Data set of low-field NMR spectra of continuous synthesis of nitro-4’-methyldiphenylamine (MNDPA). 1H spectra (43 MHz) were recorded as single scans.
Two different approaches for the generation of artificial neural networks training data for the prediction of reactant concentrations were used: (i) Training data based on combinations of measured pure component spectra and (ii) Training data based on a spectral model.

Experimental low-field NMR spectra from MNDPA-Synthesis
This data set represents low-field NMR-spectra recorded during continuous synthesis of nitro-4’-methyldiphenylamine (MNDPA). Reference values from high-field NMR results are included.
Monitoring chemical reactions is the key to chemical process control. Today, mainly optical online methods are applied, which require excessive calibration effort. NMR spectroscopy has a high potential for direct loop process control while exhibiting short set-up times. Compact NMR instruments make NMR spectroscopy accessible in industrial and harsh environments for advanced process Monitoring and control, as demonstrated within the European Union’s Horizon 2020 project CONSENS.
We present a range of approaches for the automated spectra analysis moving from conventional multivariate statistical approach, (i.e., Partial Least Squares Regression) to physically motivated spectral models (i.e., Indirect Hard Modelling and Quantum Mechanical calculations). By using the benefits of traditional qNMR experiments data analysis models can meet the demands of the PAT community (Process Analytical Technology) regarding low calibration effort/calibration free methods, fast adaptions for new reactants or derivatives and robust automation schemes.

chemical plants can produce different products using the same equipment with short
down-times between campaigns and quick introduction of new products to the
market. In continuous flow processes online sensor data and tight closed-loop control
of the product quality are mandatory. If these are not available, there is a huge risk of
producing large amounts of out-of-spec (OOS) products. This is addressed in the
European Unionʼs Research Project CONSENS (Integrated Control and Sensing)
by development and integration of smart sensor modules for process monitoring and
control within such modular plant setups.
The presented NMR module is provided in an explosion proof housing of 57 x 57 x
85 cm module size and involves a compact 43.5 MHz NMR spectrometer together
with an acquisition unit and a programmable logic controller for automated data
preparation (phasing, baseline correction) and evaluation. Indirect Hard Modeling
(IHM) was selected for data analysis of the low-field NMR spectra. A set-up for
monitoring continuous reactions in a thermostated 1/8” tubular reactor using
automated syringe pumps was used to validate the IHM models by using high-field
NMR spectroscopy as analytical reference method.
Validation report on NMR
(2017)
The departure from the current automation landscape to next generation automation concepts for the process industry has already begun. Smart functions of sensors simplify their use and enable plug and play integration, even though they may appear to be more complex at first sight. Smart sensors enable concepts like self-diagnostics, self-calibration, and self-configuration/ parameterization whenever our current automation landscape allows it.
Here we summarize the currently discussed general requirements for process sensors 4.0 and introduce a smart online NMR sensor module as example, which was developed for an intensified industrial process funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (www.consensspire.eu).
Online monitoring and process control requires fast and noninvasive analytical methods, which are able to monitor the concentration of reactants in multicomponent mixtures with parts-per-million resolution. Online NMR spectros-copy can meet these demands when flow probes are directly coupled to reactors, since this method features a high linearity between absolute signal area and sample concentration, which makes it an absolute analytical com-parison method being independent on the matrix. Due to improved magnet design and field shimming strategies portable and robust instruments have been introduced to the market by several manufacturers during the last few years. First studies with this technology showed promising results to monitor chemical reaction in the laboratory.
Ugly spectra and lousy interfaces – challenges for compact NMR spectroscopy in process control
(2016)
With the introduction of advanced process analytical technology, the closeness of key process variables to their limits can be directly controlled and the product can be classified or even released in real time.
Compact NMR instruments can make NMR spectroscopy accessible in industrial and harsh environments for process control.
Compact nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) instruments make NMR spectroscopy and relaxometry accessible in industrial and harsh environments for reaction characterization and process control. Robust field integration of NMR systems have to face explosion protection or integration into process control systems with short set-up times. This paves the way for industrial automation in real process environments.
The design of failsafe, temperature and pressure resistant flow through cells along with their NMR-specific requirements is an essential cornerstone to enter industrial production plants and fulfill explosion safety requirements. Additionally, if fast reactions are monitored, suitable mixing devices need to be placed in close vicinity to the measuring volume to mix the reactants properly.
NMR-specific requirements aim at full quantitative pre-magnetization and acquisition with maximum sensitivity while reducing sample transfer times and dwell-times. All parameters are individually dependent on the applied NMR instrument.
Luckily, an increasing number of applications are reported together with an increasing variety of commercial equipment. However, these contributions have to be reviewed thoroughly.
The performance of sample flow cells commonly used in online analytics and especially for low-field NMR spectroscopy was experimentally and theoretically investigated by 1H-NMR experiments and numerical simulations. Especially, the applicability of 3D printed zirconium dioxide for innovative flow cell designs was of interest. Here, we demonstrate and discuss an automated test method to determine the critical parameters of flow through cells for quantitative online NMR spectroscopy. The setup is based on randomized setpoints of flow rates in order to reduce temperature related effects. Five flow cells and tubing were assessed and compared for high-field as well as low-field NMR spectrometers.

