Residual water content, monitoring

IR studies showed that each band of the VCO doublet characteristic of the Rh(I) gem dicarbonyl was split into two components. Recent experiments (14) showed that the presence of residual water in variable contents-significantly altered the intensity ratio of the two components of each of the two bands. Only the low frequency components appeared in the case of the strictly anhydrous zeolite. As the residual water content increased (as monitored by the vOH absorptions at 3640 and 3550 cm- ), the high frequency components grew simultaneously. 

After freezing the product, most of the solvent is removed by sublimation during the primary drying. In this stage it is necessary to monitor product temperature and the residual water content in such a manner that the control system can both optimize... 

As highlighted in the previous sections about monitoring and control of a vial freeze-drying process, one of the most important issues that has to be taken into account for product quaUly monitoring is batch heterogeneity during the process both product temperature and residual water content in the various vials are not uniform, there exists a wide (or narrow) distribution around a mean value for both variables. 

NIR can be used in the feed preparation step to monitor the purity of incoming materials and to test for water content of raw materials. In the addition reaction step, the disappearance of the double bonds can be monitored using NIR. Terminal double bonds have a combination band at about 2110 nm and a first overtone band at 1620 nm. In the recovery phase, the residual solvent can be determined by NIR. 

Thus the application of the conceptual model to monitoring data shows an existence of the ecological risk of river waters entering in the Caspian Sea. This is connected with (a) loss or leaching of DDT and HCH residues with relatively low transformation from LPA, (b) possible secondary risk of water contamination by POCs desorbed from bottom sediments, and (c) POCs content in aquatic ecosystems at toxic concentrations for the most sensitive organisms. 

B. Diethyl [(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)methyl]phosphonate. A mixture of 33.63 g (0.2 mol) of diethyl hydroxymethylphosphonate, 21 g (0.25 mol) of dihydropyran, and 150 mL of diethyl ether 1s placed in a stoppered flask, and 20 drops of phosphorus oxychloride is added while the contents are swirled manually. After 3 hr at room temperature the reaction is monitored by TLC (Note 5). The mixture is diluted with diethyl ether, transferred into a separatory funnel, and shaken successively with 100 mL of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, 100 mL of water, and 100 mL of saturated sodium chloride solution. The ether solution is dried over MgSO, filtered, and the ether is removed with a rotary evaporator. Kugelrohr distillation of the residue (110°C, 0.05 rmi) gives 42.4-46.9 g (84-9316) of material of sufficient purity for use in homologation reactions (Notes 6 and 7). 

Residual moisture is the low level of water, usually in the range of less than 1-3% (wt/wt), remaining in a freeze-dried product after the freeze-drying (vacuum sublimation) process [1-5] is complete. Nail [6] has described in-process methods to monitor the endpoint of freeze-drying using residual gas analysis, pressure rise, comparative pressure measurement, and product temperature measurement. Roy and Pikal [7] used an electronic moisture sensor inside the lyophilization chamber. Residual moisture [8] content is important in the final freeze-dried product because it affects the potency of the product, its long-term stability, and the official shelf life of the product. 

Sample preparation 3 mL Plasma 30 p,L 10 p,g/mL triazolam in water, mix 1 min, allow to stand for 15 min at room temperature, add to 3 mL Extrelut SPE cartridge and allow to soak in for 10 min, elute with 20 mL dichloromethane. Evaporate eluant at 30° under reduced pressure, take up residue in 1 mL MeCN water 5 95, stand for 15 min, centrifuge at 14000 g for 2 min, remove supernatant. Iiyect a 250 p,L aliquot of the supernatant onto column A with mobile phase A and elute to waste. After 7 min forward flush the contents of column A onto column B with mobile phase B. After 0.47 min remove column A from the circuit and elute column B with mobile phase B, monitor the effluent from column B. When not in use, flush column A with mobile phase A. Between iiyections clean column A with two injections of 250 p.L MeCN.
