies this ratio to the production rate at specific locations. Emissions factors were estimated from crude engineering assessments of the chemical processes entailed (such as open versus closed systems, continuous versus batch, and so on).

Most chemists tend to think of infrared (IR) spectroscopy as the only form of vibrational analysis for a molecular entity. In this framework, IR is typically used as an identification assay for various intermediates and final bulk drug products, and also as a quantitative technique for solution-phase studies. Full vibrational analysis of a molecule must also include Raman spectroscopy. Although IR and Raman spectroscopy are complementary techniques, widespread use of the Raman technique in pharmaceutical investigations has been limited. Before the advent of Fourier transform techniques and lasers, experimental difficulties limited the use of Raman spectroscopy. Over the last 20 years a renaissance of the Raman technique has been seen, however, due mainly to instrumentation development. 

Since DSC is a quantitative technique, the enthalpies determined for reactions can be used for analytical purposes. For instance, a method has been described whereby the water content in hydrate species can be determined using DSC techniques [35]. In this method, it was assumed that the enthalpy of binding n moles of water molecules in a hydrate is the same as that of n moles of water... 

The effectiveness of alkali flooding, and, in fact, most reservoir treatments, varies widely from formation to formation in a manner that is often difficult to predict. Quantitative techniques have been applied to model the migration and consumption of alkali as it moves through a reservoir (e.g., Bunge and Radke, 1982 Zabala et al., 1982 Dria et al., 1988). There have been fewer attempts, however, to predict the specific chemical reactions that might occur in a reservoir or the effects of the initial mineralogy of the reservoir and the composition of the flood on those reactions (Bethke et al., 1992).
