Process Analytical Chemistry

Process analytical chemistry (PAC) can be defined as the technology of obtaining quantitative and qualitative information about a chemical process in order to control or optimize its performance. This practical book provides an up-to-date introduction to the field with a special emphasis placed on industrial processes. This state-of-the-art introduction to the subject should serve as reading for a broad range of scientists and engineers educated in the physical sciences, including analytical chemists, production managers, chemical engineers, process development chemists, control and electrical engineers, and project/design engineers. Students and lecturers in the academic and research community should find the book useful as a source of reference.