For reaction monitoring and process control using NMR instruments, in particular, after acquisition of the FID the data needs to be corrected in real-time for common effects using fast interfaces and automated methods. When it comes to NMR data evaluation under industrial process conditions, the shape of signals can change drastically due to nonlinear effects. Additionally, the multiplet structure becomes more dominant because of the comparably low-field strengths which results in overlapping of multiple signals. However, the structural and quantitative information is still present but needs to be extracted by applying predictive models.

Die Geräteentwicklungen im Bereich der Niederfeld-NMR-Spektroskopie im vergangenen Jahrzehnt ermöglichen den Einsatz kompakter, portabler Magnete mit geringen Streufeldern in Laborumgebungen und industriellen Produktionsanlagen. Somit werden neue Möglichkeiten für hochauflösende NMR-Experimente zur Reaktionsüberwachung eröffnet. Im Rahmen des EU-Projekts CONSENS wurden die Möglichkeiten dieser Methode umfassend anhand einer technisch bedeutenden Reaktion (elektrophile aromatische Substitutionsreaktionen) evaluiert.
Um die Flexibilität einer kontinuierlichen und modularen Pilotanlage durch Echtzeit- Qualitätskontrolle zu fördern, wurde ein vollständig automatisiertes Online- NMR-Modul entwickelt. Der Einsatz eines kommerziellen Niederfeld-NMR-Geräts im industriellen Umfeld wurde durch die entwickelten Lösungen der automatisierten Datenanlyse sowie durch ein zertifiziertes Sicherheitskonzept für den Betrieb in explosionsgefährdeten Zonen ermöglicht. Neben der Überwachung der Produktqualität wurden Online-NMR-Daten in einem neuen iterativen Optimierungsansatz zur Maximierung des Anlagenertrags eingesetzt und dienten als zuverlässige Referenz für die Kalibrierung eines Nahinfrarot-Spektrometers.
Für die Entwicklung einer robusten Datenauswertung der NMR-Spektren, die dem Anspruch der Flexibilität bei Produktwechseln genügt, wurden zunächst Versuche im Labormaßstab durchgeführt, um eine Datenbasis zu schaffen. In diesen Versuchen wurden die aromatischen Amine Anilin, p-Toluidin und p-Fluoranilin mit o-Fluornitrobenzol gekoppelt. Durch Zugabe einer Organolithium-Verbindung (Li- HMDS) findet ein Protonenaustausch zwischen dem primären Amin und Li-HMDS statt. Dies führt zu einer hohen Reaktionsenthalpie und instabilen Aryllithium-Verbindungen. Die Reaktionen wurden hinsichtlich anfallender Zwischenprodukte mittels Hochfeld-NMR-Spektroskopie analysiert.
Nachfolgend wurden die Reaktionen sowohl im Semi-Batch-Verfahren als auch im kontinuierlichen Laborbetrieb mit Online-Niederfeld-NMR-Spektroskopie und Online- Hochfeld-NMR-Spektroskopie untersucht. Da die gemessenen NMR-Spektren besonders im aromatischen Spektralbereich hohe Signalüberlappungen der Reaktanden aufweisen, wurden chemometrische Modelle entwickelt und anhand der Hochfeld-NMR-Methode validiert. Die verwendeten Durchflusszellen für die Niederfeld-NMR-Spektroskopie wurden hinsichtlich ihrer Anwendbarkeit für quantitative Messungen im kontinuierlichen Durchfluss untersucht. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass Messungen mit einer additiv gefertigten Keramikdurchflusszelle prinzipiell möglich sind.
