New developments in spectroscopic techniques for process control are, in general, driven by shortcomings of existing technology, for example, when sensitivity, selectivity, robustness, and so forth do not meet the demands. The perfect process analytical method would be based on a robust and easy to handle customized technique operating in real time, come without any need for calibration, that is, be an absolute method, have a professional support, and be compliant to increasing regulatory requirements. However, there are at least trends toward such an all-in-one device suitable for every purpose.
Small, low-field NMR systems equipped with permanent magnet technology have been developed and allow for quantitative analysis as on-line instruments in a production environment. Quantitative high-resolution on-line NMR spectroscopy contributes to process understanding in pilot plant and research environments.
Laser spectroscopy is a promising field in process analysis owing to its sensitivity and selectivity. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy LIBS is a promising field for direct in situ analysis and remote sensing. Applications of quantum-cascade lasers for process analytical applications are a promising technique. Techniques such as cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS), tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), and photothermal techniques are briefly introduced.
Recent developments of new detectors have improved X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) for qualitative and quantitative on-line evaluation of the elementary composition of liquid or solid samples, regardless of whether compact or bulk material.
The chapter also introduces miscellaneous techniques such as ion mobility spectroscopy (IMS), microwave and dielectric spectroscopy, terahertz spectroscopy, ultrasonic acoustic spectroscopy, and other methods.
Dieser Bericht beschreibt die Zertifizierung einer synthetischen Isotopenmischung aus natürlicher und angereicherter Borsäure. Dieses Isotopen-ZRM liegt als konzentrierte, wässerige Borsäure-Lösung vor und ist bezüglich ihrer Isotopenzusammensetzung zertifiziert. Der Bor-Gesamtgehalt ist als Richtwert angegeben. Die Unsicherheiten sind erweiterte Messunsicherheiten mit k=2. Sie sind in Klammern angegeben und beziehen sich auf die letzten beiden Stellen. Das vorliegende Isotopen-ZRM ist bezüglich der Isotopenzusammensetzung mit erweiterten relativen Messunsicherheiten kleiner 0,08% zertifiziert. Die absolute, kombinierte Standardmessunsicherheit des prozentualen Stoffmengenanteils der Isotope (Isotopenhäufigkeit) liegt bei 0,014. In diesem Zertifizierungsbericht wird nur auf die Kapitel eingegangen, die abweichend vom bestehenden Zertifizierungsreport für die Referenzmaterialien BAM I001 bis BAM I003 sind und Einfluss auf die Endergebnisse haben. Dabei handelt es sich um die Kapitel 3.3, 3.4, 4, 6, 7 und 8, Die Kapitel 1, 2, 3, 3.1, 3.2, 5, 9 und 10 des alten Zertifizierungsberichts für die Referenzmaterialien BAM I001 bis BAM I003 behalten unverändert ihre Gültigkeit und sind nicht noch einmal aufgeführt worden.
The present paper describes the contribution of the Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements to the certification of B, Cd, Mg, Pb, Rb, Sr, and U amount contents in a natural water sample, in round 9 of the International Measurement Evaluation Programme (IMEP-9). The analytical procedure to establish the reference values for B, Cd, Mg, Pb, Rb, Sr, and U amount contents was based on isotope dilution inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry used as a primary method of measurement. Applying this procedure reference values, traceable to the SI, were obtained for the natural water sample of IMEP-9. For each of the certified amount contents presented here a total uncertainty budget was calculated using the method of propagation of uncertainties according to ISO and EURACHEM guidelines. The measurement procedures, as well as the uncertainty calculations are described for all seven elements mentioned above. In order to keep the whole certification process transparent and so traceable, the preparations of various reagents and materials as well as the sample treatment and blending, the measurements themselves, and finally the data treatment are described in detail. Explanations focus on Pb as a representative example. The total uncertainties (relative) obtained were less than 2% for all investigated elements at amount contents in the pmol/kg up to the high 7mol/kg range, corresponding to low 7g/kg and mg/kg levels.
The present work describes the development of an existing TIMS procedure to a reference procedure for low sulfur concentration measurements in fossil fuels. With this enhanced procedure SI-traceable sulfur mass fractions below 10 mg kg-1 can be obtained. The achieved detection limit is approximately 0.2 mg kg-1. The procedure was validated by certified reference materials. The procedure was already applied to candidate reference materials and to samples analysed within projects of the Comité Consultatif pour la Quantité de Matière CCQM.
Additionally the influence of the isotopic composition on the results and its corresponding uncertainty was studied. Reference data published in the literature on the isotopic composition of sulfur were assessed.
