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.
Introduction
NMR spectroscopy is one of the most important analytical methods in organic chemistry. While most analyses are carried out qualitatively with the aim of substance identification and structure elucidation, quantitative NMR spectroscopy (qNMR) is increasingly gaining importance in research and industry. qNMR provides the most universally applicable form of direct purity determination without need for reference materials of impurities or the calculation of response factors but only exhibiting suitable NMR properties.
Methods
One of the most attractive features of quantitative NMR spectroscopy is that the NMR peak areas can be used directly for concentration quantification without further calibration. Another advantage of NMR spectroscopy is that the method has a high linearity between absolute signal area and sample concentration, which makes it an absolute analytical comparison method that is independent of the matrix. This enables automated robust data evaluation strategies that can be used for online applications of qNMR spectroscopy.
Jancke et al. proposed NMR spectroscopy as a relative primary analytical method because it can be fully described by mathematical equations from which a complete uncertainty budget can be derived, allowing it to be used at the highest metrological level. Weber et al. discussed in detail important aspects of the procedure that enable the realisation of low measurement uncertainties in qNMR measurements. Since certification of CRM requires expanded mea¬sure¬ment uncertainties of less than 0.5 % (relative), the work of Weber et al. demonstrated for the first time that qNMR can fulfil this criterion.
Results
To date, further comparative studies have been carried out in metrology and industry, demonstrating the performance of quantitative NMR spectroscopy and further reducing measurement uncertainties. The development of validation concepts and the commercial availability of suitable certified reference materials facilitate the application, especially in the usually highly regulated industrial environment. Users can thus accelerate the development of analytical methods. The talk will cover a wide range of topics from current metrological activities to new challenges for qNMR spectroscopy and also deals with aspects such as validation and accreditation.
Innovative aspects
• qNMR provides the most universally applicable form of direct purity determination
• Expanded measurement uncertainties lower than 0.15 % (relative) possible
• Benchtop NMR instruments increasingly used for qNMR spectroscopy
Die NMR-Spektroskopie ist eine der zentralen nicht-invasiven Analysenmethoden in der organischen Chemie und aus dem Laboralltag nicht mehr wegzudenken. Die direkte Proportionalität zwischen der Anzahl der Atomkerne im Messvolumen und der Signalfläche im Spektrum ist vergleichbar mit einem „Zählen der Kernspins“. Der Kalibrieraufwand für die Quantifizierung ist minimal und aus dem NMR-Spektrum sind Informationen zu Struktur und Identität zugänglich.
Online-NMR-Spektroskopie wird unter Zuhilfenahme von speziellen Durchflussproben-köpfen und Messzellen bereits seit Jahrzehnten erforscht und eingesetzt. Durch die hohen Anforderungen an die Aufstellung und den Betrieb von klassischen Hochfeld-NMR-Spektrometern konnte sie allerdings nie den Sprung vom Labor in den Prozess schaffen. Dies hat sich durch die Entwicklungen im Bereich mobil einsetzbarer Benchtop-NMR-Spektrometer grundlegend verändert. Geringere Investitions- und Betriebskosten, sowie die Robustheit und einfache Bedienbarkeit dieser Systeme sind entscheidende Faktoren. Damit rückt eine Anwendung als Online-PAT-Methode technisch in greifbare Nähe. Designierte Prozess-NMR-Spektrometer sucht man heutzutage allerdings auf dem Markt meist noch vergebens.
Die Reaktionsverfolgung im Labormaßstab konnte an unterschiedlichen Systemen erfolgreich demonstriert werden. Dabei zeigten sich allerdings Limitierungen in Hinblick auf einen möglichen Prozesseinsatz. Insbesondere die Temperaturempfindlichkeit der Magnetsysteme ist hier zu nennen. Anhand eines Prototyps wurde eine aktive Temperaturisolation mittels temperierter Luftströmungen entwickelt und erprobt.
Eine Feldintegration von Laborsystemen geht sowohl technisch als auch regulatorisch mit zahlreichen Herausforderungen einher. Das raue Umfeld von Produktionsanlagen, sowie die Anforderungen an Explosionsschutz erfordern eine zugelassene Einhausung. Auf Basis von Erfahrungen mit einem ersten Prototyp erfolgte die gemeinsame Entwicklung eines möglichst flexibel einsetzbaren Analysenschranks. Neben der Hardware-Integration sind die automatisierte modellbasierte Auswertung der NMR-Spektren, sowie die Einbindung in die Prozessleittechnik essenziell für einen zuverlässigen Betrieb als PAT-Analysengerät.
