A1 - Maiwald, Michael T1 - Industrial Applications of benchtop NMR Spectroscopy for Quality Control of Silanes N2 - The combination of different silanes as starting materials and as a product of hydrolysis by several alcohols or water creates a range of hundreds of technical products for a wide range of applications. In recent years, functional trialkoxysilanes have proven to be multi-purpose organosilanes. Applications range from weather protection of buildings to additives for glass fiber industry, sealants, adhesives, coatings and paints to the modification of polymers. Commercial benchtop NMR spectrometers have the potential to be used in silane chemistry as an online method for reaction monitoring and quality control. NMR nuclei of interest for silane products are 1H and 29Si. In a joint research cooperation between EVONIK and BAM, the applicability of low-field NMR spectroscopy for the chemical analysis of silanes was evaluated. It was shown how it can extend the application range where existing technologies like NIR, Raman, UV/VIS, etc. cannot be used quantitatively due to a lack of reference data. In a first case study the process of hydrolysis and condensation was observed using online NMR analysis. For this purpose, the substituents of a trialkoxysilane are first hydrolyzed by adding water and corresponding silanols are formed, which can then bind to materials via SiOH functions and crosslink to form siloxane units. Another case study was dealing with the kinetics of the cleavage of a cyclic silane compound. Online NMR analysis was used both in the laboratory and in the manufacturing plant. For this purpose, a fully automated containment system was used, which enables the use of a commercial NMR spectrometer in ATEX-environments. In the third case study presented, quantitative 1H-NMR spectra were acquired on product mixtures of a trialkoxysilane and other components such as organic stabilizers, organotin compounds, an aromatic amine and organic peroxides. An automatic evaluation method based on Indirect Hard Modeling (IHM) was developed.

The major advantage of quantitative NMR spectroscopy (qNMR) is that it is a direct ratio method of analysis without the need of calibration. This means that the signal for a specific NMR-active nucleus (e.g., a proton) in an analyte can be compared and quantified by reference to a different nucleus of a separate compound, comparable to a counting of spins in the active volume of the spectrometer. A special application of qNMR in technical mixtures is the observation in the gas phase, which is rarely applied compared to liquid and solid NMR studies. Because of the low density it results in a reduced sensitivity, which can be improved by applying pressure. Therefore a high-pressure NMR setup was developed based on a commercially available NMR tube made of zirconia. This is currently tested up to 20 MPa, but can be extended up to 100 MPa with regard to pressure rating of its components. This work shows results of gas-phase application on natural-gas like reference gas mixtures produced at BAM, as well as investigations on liquefied petroleum gas mixtures (LPG) with high accuracy provided in constant-pressure piston cylinders.

A1 - Maiwald, Michael T1 - Benchtop-NMR-Spektroskopie – Praktische Probleme in Labor- und Prozessanwendungen N2 - In den letzten Jahren erfreut sich die Benchtop-NMR-Spektroskopie steigender Beliebtheit. Zusätzlich zu Anwendungen im Labor werden die kompakten Geräte auch zunehmend in industriellen Bereichen eingesetzt. Neben geringeren Investitions- und Betriebskosten sind insbesondere die Robustheit und einfache Bedienbarkeit dieser Systeme entscheidende Faktoren. Ein prozessnaher Einsatz kann sowohl nach Probenahme im Rahmen der Betriebsanalytik erfolgen als auch als Online-Analytik mit direkter Ankopplung an Prozesse. Insbesondere bei der direkten Kopplung mittels Durchflusszellen spielt der Probentransfer eine entscheidende Rolle. Dies zeigt sich auch am Beispiel eines Extraktionsprozesses im Labormaßstab. Das in einem Bioprozess aus tierischen Altfetten hergestellte Copolymer PHB(Co-HHX) wurde in einem Batch-Prozess mit organischen Lösungsmitteln aus gefrier-getrockneten Zellen extrahiert. Unter Variation der Parameter wurde der Prozess direkt in der mehrphasigen Suspension mittels Benchtop-NMR-Spektroskopie verfolgt. Eine große Limitierung für den Einsatz als Online-Methode ist die Temperaturempfindlichkeit der Magnetsysteme. Während die Umgebungstemperatur gut kontrollierbar ist, stellt sich die Thematik der Probentemperatur komplexer dar. Bei größeren Abweichungen von der Magnettemperatur kommt es bereits nach kurzer Zeit zu Drift-Effekten, die die Lock-Systeme nur begrenzt kompensieren können. Ein Ansatz ist die Nutzung temperierter Luftströme, ähnlich bekannter VT-Einheiten ergänzt um eine aktive Isolierung zum Magneten. An einem Modellaufbau wurden dazu verschiedene Konstruktionen zunächst mittels Thermographie charakterisiert und anschließend die Anwendbarkeit in einem Prototyp-Gerät überprüft. In der rauen industriellen Umgebung von Produktionsanlagen sind weitere Maßnahmen zum Betrieb eines Laborgerätes nötig (z.B. Temperierung, Witterungsschutz). Zusätzlich bestehen häufig strikte Anforderungen an den Explosionsschutz. Zu diesem Zweck wurde gemeinsam mit der Evonik Rheinfelden eine Einhausung entwickelt, die es ermöglicht neben der NMR-Spektroskopie auch eine weitere analytische Methode möglichst flexibel direkt an großtechnische Anlagen anzubinden.

A1 - Maiwald, Michael T1 - Benchtop NMR spectroscopy in chemical manufacturing: From hardware field integration to data modeling N2 - The use of benchtop-NMR instruments is constantly increasing during the recent years. Advantages of being affordable, portable and easy-to-operate without the need for trained staff make them especially interesting for industrial applications in quality control. However, applications of NMR spectroscopy as an online PAT tool are still very rare but offer a huge potential for process optimization and control. A key task to exploit this potential is hardware field integration of the lab-instruments in a rough environment of a chemical plant. Additionally, developments in automation and data evaluation are mandatory to ensure a robust unattended operation with low maintenance requirements. Here, we show an approach of a fully automated analyzer enclosure considering explosion safety, field communication, as well as environmental conditions in the field. Temperature sensitivity is still a limitation of benchtop-NMR instruments in flow applications. Recent developments of manufacturers allow for limited operation at static temperature levels, however, a dynamic system for continuous operation is still not available. Using a prototype system offering a larger bore, active temperature shielding studies with thermostated air were performed evaluating the performance. Automated data evaluation of NMR spectra using a modular indirect hard modeling (IHM) approach showed good results and flexibility. A second data analysis approach based on artificial neural networks (ANN) was evaluated.Therefore, amount of data was augmented to be sufficient for training. The results show comparable performance, while improving the calculation time tremendously, offering new ways to simultaneously evaluating large numbers of different models.

General quality documents are often already in place, which need to be extended by method-specific documentation. In this presentation we like to show an idea of a modular set of standard operating procedures (SOP) specifically developed meeting the requirements for quantitative NMR. The future goal is to collaborate with different accreditated NMR laboratories to compile a universal set of SOP and other quality documents that can be modified and used as a starting point for developing your own quality system for applications of qNMR in a regulated environment.