This study uses conventional 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd isotope and interelement ratios of Ca, Sr, K, Mn, Mg and Ti as fingerprints for provenancing ordinary Portland cements (OPC). Herein, the first database of Sr and Nd isotope ratios investigated in OPCs, stemming from 29 cement plants located worldwide, was created. The results show that the Sr isotope ratios of OPCs are higher than those of seawater from the observed geological period. The spread of 143Nd/144Nd in OPCs is not as large as the spread for 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios. However, the combination of both Sr and Nd isotope ratios provides the potential for distinguishing between cements of different production sites. Most of the OPCs investigated have measurable differences in their 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd isotope ratios, which can be employed as a valuable analytical fingerprinting tool. In the case of equivocal results, divisive hierarchical clustering was employed to help overcome this issue. The construction of geochemical profiles allowed the computing of suitably defined distances between cements and clustering them according to their chemical similarity. By applying this methodology, successful fingerprinting was achieved in 27 out of the 29 ordinary Portland cements that were analysed.
Around 2.5 million tons of municipal sewage sludge (dry matter) are produced in Ger-many every year. The disposal or recycling of this mass often confronts plant operators with considerable problems. In addition to organic substances, sewage sludges also contain important inorganic nutrients that can be recycled. Due to the finite nature of phosphorus as a resource and in favor of natural material cycles, it makes sense to utilize the phosphorus bound in sewage sludge. Therefore, Phosphorus recycling from sewage sludge will be obligatory in Germany from 2029. However, the pollutants pre-sent in sewage sludge, such as heavy metals and organic trace pollutants, are prob-lematic. In many cases, the sewage sludge is incinerated, removing organic compo-nents, and leaving a mineral residue. Various processes exist for the reprocessing of sewage sludge ashes. Reliable analytics and process monitoring are required for all of them.
In this context, the first and most important task of BAM regarding new materials or processes is safety in technology and chemistry through validated and correct analyt-ics. Since there are no reference materials for sewage sludge ashes so far, it is not possible to make any statements about the extent to which the measured values of the comparative measuring methods are correct at all. Therefore, suitable, and representa-tive reference materials are indispensable for the validation of the measurement results and the quality assurance during the entire recycling process. Great care is required to select and prepare these reference materials. The reference materials must corre-spond in matrix to the samples that are to be investigated in the industrial process. An iron-rich and an aluminum-rich sewage sludge ash from mono-incineration plants were selected for this purpose. 10 kg of each sewage sludge ash were homogenized, char-acterized, and prepared. The main, minor and trace element compositions of the sew-age sludge ashes are determined by different measuring methods. The candidate ref-erence materials will be available as BAM-U200 und BAM-U201.
The present paper describes the certification of the amount content of Cd, Cr and Pb in two different polyethylene materials within the third phase of the Polyethylene Elemental Reference Material (PERM) project. The analytical procedure to establish the reference values for Cd, Cr and Pb amount contents in these materials is based on isotope dilution mass spectrometry used as a primary method of measurement. Cd and Pb were measured with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry and Cr with positive thermal ionization-mass spectrometry. The decomposition of the polymer matrix was carried out using a high pressure asher. Reference values for amount content, traceable to the SI-system, have been obtained for these three elements in both of the polyethylene samples of PERM. For each of the certified amount content values an uncertainty budget was calculated using the method of propagation of uncertainties according to ISO and EURACHEM guidelines. The measurement procedures, as well as the uncertainty calculations, are described for all three elements. In order to keep the whole certification process as transparent as possible, the preparations of various reagents and materials as well as the sample treatment and blending are described in detail. The mass spectrometry measurements and the data treatment are also explained carefully. The various sources of uncertainty present in the procedure are displayed in the uncertainty budgets. The obtained combined uncertainties for the amount content values were less than 2% relative (k=1) for all investigated elements. The amount contents were in the ?mol/kg range, corresponding to mg/kg levels.
Methodenvalidierung

Twelve different samples were analyzed for their water content by the classical oven-drying method and a commercial moisture analyzer. Nominal values have been set by Karl Fischer titration and gravimetry. The decomposition during the drying process of samples containing organic compounds was checked by thermogravimetry coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectrometric and mass spectrometric detection. Summarizing all measurement results, the commercial moisture analyzer demonstrated an average bias for the determination of water contents, which is much smaller than the stated uncertainty and thus is negligible. Compared to the classical oven-drying method, the commercial moisture analyzer shows a smaller bias, more ease in handling and less time consumption per analysis. When validated by a reference procedure like Karl Fischer titration the commercial moisture analyzer is the method of choice for routine analysis.