Utilizing Aspergillus niger Fumonisin Amine Oxidase for the Electrochemical Detection of Fumonisin
(2023)
Fumonisins are a class of toxic secondary metabolites produced by various Fusarium species. The two most important producers of fumonisins are F. verticillioides and F. proliferatum but also Aspergillus niger is known to produce fumonisins. Most frequently they occur on maize, but also other grains can be contaminated with this group of mycotoxins. Exposure to fumonisins by dietary intake can have serious health effects on farm animals and also within humans. Thus, the European Commission sets legal limits for fumonisins in feed and foodstuffs. The detection of fumonisins is frequently performed in laboratories by chromatographic methods, which are costly and require trained personnel. Simplifying the analysis is therefore a major goal using portable detection systems. Electrochemical enzymatic biosensors offer great promise to meet this demand. Here we report for the first time an enzymatic fumonisin sensing approach with amperometric detection. For this purpose, an Aspergillus niger fumonisin amine oxidase (AnFAO) catalyzing the oxidative deamination of fumonisins, producing hydrogen peroxide, was recombinantly produced in E. coli. It was found that the specific activity of AnFAO using 20 μM Fumonisin B1 as substrate is higher than for 20 μM Fumonisin B2 with 0.122 U mg-1 and 0.058 U mg-1, respectively. It was possible to show a dependence of enzyme activity with enzyme – and substrate-concentration. For fumonisin B1 detection, the enzyme was coupled covalently to magnetic particles and the enzymatically produced H2O2 was detected amperometrically in a flow injection system using Prussian blue carbon electrodes. The developed method allows to quantify fumonisin B1 concentrations down to 1.5 µM and demonstrates that the recombinantly produced AnFAO was able to deaminate different concentrations of fumonisin even in immobilized form. Thus, this enzyme is well suited to develop an enzyme based electrochemical biosensor for fumonisin contaminated food and feed.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are chemicals which were developed to improve humanity’s quality of life. Due to their high chemical stability and resistance to degradation by heat or acids, PFAS were used in a variety of consumer products. The continuous use of PFAS in household products and the discharge of PFAS from industrial plants into the sewer system resulted in the contamination of effluents and sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) (Roesch et al. 2022). Since sewage sludge is often used as fertilizer, its application on agricultural soils has been observed as a significant entry path for PFAS into the environment, specifically in our food chain. In Germany the sewage sludge/biosolid application on agricultural land was banned with the amendment of the German Sewage Sludge Ordinance and by 2029 sewage sludge application will be totally prohibited. However, phosphorus (P) from sewage sludge should still be recycled in WWTPs of cities with a population larger than 50,000 residents. To produce high-quality P-fertilizers for a circular economy, PFAS and other pollutants (e.g. pesticides and pharmaceuticals) must be separated from sewage sludge. Due to the strong diversity of industrial PFAS usage it is not clear if a safe application of novel recycled P-fertilizers from WWTPs can be guaranteed. Therefore, we analyzed various sewage sludges and wastewater-based fertilizers. Sewage sludge (SL) samples from various WWTPs in Germany and Switzerland, six sewage sludge ashes (SSA) from Germany, six thermally treated SL and SSA samples with different additives (temperatures: 700-1050 °C), two pyrolyzed SL samples (temperature: 400 °C) and two struvite samples from Germany and Canada were analyzed. The goal was to quantify PFAS in sewage sludges and wastewater-based P-fertilizers with the sum parameter extractable organic fluorine (EOF) by combustion ion chromatography (CIC). The results were compared with data from classical LC-MS/MS target analysis as well as selected samples by HR-MS suspect screening. The EOF values of the SLs mainly range between 154 and 538 µg/kg except for one SL which showed an elevated EOF value of 7209 µg/kg due to high organofluorine contamination. For the SSA samples the EOF values were lower and values between LOQ (approx. 60 µg/kg) and 121 µg/kg could be detected. For the pyrolyzed SLs no EOF values above the LOQ were detected. Moreover, the two wastewater-based struvite fertilizers contain 96 and 112 µg/kg EOF, respectively. In contrast to the EOF values, the sum of PFAS target values were relatively low for all SLs. Additional applied PFAS HR-MS suspect screening aimed to tentatively identify PFAS that could contribute to the hitherto unknown part of the EOF value. The majority of the detected fluorinated compounds are legacy PFAS such as short- and long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCA), perfluorosulfonic acids (PFSA), polyfluoroalkyl phosphate esters (PAPs) and perfluorophosphonic acids (PFPA). Moreover, fluorinated pesticides, pharmaceutical as well as aromatic compounds were also identified, which are all included in the EOF parameter. Our research revealed that the current PFAS limit of 100 µg/kg for the sum of PFOS + PFOA in the German Fertilizer Ordinance is no longer up to date. Since the number of known PFAS already exceeds 10,000, the ordinance limit should be updated accordingly. Recent regulations and restrictions on using long-chain PFAS (≥C8) have resulted in a significant shift in the industry towards (ultra-)short-chain alternatives, and other, partly unknown, emerging PFAS. Ultimately, also fluorinated pesticides and pharmaceuticals, which end up as ultrashort PFAS in the WWTPs, have to be considered as possible pollutants in fertilizers from wastewater, too.