Die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Chemischen und Pharmazeutischen Industrie basiert auf der Sicherung der geforderten Produktqualität bei einer optimalen Nutzung von Anlagen, Rohstoffen und Energie [1]. Eine gute Prozessführung unter Einsatz zuverlässiger Prozessanalytik sichert hier den globalen Wettbewerbsvorteil gegenüber Niedriglohnländern, die mit weniger effizienten Verfahren produzieren. Prozessanalytik trägt zur Erhöhung der Prozess- und Anlagensicherheit bei. In Kombination mit geeigneten Informationsmanagementsystemen verbessert dieser Ansatz ständig das Wissen über den Prozess und führt damit zu einer präventiven Sicherstellung der geforderten Qualität.
Eine gleich bleibend effektive Nutzung von Anlagen, Rohstoffen und Energie in Verbindung mit der optimalen Prozessführung sind die wichtigsten Voraussetzungen für globale Wettbewerbsvorteile der Prozessindustrie.
Unternehmen aus den Bereichen Chemie, Pharmazie, Petrochemie, Gasverarbeitung, Lebensmittel-, Zellstoff-, Papier-, Glas-, Stahl- und Zementherstellung sowie ihren Zulieferern haben den Einsatz zuverlässiger Prozessautomation für eine gute Prozessführung erkannt. Überlegene Verfahren stützen sich zunehmend auf prozessanalytische Messtechnik zur Kontrolle und präventiven Sicherstellung der geforderten Produktqualität. Gleichzeitig ermöglicht sie eine ständige Verbesserung des Wissens über den Prozess und erhöhen die Prozess- und Anlagensicherheit.
The design of sample flow cells, commonly used in on-line analytics and especially for medium resolution NMR spectroscopy (MR-NMR) in low magnetic fields, was experimentally and theoretically investigated by 1H NMR and numerical simulations. The flow pattern was characterised to gain information about the residence time distribution and mixing effects. Both 1H NMR imaging and spectroscopy were used to determine the characteristics of flow cells and their significance for on-line measurements such as reaction monitoring or hyphenated separation spectroscopy. The volume flow rates investigated were in the range from 0.1 to 10 ml/min, typically applied in the above mentioned applications. The special characteristics of flow cells for MR-NMR were revealed by various NMR experiments and compared with CFD simulations and to flow cells commonly used in high-field NMR. The influence of the design of the inlet and outlet on the flow pattern was investigated as well as the effect of the length of the cell. For practical use, a numerical estimation of the inflow length was given. In addition, it was shown how experiments on the polarisation build-up revealed insight into the flow characteristics in MR-NMR.
Medium resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (MR-NMR) spectroscopy is currently a fast developing field, which has an enormous potential to become an important analytical tool for reaction monitoring, in hyphenated techniques, and for systematic investigations of complex mixtures. The recent developments of innovative MR-NMR spectrometers are therefore remarkable due to their possible applications in quality control, education, and process monitoring. MR-NMR spectroscopy can beneficially be applied for fast, non-invasive, and volume integrating analyses under rough environmental conditions.
Within this study, a simple 1/16'' fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) tube with an ID of 0.04'' (1.02 mm) was used as a flow cell in combination with a 5 mm glass Dewar tube inserted into a benchtop MR-NMR spectrometer with a 1H Larmor frequency of 43.32 MHz and 40.68 MHz for 19F. For the first time, quasi-simultaneous proton and fluorine NMR spectra were recorded with a series of alternating 19F and 1H single scan spectra along the reaction time coordinate of a homogeneously catalysed esterification model reaction containing fluorinated compounds. The results were compared to quantitative NMR spectra from a hyphenated 500 MHz online NMR instrument for validation. Automation of handling, pre-processing, and analysis of NMR data becomes increasingly important for process monitoring applications of online NMR spectroscopy and for its technical and practical acceptance. Thus, NMR spectra were automatically baseline corrected and phased using the minimum entropy method. Data analysis schemes were designed such that they are based on simple direct integration or first principle line fitting, with the aim that the analysis directly revealed molar concentrations from the spectra.
Finally, the performance of 1/16'' FEP tube set-up with an ID of 1.02 mm was characterised regarding the limit of detection (LOQ (1H) = 0.335 mol L-1 and LOQ (19F) = 0.130 mol L-1 for trifluoroethanol in D2O (single scan)) and maximum quantitative flow rates up to 0.3 mL min-1. Thus, a series of single scan 19F and 1H NMR spectra acquired with this simple set-up already presents a valuable basis for quantitative reaction monitoring.