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large group of organofluorine surfactants used in the formulations of thousands of consumer goods. The continuous use of PFAS in household products and the discharge of PFAS from industrial plants into the sewer system have been resulted in contaminated effluents and sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) which became an important pathway for PFAS into the environment. Because sewage sludge is often used as fertilizer its application on agricultural soils has been observed as significant input path for PFAS into our food chain. To produce high-quality phosphorus fertilizers for a circular economy from sewage sludge, PFAS and other pollutants (e.g. pesticides and pharmaceuticals) must be separated from sewage sludge. Normally, PFAS are analyzed using PFAS protocols typically with time-consuming extraction steps and LC-MS/MS target quantification. However, for screening of PFAS contaminations in wastewater-based fertilizers also the DGT technique can be used for the PFAS extraction. Afterwards, combustion ion chromatography (CIC) can be applied to analyze the “total” amount of PFAS on the DGT binding layer. The DGT method was less sensitive and only comparable to the extractable organic fluorine (EOF) method values of the fertilizers in samples with >150 µg/kg, because of different diffusion properties for various PFAS, but also kinetic exchange limitations. However, the DGT approach has the advantage that almost no sample preparation is necessary. Moreover, the PFAS adsorption on the DGT binding layer was investigated via surface sensitive spectroscopical methods, such as Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) and fluorine K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy.
What does GD-OES reveal about the aging and manufacturing processes of lithium-ion batteries?
(2024)
Glow-Discharge Optical Emission Spectroscopy (GD-OES), a powerful analytical technique, sheds light on the two critical aspects of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs): manufacturing and aging 1, 2. We optimized cell production in manufacturing by adjusting parameters, including cathode doping, electrolyte concentration, and pressing force. GD-OES provided in-depth elemental composition and homogeneity analysis, which is crucial for identifying optimal manufacturing conditions. These findings were validated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, confirming the quality of the manufactured batteries.
Shifting the focus to aging, we use GD-OES for fluorine depth profiling, a key element in understanding polymer and electrolyte degradation. However, fluorine presents analytical challenges. We addressed this by substituting argon with a neon:argon mixture, which significantly enhanced fluorine detection sensitivity. This advancement not only improves accuracy but also holds the potential to guide sustainable and cost-efficient manufacturing strategies.
Through its versatility, GD-OES has proven to be a powerful tool for not only optimizing LIB manufacturing processes but also gaining deeper insights into their aging mechanisms. This research extends beyond academic interest, offering tangible benefits for the industry by translating into improved battery quality, extended lifespan, and overall performance.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by furniture and building materials can cause health issues. For an improvement of indoor air quality low emitting materials should be used. Quality assurance and –control (QA/QC) measures require an emission reference material (ERM) with a predictable emission rate of VOCs. The idea is to use porous materials as ERM, which store the VOCs inside their pores and emit them constantly.

This course will provide an introduction to plasma diagnostic techniques. The major focus of the course will be on the discussions of the practical procedures as well as the underlying physical principles for the measurements of plasma fundamental characteristics (e.g., temperatures, thermodynamic properties, and electron number density). Particular emphasis will be placed on inductively coupled plasma–atomic emission spectrometry, but other analytical plasmas will also be used as examples when appropriate. Selected examples on how one can manipulate the operating conditions of the plasma source, based on the results of plasma diagnostic measurements, to improve its performance used for spectrochemical analysis will also be covered. Topics to be covered include thermal equilibrium, line profiles, temperatures, electron densities, excitation processes, micro reactions, pump and probe diagnostics, tomography,
temporal and spatial resolution. Basis of plasma computer modeling will be presented.
